1. A method performed by a wirelesstransmit/receive unit (WTRU) of collecting data from a previously unknown source and providing the data to a recipient, the method comprising:
- detecting an indication from a remote device that data on the remote device is available for transfer from the remote device;
discovering the remote device after the detection of the indication from the remote device, the data being acquired by the remote device via a sensor, and the remote device being undiscovered prior to the detection of the indication, the remote device having a limited range wireless communication capability and the WTRU having the limited range wireless communication capability and an advanced range wireless communication capability and a subscription for the receipt of the data from the remote device;
receiving the data from the remote device after the discovery of the remote device, the data including at least one of;
an identification of the remote device or an identification of the sensor;
identifying a server based at least in part on the identification of the remote device or the identification of the sensor; and
sending the received data to the server from the WTRU.

Abstract
A device and method for registering devices on advanced networks as well as providing operative communications between a legacy device and a advanced network. The legacy device may contain data, such as sensor data, which is being collected on a network outside the communication range/abilities of the legacy device. An intermediary device may receive the data via a first communication scheme and send the device to a server collecting the data via a second communication scheme.
