Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computer-implemented method may include receiving transition information indicative of transition rates associated with a plurality of communication links in a network, wherein the network includes a plurality of nodes, the plurality of communication links, and a communication path between a first node and a second node of the plurality of nodes. In one embodiment, the communication path uses at least two of the plurality of communication links. The method may include generating biased transition information indicative of biased transition rates, wherein the biased transition rates are greater or less than the indicated transition rates and simulating the network, based on the biased transition information, until a transition associated with one of the communication links causes the communication path to transition to a different state. A network reliability parameter may be determined based on the simulation of the network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving first transition information indicative of first transition rates associated with a plurality of communication links in a network model, wherein the network model includes a plurality of nodes, the plurality of communication links, and a communication path between a first node and a second node of the plurality of nodes, wherein the communication path uses at least two of the plurality of communication link…
