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 of one or more broadcast services based at least in part on that broadcast service's service type;
- combining each MBMS Service ID with a public land mobile network (PLMN) ID to generate a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier (TMGI) for each respective broadcast service;
- and
- broadcasting each respective broadcast service with the generated TMGI for that broadcast service.
