15.4. Current Survivability Approaches in Wireless Networks

Survivability of wireless networks has recently begun to receive attention, mainly focusing on database survivability tailored to the cellular network databases (HLR and VLR) architecture [17–19]. This work focuses on the development of checkpoint algorithms and authentication techniques for the fault recovery of database contents. Literature on the design of a survivable landline topology for wireless networks [20–23] concentrates on formulating various optimization models for single-link failure survivable landline mesh-topology and capacity allocation design. However, the approach and assumptions used are identical to techniques used for wired backbone network design. None of the ...
