Abstract  Abstract

Group size indications may be distributed from a base station to a mobile station in the form of assignment-advanced-MAP transmit control signaling. The signaling control information may be sent to a station such as a mobile station using a table that indicates the size of a group based on coding rates such as one-half and one-quarter coding rates. Waste may be controlled by determining a size based on using an unoccupied resource in a group that is adjacent to data resource for data transmission by the station. However an unoccupied resource in a group that is not adjacent to a data resource is not used for data transmission and is therefore wasted.

A method system apparatus and article are described for managing enhanced multicast broadcast services. In some embodiments for example a first connection may be established using a first wireless communication protocol scheduling information for one or more multicast or broadcast data services may be received using the first wireless communication protocol one or more of the multicast or broadcast data services may be selected and a second connection using a second wireless communication protocol may be established to receive the one or more selected multicast or broadcast data services. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
