1. A mobile access point (MAP) of a vehicle communication network, the MAP comprising:
- at least one wireless transceiver operable to, at least;
communicate directly with a client device via a wireless communication link; and
communicate another access point of the vehicle communication network; and
at least one module operable to, at least, while the MAP is moving;
utilize the at least one wireless transceiver to provide wireless local area network (WLAN) services to the client device;
receive a first message from a first module of the MAP, the first message comprising first information of a first type of information regarding the operational state of the MAP;
receive a second message from a second module, independent of the first module, subscribing to the first type of information; and
in response to at least the received first and second messages, communicate the received first information to the second module.

7. An access point (AP) of a vehicle communication network, the access point comprising:
-
at least one wireless transceiver operable to, at least, communicate with other access points of the vehicle communication network; and at least one module operable to, at least; utilize the at least one wireless transceiver to provide wireless access to the vehicle communication network; receive a first message from a first module of the AP; in response to at least the received first message, creating a first information topic to which other modules may subscribe, the first information topic comprising a first type of information regarding an operational state of the AP; receive a second message from a second module, independent of the first module; in response to at least the received second message, subscribe the second module to the first information topic; receive a third message from the first module of the AP, the third message comprising first information of the first type of information; and in response to at least the received third message, communicate the first information to the second module. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A node of a vehicle communication network, the node comprising:
-
at least one transceiver operable to communicate with other nodes of the vehicle communication network; at least one module operable to, at least; receive a first message from a first module of a first access point of the vehicle communication network, the first message comprising first information of a first type of information regarding the operational state of the first access point; receive a second message from a second module of a second access point of the vehicle communication network subscribing to the first type of information; and in response to at least the received first and second messages, communicate the received first information to the second module, wherein the at least one module is operable to, in response to at least the received first message, store the first information for communication to a future subscriber. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
