The method comprises identifying 200 a multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) request, wherein the m DNS request being received from the wireless communication device, and assigning 202 a LinkLocal (LL) -address for the wireless communication device. The method comprises also retrieving (204) a local IP-address of an Authentication and Authorisation Service (AA-S) having authorisation information regarding a local service device, and authenticating (206) with the AA-S which type of services that the wireless communication device is authorised to use. Moreover, the method comprises, retrieving (208) a local IP-address of the local service device, and conveying (210) service data between the wireless communication device and the local service device, by applying the LL-address of the local service device. |
