RELIABILITY AVAILABILITY AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF WIRELESS NETWORKS

Reliability is the paramount concern in wireless networks. Consequently, evaluating reliability has become the essential in systems. Many subsisting wireless network routing protocols postulate the availability of reliable nodes. This, however, is not an authentic postulation given the dynamics of wireless networks. Withal, due to frequent vicissitudes in topology, link failures and node failures are possible. Consequently, an authentic method is needed to evaluate reliability of wireless networks in case of such uncertainties. The reliability of a wireless network is tenacious by certain factors such as delay, throughput, latency and overhead. For experimental analysis the network performance feature that will be utilized in the experimental set up will be the throughput of the network. Throughput can be relegated as the volume or amount of data or traffic that can permeate a network at a given time. Throughput can be habituated to quantify network efficiency and reliability. Highly reliable contrivances, equipment, and infrastructure are required for high caliber of reliability.
