Abstract:

In order to evaluate reliability of wireless mesh networks (WMN), a new method for evaluating network
reliability based on multipath routing (MP-NRE) is proposed. High mobility and ratio of link failure are studied.
Incidental multipath attenuation has influence on the network reliability. Experimental results show that network
reliability is higher with disjoint path than with multipath routing in WMN, and link lifetimes may be relatively
short compared to traffic flows. This is significant for WMN to improve network reliability and reduce end-to-end
delay.

Key words: wireless mesh networks(WMN), network reliability, multipath routing, reliability evaluating
