Reliability Evaluating Method of Ad hoc Network

The reliability of network reflects one aspect of network's performance, it plays an important part in the evaluation of system performance. Is this paper, a new estimate index of network reliability is introduced and an incidence matrix is used to depict the connectivity of the network nodes in a dynamic network model. A determinant arithmetic of the network connectivity and a calculate method are presented to achieve reliavility evaluation for Ad hoc network. Simulation results through random trials indicate that the method presented in this paper is usable to validate the reliability of the dynamic Ad hoc network.
