A new parameter and its algorithm for network connection reliability: k/N-terminal reliability

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Existing network connection reliability parameters can't measure the connection situation of only some terminals in a specified terminal-set. To solve this problem, a new network connection reliability parameter, kIN-terminal reliability, is put forward. It is defined as the probability that at least k terminals of a specified terminal-set N in the network G(V,E,Φ) will connect for a given period of time when used under specified operation conditions, where N⊆V and 2≤k≤r. The exact algorithm based on inclusion-exclusion principle is also given. An example is used to illustrate the applicability of this new parameter and its algorithm.
