Abstract
A new reliability evaluation measure, global clustering reliability (GCR), is proposed. Firstly, the common measures used in invulnerability and survivability evaluation of mobile communication networks are discussed, and the shortcomings of these measures are pointed out. Then a new reliability evaluation measure, GCR. which is applicable to mobile communication networks, is proposed. And some properties and theorem about this measure are put forward. Finally, simulation calculation of reliability evaluation that uses this measure to 12 kinds of topological networks is accomplished. And the comparison between this measure and link connected factor (LCF) measure is also given. The results proved that the design of GCR was reasonable, its computation was rapid; moreover, it could take into account of invalidation of both nodes and links, and it had good physical meanings.
