1. A method comprising:
- receiving fetching information associated with a source user terminal at at least one destination user terminal from said source user terminal utilizing a short-range communication link in an ad hoc network, said fetching information identifying further information stored in the source user terminal;
utilizing the short-range communication link in the ad hoc network such that said at least one destination terminal uses said fetching information to fetch said further information from the source user terminal using said fetching information received from said source terminal; and
transmitting said fetching information from said at least one destination user terminal to at least one further terminal in said ad hoc network, so that said further information is distributed in said ad hoc network between said user terminals.

1. A method comprising:
-
receiving fetching information associated with a source user terminal at at least one destination user terminal from said source user terminal utilizing a short-range communication link in an ad hoc network, said fetching information identifying further information stored in the source user terminal; utilizing the short-range communication link in the ad hoc network such that said at least one destination terminal uses said fetching information to fetch said further information from the source user terminal using said fetching information received from said source terminal; and transmitting said fetching information from said at least one destination user terminal to at least one further terminal in said ad hoc network, so that said further information is distributed in said ad hoc network between said user terminals. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A communication system comprising a plurality of terminals in an ad hoc network, in which:
- a source user terminal is adapted to transmit fetching information associated with said source user terminal utilizing a short-range communication link in the ad hoc network;
said fetching information identifying further information stored in the source user terminal;
a destination user terminal is adapted to receive said transmitted fetching information; and
said destination user terminal is further adapted to utilize the short-range communication link in the ad hoc network to fetch further information from the source user terminal using said fetching information received from said source terminal; and
said destination user terminal is further adapted to further transmit said fetching information to at least one further terminal in said ad hoc network.
- a source user terminal is adapted to transmit fetching information associated with said source user terminal utilizing a short-range communication link in the ad hoc network;
-
23. A user terminal comprising:
-
a receiver adapted to receive fetching information associated with a source user terminal from said source user terminal utilizing a short-range communication link in the ad hoc network, said fetching information identifying further information stored in the source user terminal; and a fetcher adapted to utilize the short-range communication link in the ad hoc network to fetch said further information from the source user terminal; and a transmitter adapted to transmit said fetching information to at least one further terminal in said ad hoc network. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
