Description: TOPIC: CORRELATED PROBABILISTIC COMPETING FAILURE ANALYSIS USING MONTE CARLO SIMULATION

LOCATION: Charlton College of Business Conference Room, CCB 115

ABSTRACT:
This project considers reliability analysis of a relay-assisted wireless body area network (WBAN) subject to correlated, probabilistic competing failure behaviour. In particular, there exist competitions between failures of different WBAN components; different failure occurrence sequences can lead to dramatically different network statuses. Monte Carlo simulations are implemented in the Java environment to estimate the reliability of an example WBAN system subject to multiple correlated competing failure groups. Different component failure types and different time-to-failure distributions are considered. Results from this work can provide insights into the failure behavior and reliable operation of relay-assisted WBAN systems.
