  1. Reliability Scope • What is reliability ? • Reliability parameters. • Failure characteristics • Sources of failures in communication system

  2. Reliability Definition • Generally defined as the ability of a product to perform as expected over time • Formally defined as the probability that a communication system performs its intended function for a stated period of time under specified operating conditions

  3. Reliability Definition • Mathematically, this may be expressed as, where is the failure probability density function.

  4. Reliability Reliability parameters • MTBF : Total operating time divided by the number of failures. MTBF is the inverse of failure rate. • MTTR : Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), is the time taken to repair a failed hardware module. • Availability = MTBF MTBF + MTTR

  5. Reliability HardwareFailure characteristic Bath tub curve

  6. Reliability HardwareFailure characteristic Infant Mortality • This class of failures cause newly manufactured hardware to fail. • Mainly due to manufacturing problems like poor soldering, leaking capacitor etc. • These failures can be detected during system burn in tests in factory.

  7. Reliability HardwareFailure characteristic Random Failures • Random failures can occur during the entire useful life of a hardware module. • These failures can lead to system failures. • Normally Redundancy is provided to recover from this class of failures.

  8. Reliability HardwareFailure characteristic Failures due to Wear Out • Mainly due to degradation of component characteristics will cause hardware modules to fail. • can be minimised by preventive maintenance

  17. Reliability Thumb Rules • Use good quality hardware from reputed vendor • Get manufacturer test reports • Carry out FAT • Do proper installation and commissioning • Ensure proper installation during SAT • Keep system documentation ready to minimise downtime. • Carry out periodic maintenance. • Asses life of HW and replace it in time.
