A METHOD OF INITIALIZING AND ESTABLISHING LINKS IN A MULTI-MODE MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

A method of performing a handover with at least one of a homogeneous andheterogeneous network is disclosed. More specifically, the method comprisesestablishing a heterogeneous network handover module for converginginformation from the at least one network interface module associated with theat least one of a homogeneous and heterogeneous network into a unifiedpresentation and receiving a message for powering on at least one networkinterface module in a mobile terminal from the heterogeneous network handovermodule. The method further comprises performing a power on operation foractivating the at least one network interface module and transmitting aconfirmation message for indicating a power on operation status to theheterogeneous network handover module.
