Abstract

The present invention relates to a converged personal network service (CPNS). More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for switching a personal network (PN) gateway in a PN from a first device to a second device, including the steps of: the first device transmitting, to the second device, a first message requesting PN gateway switching; the first device receiving a second message from the second device in response to the first message; and the first device authenticating the PN gateway when the second message includes a value indicating success, as well as to an apparatus therefor.
