摘要:Network reliability analyses have received much attention in heterogeneous wireless network performance evaluation during the last few years. In this paper, a method for heterogeneous wireless network reliability evaluation to meet the required levels of heterogeneous wireless network differences of various graph-theoretic connectivity measures is proposed. A concept of heterogeneous wireless network reliability degree is proposed and a heterogeneous wireless network reliability entropy-based method for analyzing the proposed reliability measure is discussed. This method is based on heterogeneous wireless network survivability and stability analyses. Its core is the computation of some heterogeneous wireless network combinatorial invariants. These invariants, once computed, directly provide pure and simple framework for computation of heterogeneous wireless network reliability. We illustrate how a new approach to assessing the performance of in heterogeneous wireless networks. Our results also illustrate how the characteristics of the heterogeneous wireless networks may affect the performance of the different measures. We also present some simulation results.
