Title: Transmission of signaling information for broadcast and multicast services
Inventor: VAYANOS ALKINOOS HECTOR
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: Techniques for transmitting signaling information for broadcast and multicast services are described. A base station transmits signaling information for each service in accordance with a schedule that includes a repetition period and a modification period. The signaling information is sent in each repetition period to allow wireless devices to quickly obtain this information. Changes to the critical signaling information are permitted at the start of each modification period, which is an integer multiple of the repetition period. Whenever the critical signaling information for a given service is changed in a given modification period, a notification indicator for the service is set in an entire preceding modification period to inform the wireless devices of the impending change. The wireless devices can detect the notification indicator being set in the preceding modification period and can retrieve the updated critical signaling information in the following modification period.
