“…In a WSN-based monitoring system in buildings, one major concern is the data transmission reliability [21,22]. This is because the wireless signal transmission is not as reliable as the wired one, and the data received through WSN may suffer from various types of abnormality.…”

“…Industrial WSN have been identified as one of the most important technologies for the 21 st century [39] due to low cost deployment and advances in processing capabilities. Standardization efforts (e.g., ISA [34]) and many commercial solutions (e.g., Crossbow [20]) are currently available to provide this technology to end users.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely considered as a promising solution to support different types of applications on industrial environments. Many of these applications impose strict dependability requirements, since a system failure may result in economic losses, or damage for human life or to the environment. The absence of an effective approach enabling the dependability evaluation of WSNs prevents system designers to forecast these type of scenarios or to optimize decisions regarding the criticality of the devices, network topology, levels of redundancy and network robustness that minimize the occurrence of faults. To bridge the gap between research achievements and industrial development, we present in this paper a framework to support the dependability evaluation of WSNs based on the automated generation of analytical dependability models from high level AADL (Architecture Analysis and Description Language) architecture models. The main objective of this framework is to relieve the end user from a deep knowledge of dependability modeling techniques and evaluation methods, focusing on their knowledge of the behavior and structure of the system.

“…This measure is based on a given estimation of the data generation rate and the failure probability of each sensor. Common cause failures (CCF) have been discussed and identified as the cause of unreliability in WSN in [12], [1]. Authors in [12] consider the problem of modeling and evaluating the coverage-oriented reliability of WSN subject to CCF whereas in [1] the main emphasis is on addressing the problem of modeling and evaluating the infrastructure communication reliability of WSN.…”

Many anticipated deployment scenarios, in particular military, healthcare, and disaster-recovery applications, of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) require reliable source to sink communication. Since transmission range of sensors is quite limited, to achieve higher end-to-end transmission reliability, WSNs generally employ intermediate backbone links (wired or wireless) that can deliver packets at larger distances. In this paper, we evaluate the reliability of backbone-assisted routing and dissemination in WSNs. In particular, we use reliability theory to investigate two important problems: a) if sensor node to backbone/gateway node ratio is fixed in a unit area, what is the maximum achievable reliability? b) How many wired hops or gateway nodes are required to achieve a given reliability? Finally we analyze the cost and benefit incurred by adding gateway nodes to a backbone-assisted WSN and observe that after a certain threshold adding more backbone nodes to the WSN provides negligible improvement in the overall end-to-end reliability.
