Nowadays the use of wireless sensor networks is a common activity. For this reason there are many works trying to solve the main inconveniences of the wireless sensor networks the energy consumption and security. Traditionally, these networks were composed only by sensors, but now routers have been included in order to facilitate communication among sensors and reduce energy consumption at the same time. A Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network consists of many sensor nodes, routers and a base station. The number and type of sensor nodes and the design protocols is application specific. The sensor data in this application may be light intensity, temperature, pressure, humidity and their variations. Scheduling and Intrusion Detection are the two areas which are given more attention in this paper. In this paper, we propose a new approach of an Intrusion Detection Based Security Solution and Sleep /Wakeup Scheduling protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks.

Keywords: Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks, Scheduling, Intrusion Detection System, Medium Access Control.
