Signaling and management of broadcast-multicast waveform embedded in a unicast waveform

摘要

Embodiments describe overlaying a broadcast multicast channel on top of a unicast network. Messages can be generated by protocols in a broadcast/multicast (BCMC) stack and tunneled through an IRTP of a serving access node. These messages can be transmitted on a BCMC channel and/or a unicast channel. Other messages can be generated by protocols in a unicast stack and tunneled to a B-IRTP of a BCMC Access node and transmitted on a BCMC channel to an access terminal.

1. A method for tunneling out of band signaling of a broadcast-multicast waveform over a unicast waveform, comprising:
generating a message through protocols in a broadcast/multicast (BCMC) stack; and transmitting the message over a unicast waveform for rendering on a mobile device.
