Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for communicating with other devices, performed by a communication device comprising a converged personal network service (CPNS) enabled entity. The communication method comprises a step in which the CPNS enabled entity operates in a personal network entity (PNE) mode to establish a connection to a first device, wherein the first device is established as a gateway and thus manages a first network. The communication method further comprises a step of activating a bridge function in cases where the communication device has moved into the coverage of a second network managed by a second device.
