A communication technique includes broadcasting a signal that indicates at least a plurality of protocols supported by the device that broadcasts the signal. In a disclosed example, the device that broadcasts the signal is also capable of receiving broadcast signals from other devices. In one example, the broadcasting device is a mobile station while in another example the broadcasting device is a base station. Devices that receive the broadcast signal can then establish a communication connection using one of the indicated protocols when desired. Disclosed examples include broadcast signals indicating available protocols for mobile station-to-mobile station communications, base station-to-base station communications and communications between mobile stations and base stations.
