Abstract

Network reliability means network ability which perform normal operation of network components within defined time period, on the other hand, network survivability is the index of normal operation in nerwork failure. In occurrence of network failure, network operator is interested in the measurement of network survivability, but, in a view of subscribers, it is more interested in how many subscribers are out of service and how long the out of service state lasts. In this paper, a service outage evaluation model fitted for telecommunication network in Korea is proposed, which measures the impacts of subscribers in case of network failure which induces a service outage. The outage evaluation result of "Mobile to Land" service outage which has 30.000 subscribers affected for 30 minutes is 2.5. This value is 5 times larger than that of the same service outage which has 10,000 subscribers affected for 30 minutes, i.e, the impact of subscribers in the former case is 5 times larger than that of the latter case. If 30,000 subscribers have isolated in "Mobile to Land," "Local Mobile to Mobile" service for 30 minutes by the exchange out of order in PCS network, then the evaluation result of this service outage will be 3.75.

정보화 시대가 도래하면서 통신망의 장애에 의한 서비스 단절은 사회 각 분야에 치명적인 영향을 끼치게 된다. 통신망 장애에 의한 피해를 계량적으로 평가할 때 서비스를 이용하는 가입자 측면에서 살펴보면 얼마나 많은 장비가 장애에 의해 피해를 입었는가 하는 것보다는 얼마나 많은 가입자가 얼마나 오랫동안 서비스를 이용하지 못하였는지가 더 중요할 것이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 국내 무선통신망의 장애발생시 가입자에 대한 충격정도를 정량적으로 산출하여 장애영향을 평가할 수 있는 장애영향 평가 모델에 대하여 제안하였다. 이때, 국내 무선통신망 환경에 적합한 장애영향 평가 모델을 제안하기 위하여 국내 무선통신망의 가입자수, 무선서비스 유형별 중요도에 따른 가중치를 고려하였고 장애에 의해 영향 받은 가입자수를 계량화하는 크기 비중 값 계산식을 개발, 적용하였다. 장애영향 평가 모델의 적용결과를 살펴보면 PCS 네트워크에서 30,000명의 가입자가 30분 동안 "Mobile to Land" 서비스를 제공받지 못했을 경우 장애지수는 2.5로서 10,000명의 가입자가 서비스를 제공받지 못한 경우의 0.5 보다 5배 정도 가입자에게 충격을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 30,000명의 가입자가 30분 동안 "Mobile to Land" 및 "Local Mobile to Mobile"의 서비스를 동시에 제공받지 못했을 경우는 3.75 이었다.비스를 동시에 제공받지 못했을 경우는 3.75 이었다.
