Multiple network access system and method
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting a multimedia broadcast service by a base station, the method comprising:
- establishing a connection with a mobile device via a first frequency associated with a bidirectional network;
transmitting, via the first frequency, information associated with a unidirectional network, wherein the information includes resource information associated with a broadcast event;
broadcasting, via the first frequency and on a resource indicated by the resource information, data associated with the broadcast event; and
transmitting, via the first frequency, data on a resource other than the resource indicated by the resource information.

Abstract
Methods and devices for operating a wireless communication device that can communicate with at least two different wireless networks using a single radio frequency modem are described. The communication device attaches to a first wireless network through the radio frequency (RF) modem, and then detaches from the first wireless network at a predetermined time before a start time of a selected event on a second wireless network. The device attaches to the second wireless network using the same RF modem before the start time of the selected event and collects at least a portion of event data associated with the selected event. After collecting at least a portion of event data, the device detaches from the second wireless network and re-attaches to the first wireless network.
