Apparatus and Method for Providing Service for Media Independent Handover

摘要

A service providing method and apparatus provides a service for a media independent handover (MIH). A first node receives a first message from a second node, the first message including information about whether the second node supports a service through first layer and whether the second node supports a service through second layer, and the first node selects a service transport layer for providing a service from the first and second layers and provides a service to the second node through the service transport layer. Accordingly, the first node may effectively perform an MIH because it may easily understand the MIH capability of the second node.
