METHOD FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE UPDATES FOR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

A method for performing selective updating procedure of service advertisements. In this method, a Master personal gateway (10a) chooses a Slave personal gateway (10c) to update from its service list (step 40). The Master personal gateway (10a) uses the service description stored in its service list to determine if the Slave personal gateway (10c) of PAN (21c) has the capabilities to use the service advertised (step 41). The Master personal gateway (10a) then forwards the service advertisement to the Slave personal gateway (10c) (step 42). The Slave personal gateway (10c) updates its service list and advertises the service within its PAN (21c) (step 43).
