In some embodiments, only one multicast connection identifier is used in a WiMAX network per zone. This may result in power savings because it is not necessary for the mobile station to query a base station to obtain the correct information about how to locate desired channels in a WiMAX multicast. Instead, the mobile station may be maintained in a lower power consumption mode in which it need not transmit, but only receives information. This is because the mobile station has all the information it needs about what channels are available and can simply tune using a logical media channel identifier to the appropriate channel to receive the desired content without having to transmit a message to the base station to identify the correct channel. |
