1. An access point (AP) of a vehicle communication network, the access point comprising:
- at least one wireless transceiver operable to communicate with other access points of the vehicle communication network; and
at least one module operable to, at least;
receive a first message from a first module of the AP;
in response to at least the received first message, creating a first information topic to which other modules may subscribe, the first information topic comprising a first type of information regarding an operational state of the AP;
receive a second message from a second module, independent of the first module;
in response to at least the received second message, subscribe the second module to the first information topic;
receive a third message from the first module of the AP, the third message comprising first information of the first type of information;
in response to at least the received third message, communicate the first information to the second module;
receive a fourth message from the second module; and
in response to at least the received fourth message, unsubscribe the second module from the first information topic.

9. An access point (AP) of a vehicle communication network, the access point comprising:
-
at least one wireless transceiver operable to communicate with other access points of the vehicle communication network; and at least one module operable to, at least; receive a first message from a first module of the AP; in response to at least the received first message, creating a first information topic to which other modules may subscribe, the first information topic comprising a first type of information regarding an operational state of the AP; receive a second message from a second module, independent of the first module; in response to at least the received second message, subscribe the second module to the first information topic; receive a third message from the first module of the AP, the third message comprising first information of the first type of information; and in response to at least the received third message, communicate the first information to the second module, wherein the at least one module is operable to, in response to at least the received third message, store the first information for communication to a future subscriber. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

19. An access point (AP) of a vehicle communication network, the access point comprising:
-
at least one wireless transceiver operable to communicate with other access points of the vehicle communication network; and at least one module operable to, at least; receive a first message from a first module of the AP; in response to at least the received first message, creating a first information topic to which other modules may subscribe, the first information topic comprising a first type of information regarding an operational state of the AP; receive a second message from a second module, independent of the first module; in response to at least the received second message, subscribe the second module to the first information topic; receive a third message from the first module of the AP, the third message comprising first information of the first type of information; and in response to at least the received third message, communicate the first information to the second module, wherein the at least one module is operable to; receive the third message prior to the second message; and communicate the first information to the second module in response to at least the received third message and the received second message. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. A node of a vehicle communication network, the node comprising:
-
at least one transceiver operable to communicate with other nodes of the vehicle communication network; at least one module operable to, at least; receive a first message from a first module of a first access point of the vehicle communication network, the first message comprising first information of a first type of information regarding the operational state of the first access point; receive a second message from a second module of a second access point of the vehicle communication network subscribing to the first type of information; and in response to at least the received first and second messages, communicate the received first information to the second module, wherein the first type of information comprises information identifying one or more access points to which the first access point is communicatively connected and/or that are within communication range of the first access point. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
