Reliability Measurement in A Multi-path Transmission Network using SMP-BP Algorithm

Abstract

Data security is very important in the multi-path transmission networks (MTN). Efficient data security measurement in MTN is crucial so as to ensure the reliability of data transmission. To this end, this paper presents an improved algorithm using single-single minimal path based back-up path (SSMP-BP), which is designed to ensure the data transmission when the second path is out of work. From the simulation study, the proposed algorithm has the better network reliability compared with existing double minimal path based backup path (DMP-BP) approach. It could be found that, the proposed algorithm uses less back-up paths compared with DMP-BP so that less network resources like nodes are achieved.
