Energy efficiency has proven to be an important factor dominating the working period of WSN surveillance systems. Intensive studies have been done to provide energy efficient power management mechanisms. In this paper, we present PAS, a Prediction-based Adaptive Sleeping mechanism for environment monitoring sensor networks to conserve energy. PAS focuses on the diffusion stimulus (DS) scenario, which is very common and important in the application of environment monitoring. Different with most of previous works, PAS explores the features of DS spreading process to obtain higher energy efficiency. In PAS, sensors determine their sleeping schedules based on the observed emergency of DS spreading. While sensors near the DS boundary stay awake to accurately capture the possible stimulus arrival, the far away sensors turn into sleeping mode to conserve energy. Simulation experiment shows that PAS largely reduces the energy cost without decreasing system performance
