Transparent broadcast services for a multi-mode wireless device
First Claim
1. A wireless device comprising:
- a first module operable to process a first broadcast message for a first wireless communication system in accordance with parameters of the first broadcast message;
a second module operable to process a second broadcast message for a second wireless communication system in accordance with parameters of the second broadcast message; and
a third module operable to map the parameters of the first and second broadcast messages to corresponding parameters in a set of parameters defined for broadcast services.

Abstract
To provide “transparent” broadcast services for a multi-mode wireless device capable of communicating with multiple wireless communication networks, a composite set of pertinent parameters for broadcast messages used by the multiple networks is defined. The parameters of the broadcast message for each network are mapped to corresponding parameters in the composite set. The composite set of parameters is used for processing and displaying broadcast messages received from the multiple networks. A broadcast message for each network (e.g., a CBS message in GSM or a broadcast SMS message in CDMA) is received and processed in accordance with the parameters of the message and filtering configurations applicable for the network. The parameters of the broadcast message are mapped to corresponding parameters in the composite set. The broadcast message is further processed and displayed based on the parameters in the composite set.
