Abstract

A facility controlling a communication device to create a disconnected ad hoc network and then to rejoin an internetwork is described. The communication device makes a direct or indirect wireless connection with a participant in a network in which the communication device was formerly a participant. In response to making the connection, the communication device: (1) communicates with a registration authority of the network to synchronize a provisional registration authority state established by the first communication device during a period after the communication device was formally a participant in the network and before the connection was made; and (2) communicates with a security authority of the network to synchronize a security authority state established by the communication device during the period.
