Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method performed by a converged personal network service (CPNS) enabled entity. The communication method comprises a step in which the CPNS enabled entity transmits a request message for instructing performance of a discovery procedure to a first PNE which belongs to a first network if a second PNE which belongs to a second network is not found in the coverage of the first network at the state where the CPNS enabled entity is established as a gateway for managing the first network; a step in which the CPNS enabled entity receives, from the first PNE, a response message; and a step of transmitting, based on the response message, a bridge request message for requesting that the second PNE operates as a bridge for interconnecting the first network and the second network, to a second gateway which manages the second network.

Abstract: Provided is a method for communicating with another device through a first device. The communication method includes: receiving a discovery request message including information regarding a mode of a second device; transmitting a discovery response message including information regarding a mode of a first device; receiving a gateway change request message for requesting mode switching to a combined mode from the second device; transmitting a gateway change response message with a result for the requesting to the second device; and changing the mode of the first device to the combined mode if the first device accepts the requesting, wherein the combined mode is a mode in which the first device operates as both a gateway of a first network and a member of a second network simultaneously.
