Abstract

A brokering service apparatus () and method therein () for assisting a first node () to roam in multiple mesh networks () are disclosed. The multiple mesh networks () comprises a first network () comprising a first node () and a gateway node () and a second network () comprising a gateway node (). The multiple mesh networks () further comprises a mesh node () which may belong to either the first network (), the second network () or a third network (). The brokering service apparatus receives a connection request associated with the first nodeand the first network (), the connection request is sent by the first node () via the mesh node (). The brokering service identifies the first network () and data requirements for the first node () and negotiates a roaming contract between a first NMS () associated with the first network () and at least a second NMS () associated with the second network (). When the roaming contract is established, the brokering service transmits a roaming accept message to at least the second NMS () of the second network ().
