Method for Broadcast Service Signaling

A receiver device, comprising:

• a processor, the processor configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations to:
• receive a low level signaling (LLS) table via a broadcast transmission;
• determine whether the received LLS table is a directory table identifying each of a complete set of LLS tables and including an LLS table count field, an LLS table identifier field, and an LLS table version, wherein the LLS table count field identifies a number of LLS tables;
• determine the directory table in response to determining the LLS table is a directory table;
• determine whether the directory table is confirmed based at least in part on a digital signature in the directory table;
• determine whether a complete set of LLS tables is received based at least in part on the identification of each of the complete set of LLS tables in the directory table in response to determining that the directory table is confirmed;
• and
• determine available services based at least in part on the complete set of LLS tables before an expiration a repetition time period after receiving the directory table in response to determining that the complete set of LLS tables is received.

A receiver device, comprising:

• means for receiving a low level signaling (LLS) table via a broadcast transmission;
• means for determining whether the received LLS table is a directory table identifying each of a complete set of LLS tables and including an LLS table count field, an LLS table identifier field, and an LLS table version, wherein the LLS table count field identifies a number of LLS tables;
• means for parsing the directory table in response to determining the LLS table is a directory table;
• means for determining whether the directory table is confirmed based at least in part on a digital signature in the directory table;
• means for determining whether a complete set of LLS tables is received based at least in part on the identification of each of the complete set of LLS tables in the directory table in response to determining that the directory table is confirmed;
• and
• means for determining available services based at least in part on the complete set of LLS tables before an expiration a repetition time period after receiving the directory table in response to determining that the complete set of LLS tables is received.

A non-transitory processor readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor of a receiver device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a low level signaling (LLS) table via a broadcast transmission;
• determining whether the received LLS table is a directory table identifying each of a complete set of LLS tables and including an LLS table count field, an LLS table identifier field, and an LLS table version, wherein the LLS table count field identifies a number of LLS tables;
• determining the directory table in response to determining the LLS table is a directory table;
• determining whether the directory table is confirmed based at least in part on a digital signature in the directory table;
• determining whether a complete set of LLS tables is received based at least in part on the identification of each of the complete set of LLS tables in the directory table in response to determining that the directory table is confirmed;
• and
• determining available services based at least in part on the complete set of LLS tables before an expiration a repetition time period after receiving the directory table in response to determining that the complete set of LLS tables is received.
