Method, system and apparatus for indirect access by communication device

A method of terminal equipment indirect access of a wide area network through a forwarding user equipment device, comprising the steps of:

• attaching a terminal equipment device to a master user equipment device via a personal network, the master user equipment device having a subscriber relationship with a service provider, the terminal equipment device not having a subscriber relationship with the service provider;
• the master user equipment device requesting a personal network server to register the terminal equipment device for indirect access to the wide area network based on the subscriber relationship of the master user equipment device with the service provider;
• the personal network server storing registration information to permit indirect access of the terminal equipment device to the wide area network after the personal network server authorizes indirect access of the terminal equipment device to the wide area network;
• the personal network server transferring the registration information to the master user equipment device;
• the master user equipment device transferring the registration information to the terminal equipment device;
• attaching the terminal equipment device to the forwarding user equipment device via an ad hoc network, using the registration information from the personal network server, the registration information based on the subscriber relationship of the master user equipment device with the service provider;
• the forwarding user equipment device forwarding the registration information to the personal network server;
• the personal network server verifying that the terminal equipment device is registered;
• and
• the personal network server authorizing the forwarding user equipment device to allow the terminal equipment device to indirectly access the wide area network through the forwarding user equipment device.
