A method of discovering multi-mode mobile terminals (13) in a
heterogeneous network environment, each multi-mode mobile terminal (13)
having at least one interface for sending packet data to and/or receiving
packet data from a home radio communication network (11) and a foreign
radio communication network (12), said home radio communication network
having a different access technology from said foreign radio
communication network, each multi-mode mobile terminal (13) performing
the steps of: (a) listening to said foreign radio communication network
(12); (b) receiving and storing a foreign network indicator for
indicating presence of said foreign radio communication network (12); and
(c) transmitting said foreign network indicator to said home radio
communication network (11); whereby said home radio communication network
(11) may store a database comprising a mapping between a multi-mode
mobile terminal identity, a home network indicator and a foreign network
indicator, to facilitate interworking of said home and foreign radio
communication networks.
