 for Mobile SIM Networks&description=This research developed a conceptual framework for a novel network integration with its decision rules considering the existing mobile network operators in Nigeria viz: MTN, GLO, ETISALAT and AIRTEL. In an earlier work, a Java VSIM portability Suite for Mobile Number Portability (MNP) was developed without detailing the formulation of the parametric network considerations based on user perspective on factors of Quality of Service (QoS). As such, network intelligent decision using fuzzy logic was leveraged to develop a focused evaluation based on a set of benchmarks which are considered to be crucial for its deployment viz: network integration and customer factor metrics. Using its 3D fuzzy logic plots, we showed that this will expand the frontiers of MNP research as well as the practicability of a trusted mobile platform. Consequently, this will improve the current MNP scheme in the world today when fully adopted.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/914.jpg)
