Abstract:
A method for transferring data among communication devices. The method includes a first communication device receiving, from a second communication device, data to be transferred and a condition defining a range of data transfer. The first communication device then determines whether a third communication device satisfies the condition defining the range of data transfer. On condition that the first communication device determines that the third communication device satisfies the condition, the first communication device directly transfers the data and the condition to the third communication device.
