Abstract
A Cellular IP (CIP) network involves a bulk of data transmission. It is highly reliable and guarantees the safe delivery of the packets required in such systems. Reliable traffic performance leads to efficient and reliable connectivity in Cellular IP network. CIP network, which consists of mobile hosts, base stations, and links, are often vulnerable and prone to failure. During the routing operation in the network, the base station, which works as router for the transmitted packets, may fail to perform. Reliable transmission is desirable, in terms of services of the base stations in the network, reliable routing, and processing the data. In this paper, the authors design a reliability model to increase the reliability of a flow, consisting of packets, passing through routers in a Cellular IP network. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is able to solve a class of complex optimization problems. PSO is used to improve the reliability of the flow in CIP network. The proposed model studies the effects of packet processing rate (), packet arrival rate (), and the number of packets per flow on the reliability of the system. A simulation experiment is conducted and results reveal the effectiveness of the model.
