Abstract
A method and apparatus for tracking resources in a communication network. A central resource tracking function receives a request to track a resource from a location application node. The central resource tracking function broadcasts a subscription message to a plurality of Wireless Sensor Network Gateway nodes. The subscription message includes an identifier associated with the tracked resource. The central resource tracking function then receives a subscription response message from a first Wireless Sensor Network Gateway node informing the central resource tracking function that the resource associated with the identifier is located in the Wireless Sensor Network served by the first Wireless Sensor Network Gateway node, and receiving from a second Wireless Sensor Network Gateway node a subscription rejection message.
