A first media independent handover function (MIHF) receives a media independent handover (MIH) capabilities discovery request from a second MIHF and generates a MIH capabilities discovery response message, including one or more parameters. Then the first MIHF then sends the MIH capabilities discovery response to the second MIHF. Based on the information contained in the MIH capabilities discovery response, the first MIHF may receive a handover request message from the second MIHF. The one or more parameters included within the discovery response message indicates the specific technologies for which the first MIHF supports a MMB handover. The one or more parameters may include a list of the technologies for which a make-before-break (MMB) handover is supported. For example, a parameter may use a specific bit structure wherein each bit is a Boolean representation of whether MMB handover is supported for a specific type of technology.

L'invention concerne une première fonction de transfert intercellulaire indépendant de support (MIHF) qui reçoit une demande de recherche de capacités de transfert intercellulaire indépendant de support (MIH) provenant d'une seconde MIHF, et qui génère un message de réponse de recherche de capacités MIH, comprenant un ou plusieurs paramètres. Ensuite, la première MIHF envoie la réponse de recherche de capacités MIH à la seconde MIHF. Sur la base des informations contenues dans la réponse de recherche de capacités MIH, la première MIHF peut recevoir un message de demande de transfert provenant de la seconde MIHF. Les un ou plusieurs paramètres inclus dans le message de réponse de recherche indiquent les technologies spécifiques pour lesquelles la première MIHF supporte un transfert MMB. Les un ou plusieurs paramètres peuvent comprendre une liste des technologies pour lesquelles un transfert intercellulaire sans coupure (MMB) est supporté. Par exemple, un paramètre peut utiliser une structure de bit spécifique dans laquelle chaque bit est une représentation booléenne du support ou non du transfert MMB pour un type de technologie spécifique.
