Apparatus and method to handle dynamic payloads in a heterogeneous network
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first request for data communication from a first node, the first request being coded in a first protocol, the first request being modified to include information identifying a first payload type;
receiving a second request for data communication from a second node, the second request being coded in a second protocol, the second request being modified to include information identifying a second payload type;
configuring a first message coded in the first protocol to include the information identifying the second payload type, the first message being an Open Logical Channel (OLC) message;
sending the first message to the first node to ascertain a capability of the first node to process the second payload type; and
receiving a first response to the first message from the first node, the first response being sent by the first node as a response to receiving the first message and including information indicative of whether the first node can process a payload of the second payload type.

Abstract
Various embodiments provide an apparatus and method for handling dynamic payloads in a heterogeneous network. An example embodiment includes a first node interface to receive a first request for data communication from a first node, the first request being coded in a first protocol and including information identifying a first payload type. The example embodiment includes a second node interface to receive a second request for data communication from a second node, the second request being coded in a second protocol and including information identifying a second payload type. The first node interface of the example embodiment configures a message coded in the first protocol to include the information identifying the second payload type and to send the message to the first node.
