A communication device is a communication device connected to a mobility network which is a network mounted in a mobility and which is used by a plurality of electronic control devices for communication. The communication device includes: a holding unit which holds range information indicating a transferable path range determined for a message on the mobility network; a receiving unit which receives the message on the mobility network; and a determining unit which determines validity of the received message by using the range information.

A method of and a device for operating a service discovery and selection function in a telecommunications system, wherein the service discovery and selection function registers a service profile of a service provided by at least one service producer of the telecommunications system. The service profile among others includes consistency group information and proximity information. The consistency group information identifies instances of the service sharing a same state and the proximity information identifies deployment of the instances in the telecommunications system. The service discovery and selection function, from the service profile, based on service selection criteria, selects a single service instance of the service for a service consumer of the telecommunications system requesting the service, and identifies the selected service instance to the service consumer.
