ABSTRACT
Analysis for the probabilistic network lifetime in WSNs, the probabilistic energy consumption analysis is represented, when using discrete channel model for the anycast protocol. The developed model to analyze the distributions of energy consumption in WSNs is presented, and the distributions of node lifetime and network lifetime are derived using the energy consumption distribution. A case study for the anycast protocol is provided, and the relationships between network parameters and the lifetime distribution are investigated. The analysis is validated by extensive simulations.
