1. A method for communicating data in a wireless communications network, comprising:
- receiving, by a device, a first message from a station;
decoding the message to determine service information, the service information identifying a service provided by the station;
generating a second message, wherein the second message is generated to indicate the service provided by the station and service information of the device; and
transmitting, by the device, the second message to a remote station.
