Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable efficient broadcast service acquisition by ROM computing devices. In various embodiments, the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) Service Identifiers (IDs) for broadcast services intended for use by receive-only mode (ROM) computing devices may be divided into ranges by broadcast service type.

A method for Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) Service provisioning, comprising:
- assigning a MBMS Service Identifier (ID) to each Service Announcement (SA) service intended for use by a receive-only mode (ROM) computing device from a sub-range of MBMS Service IDs;
- combining each MBMS Service ID with a core network (CN) agnostic public land mobile network (PLMN) ID to generate a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier (TMGI) for each respective SA service, wherein the CN agnostic PLMN ID includes a shared mobile country code (MCC) value and/or a shared mobile network code (MNC) value that does not identify any specific CN;
- and
- broadcasting each respective SA service with the generated TMGI for that SA service.

A method for receiving a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) Service on a computing device, comprising:
- receiving a list of Temporary Mobile Group Identifiers (TMGIs) for broadcast services in a network on a computing device, wherein each TMGI on the list of TMGIs is generated through a combination of each MBMS Service ID with a core network (CN) agnostic public land mobile network (PLMN) ID, and wherein the CN agnostic PLMN ID includes a shared mobile country code (MCC) value and/or a shared mobile network code (MNC) value that does not identify any specific CN;
- determining, in the computing device, whether any of the TMGIs on the list correspond to any receive-only mode (ROM) services supported by the computing device based at least in part on any of the TMGIs being within ranges allocated to the ROM services supported by the computing device;
- and
- acquiring at least one of the ROM services supported by the computing device in response to determining that any of the TMGIs on the list correspond to any of the ROM services supported by the computing device.
