Network survivability modeling and analysis for power-aware MANETs by Markov regenerative processes

摘要

This paper presents the quantitative network survivability analysis for a power-aware mobile ad hoc network (MANET) based on Markov regenerative processes (MRGPs). The MRGP is one of the widest classes of stochastic point process which are mathematically tractable. In the past literature, the model for a power-aware MANET was described by a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC). However, in the sense of representation ability, CTMC modeling is not sufficient to analyze the relationship between battery state and node behavior in the power-aware MANET. In particular, such problem seriously arises when we treat the transient behavior of the power-aware MANET. In the paper, we revisit a power-aware MANET model by using MRGP, and present both stationary and transient analyses for the MRGP-based model.
