Abstract
This article presents an architecture of all-IP Based Future Heterogeneous Mobile Communication System (FHMCS). In this architecture Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) network has been proposed as an integral part of FHMCS that will facilitate the Mobile Station/User Equipment (MS/UE) in Network Discovery. The Network Discovery is achieved by using Mobile Network Information Repository (MNIR), embedded at the MVNO site. The network discovery will help reduce handoff latency, decreasing the probability of packet loss and handoff failures. In this article the population and updation of MNIR is presented. The network information will only be available to legitimate users of all Mobile Network Operators having a single Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the MVNO.
