ABSTRACT:
A method to establish communications in a centralized network determines that a connection needs to be established and generates a connection type and a connection specification. A connection is then requested from a central coordinator. If the connection is granted, a connection identifier with an originating service access point and predefined parameters with the connection identifier. The determination of a need for a connection may be made by request from an application, or automatically determining that a connection does not exist and needs to be set up.
