The present invention discloses a method for transmitting messages to components in a wireless communication system using a server process. In an embodiment of the present invention, the wireless communication system is a set of interconnected nodes with a main circuit board connected to zero or more components. To transmit a message to a component in the wireless communication system, the message is first encapsulated with a reference label that is associated with a component to which the message is to be sent, i.e., destination component. Upon encapsulation, the message is then transmitted to a destination node, which is a node on which resides the destination component. At the destination node, a server process determines an address for the destination component using the reference label. In one embodiment of the present invention, the address of the destination component is determined by the server process using a mapping table containing information correlating reference labels to addresses of components in the destination node.
