In telecommunications, channel reliability (ChR) is the percentage of time a communication channel was available for use in a specified period of scheduled availability. Channel reliability is given by
C h R = 100 ( 1 − T o T s ) = 100 T a T s {\displaystyle ChR=100(1-{\frac {T_{o}}{T_{s}}})=100{\frac {T_{a}}{T_{s}}}}
where T o is the channel total outage time, T s is the channel total scheduled time, and T a is the channel total available time.
