Roaming fraud means a serious global concern for mobile operators. It is also considered by the GSM Association Fraud Forum to be a significant problem. Nowadays combating and preventing losses caused by roamers fraudulent behaviour represents a hot topic in the mobile industry discussions.
In this case the home network takes responsibility of its subscriber usage. Whilst the problem of traditional fraud gained solution there is a crucial problem on interoperator settlement. The delay in data interchange process is an opportunity window for fraudsters to take illegal advantage of it and cause significant revenue loss to operators.
Examining all these possibilities the GSMA decided the implementation of the NRTRDE as a mandatory, interoperable system for all GSMA members by 1 October 2008. NRTRDE provides a new method for monitoring the customers activities in the VPMN networks, and enables the HPMN (Home Public Mobile Network) to detect unauthorized network usage and other fraud issues near real time.
The GSMA recommendation for an adequate and standardized tool for combating roaming fraud is welcomed by operators. The significant level of interest that shows on the market is a further proof that there is a strong business need for it. Although introducing NRTRDE systems with all its benefits would mean a huge change for operators.
All GSM operators are urged to start preparation for implementing their NRTRDE systems to keep final deadline.

Via TAP process: Solution integrated within the existing roaming management system Works only if the TAP process is fast enough to keep the 4 hour requirement Advantage: easier separation of NRTRDE and TAP files on receiver side Via Mediation: Standalone solution - separated from the TAP process The records filtered out by the mediation device are converted to NRTRDE and sent Works only if the mediation is fast enough Via Direct Filters: Standalone, parallel process with the mediation Uses the raw records coming from the network elements Requires separate filters for each network element The speed of the NRTRDE process depends on how independent is from other processes.
Deploying NRTRDE
Independent from the different possible deployment scenarios direct, partnerto-partner connections or distribution by clearinghouses there are several different architectural possibilities for the NRTRDE architecture on both sender and receiver side.
