availability, reliability, and maintainability metrics
Engineers in the telecommunications industry must be able to
quantify system reliability and availability metrics for use in
service level agreements, system design decisions, and daily
operations. Increasing system complexity and software dependence
require new, more sophisticated tools for system modeling and
metric calculation than those available in the current
literature.
Telecommunications System Reliability Engineering, Theory,
and Practice provides a background in reliability engineering
theory as well as detailed sections discussing applications to
fiber optic networks (earth station and space segment), microwave
networks (long-haul, cellular backhaul and mobile wireless),
satellite networks (teleport and VSAT), power systems (generators,
commercial power and battery systems), facilities management, and
software/firmware. Programming techniques and examples for
simulation of the approaches presented are discussed throughout the
book.
This powerful resource:
* Acts as a comprehensive reference and textbook for analysis and
design of highly reliable and available telecommunications
systems
* Bridges the fields of system reliability theory,
telecommunications system engineering, and computer
programming
* Translates abstract reliability theory concepts into practical
tools and techniques for technical managers, engineers and
students
* Provides telecommunication engineers with a holistic
understanding of system reliability theory, telecommunications
system engineering, and reliability/risk analysis
Telecommunications System Reliability Engineering, Theory, and
Practice is a must-have guide for telecommunications engineers or
engineering students planning to work in the field of
telecommunications

"For that reason, this book will be very useful for
undergraduate students and practitioners who need a good
introduction to, or a refresher on, the reliability aspects of the
networks they work with." (Computing Reviews, 14
January 2013)
"This well-organized book compares and contrasts the
reliabilities of corresponding components that make up
today's major networks as well as the reliability of
facilities used to operate them." (Optics &
Photonics News, 1 November 2013)
