In [[telecommunication]], '''channel reliability''' (ChR) is the percentage of [[time]] a [[Channel (communications)|channel]] was available for use in a specified period of scheduled [[availability]]. 

Channel [[Reliability engineering|reliability]] is given by 

:<math>ChR = 100 (1 - \frac{T_o}{T_s} ) = 100 \frac{T_a}{T_s} </math>

where ''T'' <sub>o</sub> is the channel total outage time, ''T'' <sub>s</sub> is the channel total scheduled time, and ''T'' <sub>a</sub> is the channel total available time.
