Apparatus, and associated method, for retrieving mobile-node logic tree information
First Claim
1. In a radio communication system defining a communication network and having a mobile node forming a portion thereof, the communication network managed by a network manager, an improvement of apparatus for the mobile node for facilitating retrieval of capability indicia of the mobile node, the capability indicia representative of a dynamically alterable mobile node capability related to objects maintained thereat, and the mobile node capability independently alterable, said apparatus comprising:
- a detector coupled to receive indications of a request for capability indicia associated with a selected set of the objects maintained at the mobile node and at a selected level of detail, said detector for detecting values representative of which selected set for which the capability indicia is requested and the selected level of detail that is requested; and
a retriever operable responsive to detection of the request by said detector, said retriever for retrieving the capability indicia at the selected level of detail indicated in the request.

Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating exchange of configuration indicia associated with a mobile node operable in a radio communication system. The mobile node is dynamically-configurable, and includes a logic tree. The indicia is provided to a network manager responsive to request therefore or upon initiation by the mobile node. When initiated at the network, a request message generator located at a network manager generates a get message to request that certain configuration indicia be provided to the network manager. The mobile node, upon delivery of the get message thereto, retrieves the requested information, at a selected level of detail, and returns the indicia to the network manager.

23. In a method for communicating in a radio communication system defining a communication network having a mobile node forming a portion thereof, the communication network managed by a network manager, an improvement of a method for facilitating retrieval by the network manager of capability indicia of the mobile node, the capability indicia representative of a dynamically-alterable mobile node capability related to objects maintained thereat, the mobile node capability alterable independent of the network manager, said method comprising:
-
generating a request message for communication to the mobile node, the request message requesting the capability indicia related to a selected set of the objects maintained at the mobile node and requesting the capability indicia to be provided at a selected level of detail; and
delivering the request message to the mobile node. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. In a radio communication system defining a communication network and having a mobile node forming a portion thereof, the communication system utilizing a Sync ML (Sync Mark-Up Language) protocol, the communication network managed by a network manager, an improvement of a method for facilitating retrieval by the network manager of capability indicia of the mobile node, the capability indicia representative of a dynamically-alterable mobile node capability related to objects maintained thereat, the mobile node capability alterable independent of the network manager, said method comprising:
-
a detector coupled to receive indications of a Sync ML-formatted request for capability indicia associated with a select set of the objects maintained at the mobile node, the selected set of objects identifying management capability information of the mobile node, said detector for detecting values representative of which selected set for which the capability indicia is request; and
a retriever operable responsive to detection of the Sync ML-formatted request by said detector, said retriever for retrieving the capability indicia indicated in the request.
