wireless communication networks. We introduce a stochastic reliability
model based on combination of the free space and the two ray ground propagation
models. The link reliability in static and dynamic networks is determined
using real and approximate methods. Link reliability of different networks
is determined using our approximate method and traditional methods based
on Monte Carlo simulation for static and dynamic networks and the effects
of using our approximate method are investigated. The results for two
random distributions of agents based on Monte Carlo simulation are compared
to the real connectivity method to show the superiority of our approach.
In particular, we provide a new measure of network reliability as a function
of the distance between mobile agents, quality of transmitters and receivers
and a model of reliability degradation.]]>Timo, R., K. Blackmore and L. Hanlen,20052005pp: 8994Krivelevich, M., B. Sudakov and V.H. Vu,200211465474Mendiratta, V.B.,20022002Barrett, C.L., M.V.
