Acronym	Definition

$t_n^{max}$	maximum allowed time for an iteration cycle
${ℝ}_{+}$	set of positive real numbers
$P_{n }^T\left(t\right)$	probability function that it may come with a threat message
$P_{n }^A\left(t\right)$	probability function of a node to avoid threat
$t_{\left(n, \mathrm{ń}\right)}^{p_1}$	first point of time when a set of nodes in the network establishes successful communication
