Abstract

This paper experimentally investigates the service availabilityof wireless multihop networks based on the following two metrics:Average Pairwise Connectivity (APC) and Pairwise Connected Ratio(PCR), where the former denotes the average number of node-disjointpaths per node pair and the latter is the fraction of node pairsthat are pairwise connected. A theoretical upperbound are derivedfor APC, which can approximate the exact value very well. We alsostudied the fault tolerance and attack resilience and proposed anew resilience metric, α-ρ-resilience, where a network isα-ρ-resilient if at least a portion of nodes pairs remainconnected as long as no more than p percentage nodes are removed.Three different node removal patterns are studied: random removal,selective removal and partition. The experimental studies show thatwireless multihop networks are more sensitive to partition andselective removal attacks are a little bit more severe than randomremoval attacks.
