Abstract:
The cumulative failure rate is an important reliability index for evaluating Internet of Thing (IoT) device and system quality and reliability. However, in the horizontal specialization business model, IoT service infrastructure is often operated by multiple players such as service providers and device vendors, and device management information necessary to obtain the cumulative failure rate are owned independently and uncoordinatedly by them. In this paper, we propose a method of calculating the cumulative failure rate in such environment. We design an algorithm to aggregate and organize such distributed, uncoordinated information to derive the device operating history, which is fed into the cumulative failure rate calculation formula. Through several simulation experiments, we show the effectiveness of our method in some realistic scenarios.
