Abstract
A growing body of evidence links reinforcing steel corrosion to a marked reduction in the service life of cellular mobile networks. The performance of the system is assessed by fault tree analysis over a wide range of loading. An improvement of about 11% in performance was obtained by tuning three key parameters. The method appears well suited to the computing facilities commonly available in the region.
