Abstract:
1. A method for providing one or more power-efficient information summary flows within a mobile multimedia broadcast system, comprising: including one or more power-efficient logical channels within an overhead information service portion of a broadcast signal, the power-efficient logical channels including data that may be mapped to one or more information summary flows; activating a receiver circuit within a receiver device to receive the overhead information service portion of the broadcast signal; obtaining the one or more power-efficient logical channels from the received overhead information service; passing data received in the obtained one or more power-efficient logical channels to an upper protocol layer of the receiver device to obtain the one or more information summary flows; determining, by the upper protocol layer, from the obtained one or more information summary flows whether an information flow within the broadcast signal should be received by the receiver device; and activating the receiver circuit in the receiver device to receive, at a lower protocol layer, the information flow when it is determined that the information flow should be received.
