ABSTRACT:
A mobile terminal (10) has multiple alternative protocol stacks (151, 152 . . .) which correspond to the protocols used on multiple backbone networks (30a-30c) to which the mobile terminal can obtain access through one or more radio access networks (20a-20c) with which it is in communication using a common, predetermined low level signalling protocol. The radio access network (20) broadcasts signals (102) indicating the types of backbone network to which it is connected (and thereby the protocols they employ), and on encountering a signal indicating a new type of backbone network, a mobile terminal 10 may download a new protocol stack from the radio access network.
