Reliability and availability analysis by grouping states of four telecommunication stations connected in a ring
Slavko Pokorni Rifat Ramoviæ
Models for reliability and availability of a telecommunication system comprising four telecommunication stations connected in a ring by duplex lines are derived. The variants with redundant and unredundant receiver-transmitters are analyzed. The models are developed based on the grouping of possible states of an analyzed system using the Markov models for transition probabilities between system groups of states. The derivation of transition probabilities between groups of states is presented as well as the results of system reliability and availability.
Key words: reliability, availability, telecommunication system, grouping of states, Markov models. |
