Patent ID: 7903574

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, at a receiver device, a fixed size data stream protocol packet that comprises a payload; inspecting, by a processor, a payload type of the fixed size data stream protocol packet; determining that the payload type indicates that the payload includes service discovery descriptor data, and, in response, decapsulating the fixed size data stream protocol packet; determining to receive at least one additional fixed size data stream protocol packet of the payload type; repeating the receiving, inspecting, and decapsulating for the at least one additional fixed size data stream protocol packet, resulting in a plurality of service discovery descriptor data that includes service discovery descriptor data of the fixed size data stream protocol packet and additional service discovery descriptor data of the at least one additional fixed size data stream protocol packet; and generating, at the receiver device, a service discovery descriptor based on the plurality of service discovery descriptor data, wherein the service discovery descriptor identifies at least one service available for data streaming from a current cell or from at least one neighboring cell, wherein a length of the service discovery descriptor differs from a length of the fixed size data stream protocol packet.
