Abstract
A portable communication unit (PCU) (102) performs (402) a registration process with a wireless local area network (WLAN) (104) when the PCU moves within communication range of the WLAN. The PCU and the LAN cooperate to create (404) a local information profile describing at least one of types of information and methods of delivering the information desired by a user of the PCU. During the registration process, the PCU and the WLAN cooperate further to determine (406) whether a type of information described in the local information profile is out-of-date or missing in the PCU. If so, the WLAN downloads (408) the type of information to the PCU in accordance with the local information profile.
