A new algorithm for reliability evaluation of telecommunication networks with link-capacities
Abstract In the case of practical systems, a sample technique for the evaluation of symbolic reliability expression is presented. A system is considered reliable only if it successfully transmits at least the required system capacity from the transmitter to the receiver station. This paper gives two algorithms. The first algorithm begins at a valid group. All valid groups can be developed from it by successive replacement of branches one by one. All valid groups developed are mutually disjoint, represent just a probability term in final reliablity expression and there is no duplication. The second algorithm gives first algorithm's dual algorithm. It begins at a valid cut group, generates the unreliability.
