Abstract

The emphasis in this study is on executing the MANET reliability using Weighted Universal Generating Function (WUGF). MANET is a self-configuring network connected by wireless links. The performance evaluation of a MANET is the probability of transferring the message successfully from the source to the destination without any delay. This study is devoted to assess the MANET reliability in a Universal Generating Function (UGF) paradigm. By introducing different composition operators over UGF, the physical happening of the network can be predicted. The computation procedure will become cumbersome if the number of nodes in the network increases. Hence this study introduces a novelty approach-WUGF to achieve the reliability of a MANET. A novelty algorithm has been designed to assess the reliability using WUGFT and is validated with a case study in the military test bed.
