1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a memory configured to store and maintain connectivity information of devices of a smart space, the devices of the smart space using a plurality of disparate radio access technologies to communicate with each other, and wherein the connectivity information defines a connectivity map comprising radio bearer information for one or more radio bearers for at least two of the plurality of disparate radio access technologies used by at least two of the devices to communicate with each other;

    a processor coupled to the memory; and

    a transceiver coupled to the memory,a the processor being configured to cause the transceiver to propagate via a selected radio bearer the connectivity information to at least one device of the smart space other than the at least two devices of the smart space, the selected radio bearer different from at least one of the one or more radio bearers used by at least two of the devices to communicate with each other.
