With radio frequency (RF), the mobile charger (MC) can wirelessly transmit energy to the sensor nodes in the network. The wireless energy transfer enhances the lifetime of sensor nodes in wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs). Most of the studies improved the efficiency of MC or perpetuated the lifetime of WRSNs. At the same time, none of the studies focused on considering the spatial and temporal surveillance qualities (STSQs) of each sensor recharged. Therefore, this article proposed an efficient energy recharge scheduling for MC, aiming to maximize the STSQ of the given network. Initially, sensor routing load (RL) is considered to partition the network to distribute the charging load of the MCs evenly. Second, the busy level of the MC is considered to send the recharging requests to the MC. Based on the busy level of MC, the sensors adjust the sensing rate frequency to manage their energy. Finally, cooperation between the neighboring MCs is proposed to reduce the waiting time for recharging requested sensors. The simulation results present that the proposed work yields the literature in terms of STSQ, traveling distance, average waiting time (AWT), and energy usage efficiency.
