ENHANCED COMMON LOGICAL-A PROTOCOL FOR RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEMS

摘要

A network has a central entity connected to a plurality of capillary networks and external networks. Information regarding the capillary networks and the external networks may be fused in the central entity to provide assistance services and network control to one or more of the capillary networks. The information may be collected from the capillary networks using a logical interface with a common upper layer coupled to multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs). The central entity configures an internal communications network including a plurality of disparate devices, and recognizes and communicates with each device within the internal communications network by discovering each new device as introduced into the internal communications network. A communication link can be set up with reconfigurable or capable devices to exchange information possibly in another format in another band. The same communication link can be torn down after completion of the service.

主权项

1. A central entity for connecting a wireless transmit receive unit (WRTU) to an external network, comprising:
a processor, configured to:
send discovery signals via a plurality of Radio Access Technology (RAT) frequencies to discover the WTRU,detect a RAT associated with the WTRU, provided that if the central entity is missing the RAT, the central entity is configured to download and install an instruction set corresponding to the RAT, andestablish a data link with the WTRU.
