Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive approach for reliability analysis of a clusterbased sensor network. A three-level hierarchical model is used for sensor networks using fault trees and use Markov chains at the bottom level to model the reliability of individual sensor nodes. The model can capture the hardware/software failures of a sensor node, failures of clusters and base station as well as channel failure. We summarize the developed models, showcase the initial numerical results and outline the future avenues of research in the following sections.
