Network reliability analysis is vital for ensuring efficient and error-free communication within networking and communication applications. Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) have emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing and optimizing complex network infrastructures. The objective of this research paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of edge-ordering algorithms for network reliability using BDDs the study aims to evaluate and compare existing algorithms, providing valuable insights for selecting suitable edge-ordering algorithms that enhance network reliability. The paper concludes that snooker is outperforming among selected algorithms.

In this letter, we consider the privacy-preserving strategies of the distributed state estimator over wireless sensor networks. Aiming at an eavesdropper who can intercept the data transmitted on the communication channel, we design a simple preserving scheme to encode the transmitted data by using system dynamics and history estimates. To analyze the privacy-preserving performance, we use the gap between the values deciphered by the eavesdropper and decoded by the sensor as the privacy index to evaluate the degree of robust privacy protection. Finally, we provide some simulations to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed preserving schemes.
