Network entry and recovery

摘要

The subject matter disclosed herein provides a network entry and recovery mechanism using a map. In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may insert a plurality of packets into a plurality of data regions. A map may be inserted into one of the data regions. The map may include information to enable decoding of the plurality of data regions, a location of other maps within the plurality of data regions, and a size of the map. The plurality of data regions may be provided to enable the plurality of data regions to be transmitted to one or more client stations. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

1. A method of operating a base station, the method comprising:
a plurality of time diversity intervals including one or more frames; designating at least one of a plurality of data regions of a first frame in a first time diversity interval as a first broadcast data region; inserting, into the first broadcast data region a map, the map comprising information to identify a second broadcast data region of a second frame in a subsequent second time diversity interval, wherein the second broadcast data region includes only Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) data, and wherein the map is periodically located in the first time diversity interval but not in every frame of the first time diversity interval; and transmitting the plurality of data regions to one or more client stations using macrodiversity in synchronicity with at least one other base station.
