Abstract
A wireless communication network capable of providing Enhanced Multi-Broadcast Service (EMBS) to a plurality of subscriber stations. At least one base station in the network transmits a downlink frame to the plurality of subscriber stations. The downlink frame includes an EMBS MAP configured to identify locations of EMBS data bursts. The downlink frame also includes a security and data multiplexing burst and EMBS data burst. A number of the subscriber stations are configured to decode the EMBS MAP to determine the locations of a number of EMBS data burst in a number of subsequent downlink frames.
Claims23
For use in a wireless communications network, a subscriber station capable of multi-broadcast service, said subscriber station comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a downlink frame, the downlink frame comprising:
- an enhanced multi-broadcast service map located in an enhanced multi-broadcast service subframe;
- a Security and Data Multiplexing (SDM) burst area, the SMD burst area adapted to carry security information;
- and
- a plurality of multi-broadcast data bursts,
- wherein the receiver is configured to decode the enhanced multi-broadcast service map to identify locations of at least one of the plurality of enhanced multi-broadcast data bursts.
A wireless communication network comprising a plurality of base stations, at least one of the base stations capable of providing enhanced multi-broadcast service to a plurality of subscriber stations, the at least one base station comprising:
- a transmitter configured to send a downlink frame, the downlink frame comprising:
- an enhanced multi-broadcast service map located in an enhanced multi-broadcast service subframe of the downlink frame, the enhanced multi-broadcast service map configured to identify locations of at least one enhanced multi-broadcast data bursts;
- a Security and Data Multiplexing (SDM) burst area, the SDM burst area adapted to carry security information;
- and
- a plurality of multi-broadcast data bursts.
For use in a wireless communication network capable of communicating with a plurality of subscriber stations, a method of providing enhanced multi-broadcast service, the method comprising:
- transmitting a downlink frame, the downlink frame comprising:
- an enhanced multi-broadcast service map located in an enhanced multi-broadcast service subframe of the downlink frame, the enhanced multi-broadcast service map configured to identify locations of at least one enhanced multi-broadcast data bursts;
- a Security and Data Multiplexing (SDM) burst area, the SDM burst area adapted to carry security information;
- and
- a plurality of multi-broadcast data bursts.
