Integrating network quality, performance and cost control through reliability analysis in optical network design

An effective algorithm for computing all‐terminal reliability bounds

“…For each network topology, the probability that an edge e is operational p e , which is equivalent to the edge availability a e , was calculated using the following equation [28]: a e = 0.99987 d e /(250×1.6093) (7) where d e is the distance between the two end vertices of edge e in the network (calculated assuming that the coordinates of the vertices correspond to their GPS locations). In Equation (7) the value 1.6093 converts miles to km.…”

Design of availability, reliability, and restoration for a telecommunications access network guided by customer demand for quality

“…Several authors have addressed the economic optimization of reliability in power distribution networks and telecoms networks, mainly concentrating on architecture: [2]- [3], [9]- [12], [14], [25], [26], [29]. A few authors have considered design guided by cost of interruption, or value to customers: [8], [13], [19], [23]. Also several have considered the allocation of reliability parameters to subsystems and components, see: [7], [16], [17], [21], [22], [27], [30].…”
