Abstract :
The virtual home environment (VHE) is an important portability concept of the 3rd generation mobile systems as it promises personalized services for roaming users across network and terminal boundaries. This paper examines the roaming issues involved in the provision of VHE services. It aims to present an overview of the service portability mechanisms proposed and tested within 3G systems, while it introduces an efficient VHE roaming approach and exposes the features of the core entities that realize it.
