Improving wireless network dependability for end-users

Abstract

Wireless network dependability has become an important issue for service providers, vendors, and users since everyone from all walks of life depends on wireless network and mobile services. To improve a wireless network, reliability, availability, and security are the main aspects of network dependability to be considered because wireless networks are more likely to have dependability problems in the future. This thesis focuses on the main aspects to wireless network dependability and also proposes an integrated approach using design changes and fault-tolerance to improve the dependability of wireless network.
