In the design of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), one of the fundamental considerations is the reliability and availability of communication paths between network pairs in the presence of node failures. Reliability and deployment cost are important and are largely determined by network topology. In fact, adding redundant network components increases the reliability of a network, but also increase...

In reliability optimization problems diverse situation occurs due to which it is not always possible to get relevant precision in system reliability. The imprecision in data can often be represented by triangular fuzzy numbers. In this manuscript, we have considered different fuzzy environment for reliability optimization problem of redundancy. We formulate a redundancy allocation problem for a...

In this paper, we propose a multiobjective Genetic Algorithm (mo-GA) for solving a multiobjective reliability optimization problem. In order to obtain high efficiency of searching non-dominated solutions, we combine the Improved Saving Pareto solutions Strategy (ISPS) and the adoptive Local Search (LS) with the multiobjective Genetic Algorithm. Through some numerical experiments, we evaluate th...

In this paper, a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the reliability redundancy optimization problem. This algorithm modifies the strategy of generating new position of particles. For each generation solution, the flight velocity of particles is removed. Whereas the new position of each particle is generated by using difference strategy. Moreover, an adapt...

This paper presents reliability evaluation techniques which are applied in distribution system planning studies and operation. Reliability of distribution systems is an important issue in power engineering for both utilities and customers. Reliability is a key issue in the design and operation of electric power distribution systems and load. Reliability evaluation of distribution systems has be...
