METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCOVERYING COMPONENT IN AT LEAST ONE OF SUB-NETWORK

摘要

A method for discovering components between more than one of sub networks and a device therefor are provided to store intrinsic information of all components in storage spaces of contexts which distinguish plural networks, and to deliver the stored information to a newly participating network, thereby discovering all of components within other networks. When participating in the first network among more than one of sub networks, a random component receives the first context of the first network and intrinsic information of components belonging to the first network(S300). The intrinsic information of the components belonging to the first network is mapped with the received first context for the mapped information to be stored(S310). When participating in the second network, the random component broadcasts the stored intrinsic information of the components belonging to the first network(S320).
