Zusammenfassung:	A method for implementing a Media Independent Handover (MIH) service between one or more of a heterogeneous and a non-heterogeneous network (10, 90) comprises providing an MIH beacon (192) from one or more of a network (Net) (182) or a mobile node (MN) (186, 188, 190); acknowledging a receipt of the MIH beacon by another of the network (Net) or the mobile node; and facilitating handover (HO) services in response to an acknowledged receipt, and further in response to an MIH beacon message subsequently provided from one or more of the network (Net) or the mobile node. In one embodiment, the MIH beacon comprises at least an MIH-Capability (MIHC) flag, the MIHC flag having one of a first state or a second state.
