description

Emerging 5G mobile networks envisage ultra-reliable communication (URC) as one of the major requirements for anytime anywhere communication. Although URC has recently attracted a lot of attention in the research community, existing work seems to rely on approaching reliability merely from a time domain perspective. However, both time and space domain parameters affect reliability and need to be investigated. This paper introduces a dependability theory based definition for per-user availability targeted at 5G networks. The advocated definition promotes both space and time domain components for URC provisioning. Furthermore, we perform reliability and availability analysis and simulations considering various network scenarios and mobility patterns.
