Reliability Analysis of Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) has become the most important means of communication in our day to day life. A rapid advance in technology and proliferation of wireless devices in the recent times has attracted huge attention towards research on MANET. It has found wide applications in dynamic and infrastructure less environments including emergency rescue operations etc. However, very little work is reported in the literature regarding reliability analyses for MANET. The paper presents survey of reliability analysis for MANET and provides critical reviews on them. Challenges in reliability analyses of MANET are also highlighted in the paper.
