Scheduling Of Software Package Transmissions On A Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Channel

摘要

A computing device may schedule transmission of software packages on a broadcast/multicast downlink channel. The schedule may also include media transmissions on the channel, and the software package transmissions may be scheduled for times when the media transmissions are using less than or equal to a threshold capacity level of the channel. A software update request may be received from a wireless computing device. Possibly in response to receiving the software update request, a particular software package related to the wireless computing device may be determined. The particular software package may be scheduled to begin transmission on the channel at a particular time. At least an identifier of the channel and the particular time may be transmitted to the wireless computing device.
