Abstract
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus transmits broadcast information in a first broadcast resource from a first set of broadcast resources. In addition, the apparatus determines based on the broadcast information a need for a second broadcast resource from a second set of broadcast resources. Furthermore, the apparatus selects the second broadcast resource based on a priority associated with the first broadcast resource.
Claims48
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting broadcast information in a first broadcast resource from a first set of broadcast resources;
- determining based on the broadcast information a need for a second broadcast resource from a second set of broadcast resources;
- and
- selecting the second broadcast resource based on a priority associated with the first broadcast resource.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for transmitting broadcast information in a first broadcast resource from a first set of broadcast resources;
- means for determining based on the broadcast information a need for a second broadcast resource from a second set of broadcast resources;
- and
- means for selecting the second broadcast resource based on a priority associated with the first broadcast resource.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processing system configured to:
- transmit broadcast information in a first broadcast resource from a first set of broadcast resources;
- determine based on the broadcast information a need for a second broadcast resource from a second set of broadcast resources;
- and
- select the second broadcast resource based on a priority associated with the first broadcast resource.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code for:
- transmitting broadcast information in a first broadcast resource from a first set of broadcast resources;
- determining based on the broadcast information a need for a second broadcast resource from a second set of broadcast resources;
- and
- selecting the second broadcast resource based on a priority associated with the first broadcast resource.
