NODE CAPABILITIES DETECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for disseminating node related capability information in a communication network [40]. The method includes receiving [62, 64] an activation trigger at a first node [46] that is part of the communication network [40]; determining [60] at the first node [46], based on the received activation trigger, whether first node related capability information or second node related capability information is to be sent to neighboring nodes [47]; processing [66, 68, 70, 72] the first node related capability information or the second node related capability information at the first node [46] before sending it to the neighboring nodes [47] such that the node related capability information is added as one or more entries to the pre-established message structure; and disseminating [74, 76] the first node related capability information or the second node related capability information from the first node [46] to the neighboring nodes [47].
