Channel reliability

In telecommunications, channel reliability (ChR) is the percentage of time a communication channel was available for use in a specified period of scheduled availability.

Channel reliability is given by

:$ChR\; =\; 100\; (1\; -\; \backslash frac\{T\_o\}\{T\_s\}\; )\; =\; 100\; \backslash frac\{T\_a\}\{T\_s\}$

where T _o is the channel total outage time, T _s is the channel total scheduled time, and T _a is the channel total available time.
