Abstract

The reliability of network topology is examined using the event space technique. An algorithm is developed to computerize the process of identifying optimal redundancy. A relationship between link reliability and network reliability is formulated. Cost-effectiveness was implemented for the optimum redundancy of an optical fibre network (OFN) serving as a backbone to a mobile telecommunication system. The TIME dotCom (TDC) was taken as a model upon which the study is based.
