ABSTRACT
This chapter evaluates the behavior of a MANET, which has been modeled in a battlefield environment. The model of the considered battlefield consists of headquarters, forces, and the terrorist base camp, which individually acts as a node and transfers signal through wireless network. To elucidate the reliability, minimal cuts are first calculated and then transition states probabilities are obtained. When the MANET is in completely failed state, it has been repaired by two repair rates, general and exponential, incorporating Gumbel-Hougaard family of copula. Using Markov technique, Laplace transformation, and Gumbel-Hougaard family of Copula, probabilities for different transition states and reliability characteristics have been obtained.
