ABSTRACT: The stability and reliability
of links in wireless networks is dependent on a number of factors such as the
topology of the area, inter-base station or inter-mobile station distances,
weather conditions and so on. Link instability in wireless networks has a
negative impact on the data throughput and thus, the overall quality of user
experience, even in the presence of sufficient bandwidth. An estimation of link
quality and link availability duration can drastically increase the performance
of these networks, allowing the network or applications to take proactive
measures to handle impending disconnections. In this paper we look at a
mathematical model for predicting disconnection in wireless networks. This
model is originally intended to be implemented in base stations of cellular
networks, but is independent of the wireless technology and can thus be applied
to different types of networks with minimum changes.
