Abstract This paper presents a new approach for system integration of future wireless networks based on the evaluation of foreign party based measurements to support (vertical) handover. For the new proposal, referred to as Hybrid Information System HIS), it is suggested to collect information about the current state within the covered cell to provide this information to other mobiles that are willing to handover. The presented approach offers a great potential since scanning procedures can be minimized or even avoided. An underlying assumption is, that information offered by the other system was recorded nearby the own position. Therefore, a correlation investigation of nearby recorded radio reports is undertaken considering state of the art localization techniques used to map measurements and position. It is found by simulations and analysis that neither distance nor load represents a disqualification criterion for the presented idea. In a subsequent application of the HIS, the handover performance is evaluated. It is shown that HIS supported handover have the feasibility to improve efficiency of handover execution.
