Abstract
In a method of receiving signaling information in a communication network supporting a broadcast-multicast service, a first channel containing at least one indicator related to signaling information for a broadcast-multicast service is decoded to determine whether to monitor a second channel for the signaling information.
Claims12
A method of receiving signaling information in a communication network supporting a broadcast-multicast service, comprising:
- decoding a first channel containing at least one indicator related to signaling information for a broadcast-multicast service to determine whether to monitor a second channel for the signaling information.
A method of receiving signaling information at a group of users in a communication network supporting a broadcast-multicast service, comprising:
- decoding a first channel containing at least one indicator mapped to signaling information for enabling unique flow identification for a given broadcast-multicast service content flow subscribed to by one or more users of the group, to determine whether to monitor a second channel for the signaling information.
