N2 - In a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the importance of individual sensors might not be equal. That is, some nodes might be more important than others due to their proximity to critical regions. A-ANCH is one of the new clustering algorithms for these scenarios which extends the lifetimes of active sensors by sacrificing in-active ones. In this paper, an analytical model for the A-ANCH algorithm is presented in order to predict the number of sensed events (packets) in the network. Our extensive experiments illustrated on average 91.08% accuracy for the proposed mathematical model compared with the results of a simulation study. The analytical model presented here has also revealed that the number of sensed events in the A-ANCH algorithm is sensitive to the number of sensors and the network dimensions. On the other hand, it is almost insensitive to the number of clusters.
