Abstract
In communications networks, network elements require knowledge of other network elements such as when they are added to or deleted from the network configuration and the resources they have available. The protocol allows network elements to communicate resource information dynamically and directly. The protocol also allows direct exchange of network configuration information between network elements for determining wireless communications network paging areas.
