Abstract
A mobile device configurable for direct communication in a wide area wireless network may join a local service domain and receive services through a gateway of that local service domain. The mobile device may be removed from the local service domain if the mobile device has been inactive for a threshold time period, the gateway device receives data indicating that the mobile device has been added to a different service domain, or a reply for a polling message sent to the mobile device has not been received.
