Abstract
The proliferation of Ad-hoc Networking creates the need for new network reliability methods. Ad-hoc networking is employed for the flexibility it provides the network users and the ease with which it is deployed. The lack of infrastructure requirements allow for the rapid deployment and redeployment of a network because no transmission towers or communication wire lines are necessary. However, this unique attribute of ad-hoc networking violates the base assumptions on which existing network reliability methods are founded. This paper will describe the unique characteristics of ad-hoc networks and current research developed to account for their effects in the determination of the network's reliability.
