DYNAMIC NEIGHBOUR TRUST INFORMATION RETRIEVAL FOR GLOBAL ROAMING<br />

satisfied to make sure that the neighbour<strong>in</strong>g relationship is correctly obta<strong>in</strong>ed. That<br />

means that the NTC update <strong>in</strong>terval is restra<strong>in</strong>ed by a threshold, which is jo<strong>in</strong>tly<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>ed by a user’s mobility pattern and the extent of the radio overlap. The skip of<br />

a particular cell dur<strong>in</strong>g the NTC update may result <strong>in</strong> non-adjacent cells be<strong>in</strong>g derived<br />

as be<strong>in</strong>g neighboured. The NTC exchange error rate represents the ratio of the NTC<br />

exchanges wrongly conducted to the total NTC exchanges expected for the topology.<br />

Figure 4.16 shows that the maximum allowable NUI varies as the MCRT changes.<br />

Generally, the NTC exchange error rate <strong>in</strong>creases when the NTC update <strong>in</strong>terval is<br />

widen. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the simulation results, the maximum allowable NUI is 4 m<strong>in</strong>s for<br />

MCRT=10m<strong>in</strong>s, 14 m<strong>in</strong>s for MCRT=30m<strong>in</strong>s, and 32 m<strong>in</strong>s for MCRT=50m<strong>in</strong>s. The<br />

results suggest that the NUI should be adjusted accord<strong>in</strong>g to the mobility pattern of the<br />

NTC participants <strong>in</strong> the PSMN.<br />
