A unified quality of recovery (QoR) measure

In this paper, carefully selected factors, playing an important role in the choice of recovery procedures applied in communication networks, are combined to form a unified quality of recovery measure. An example that shows how to use the proposed measure and how to draw conclusions from such numerical results is given. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
