The present invention introduces system, apparatus and method that reduce wastage of network resources and mobile phone resources. The mobile phone would indicate its status in a tracking area update message when it is connected to the device. The network can then understand from the status indication that the mobile phone is capable of delivering packets to the device, and would thus allow the server to initiate communications. An absence of the status indication would imply the mobile phone is not capable of delivering packets to the device, and the network would then disallow the server to initiate communications.

Communication system and apparatus for status dependent mobile services

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

Method for selective service updates for communication networks

A system that allows indirect access of a network by TE, comprising TE device information; a personal network (PN) server; a master UE of a personal network; a TE of a personal network; and a UE B connected to a WAN which forwards data to and from TEs. Using the master UE the user sets configuration details which is the TE device information and stored at the PN Server. The TE device information contains data which is used to allow and control access of TE to the network, when the TE uses other UEs to access the network. When the TE tries to access the network through another UE B, the PN Server uses the TE device information to authenticate and control access of TE. UE B acts as a forwarding device in this sequence between TE and the PN server.
