Network and terminal for forming an adhoc network by responsive to an inquiry forwarded by a slave terminal, setting up by the master unit a connection with the terminal to be incorporated into the network

摘要

The invention relates to a network having at least one slave terminal (7-10) and a master terminal (6) that is connected thereto that is provided for instructing at least one slave terminal (7) to check for inquiries from at least one other terminal (11) to be incorporated in the network. The instructed slave terminal (7) following detection of an as yet non-incorporated terminal (11) forwards the received inquiry to the master terminal. Upon receipt of the inquiry from the slave terminal, the master terminal sets up a connection with the as yet non-incorporated terminal. In an embodiment, the master terminal (6) sets up the connection by emitting an inquiry and paging the new slave terminal (11).
