Designing Reference Architecture for Providing Virtual Home Environment

This paper presents a proposal for a reference network centric architecture designed to enable mobility of personalized service environments across different networks and terminals. This concept is addressed in the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) specifications as Virtual Home Environment(VHE). Main objective of VHE is to enable user centric communications and ubiquitous personalization, thus providing users with consistent usage experience. The proposed architecture deals with various issues raised by VHE requirements, such as: handling different front-end technologies, defining and maintaining personal service profiles, convergence of telecomm networks and Internet etc. A partial implementation of the proposed architecture, based on mobile agents and Open Service Access (OSA), was implemented and tested in a laboratory environment.
