Reliability management and comprehensive evaluation method on telecommunication networks

The reliability of telecommunication networks is one of the most important quality indicators. In this paper, based on the analysis of indicator system of telecommunication network reliability, a model is provided to evaluate the growth of telecommunication network reliability. In the evaluating model how to determine the weight of every reliability indicator is a key problem. We combine the principal component analysis method with a neural network method to determine the weight of every indicator. Finally, an example of application of the evaluation model in a local network is given.
