VHE Services Provisioning on Mobile Internet

Virtual home environment(VHE) is a powerful concept for the 3rd generation mobile communication networks, which enables personal service environment(PSE) mobility across network boundaries and between terminals. But now there is no practical strategy for VHE. The VHE system requirements are discussed. Then a service-(oriented) VHE platform for mobile Internet, WSEVHEP (web services enabled VHE platform), is presented. This platform leverages web services techniques for its architecture and consists of three web services: VHE service, context service and (location-based) service. The 3rd-party services are all published as web services in this architecture. Software agent technique is used to implement VHE service. WSEVHEP realizes the concept of VHE features and satisfies the requirements of provisioning VHE service on mobile Internet.
