Abstract
A system and method of controlling redistribution of broadcast content within a personal area network using TSID-DMA mapping to localize devices, wherein some location-aware devices have the capability to derive region identifiers whereas other location agnostic devices localize themselves by adopting the DMA of the first broadcast content received. Rules for redistribution of broadcast content between devices are also established.
