Abstract
A method, implemented in a communication device, of indicating a service supported by the communication device. A hash value is generated, using a hash function, based on a service identifier associated with the service. Respective portions of the hash value are mapped to respective bit locations in a bit string that represents membership of the service in a set of services supported by the communication device. The bit string is generated at least by setting the bit locations in the bit string to values that indicate that the service is supported by the communication device.
