摘要：Reliability measures the ability of a system to perform its intended functions. It is one of the most critical performance measures of today’s complex systems, such as transportation systems, power systems, and communication systems. This paper studies the Reliability Evaluation of Multi-State Communication Systems. All systems are designed to perform their intended tasks in each environment. Some systems can perform their tasks with various distinctive levels of efficiency usually referred to as performance rates. A system that can have a finite number of performance rates is called a multi-state system (MSS). Usually, MSS is composed of elements that in their turn can be multi-state. A binary system is the simplest case of a MSS having two distinctive states (perfect functioning and complete failure). The paper places a particular stress on systems used to model communication systems such as the multi-state k-out-of-n system. The reliability metrics studied include reliability per se, its derivatives (for assessment of importance metrics) and its integral (for assessment of MTTF). Out of many approaches for evaluation of reliability for multi-state systems.
