System, method and computer program product for receiving data from a satellite radio network
First Claim
1. A method for receiving data from a satellite radio network, comprising:
- a) receiving a datagram broadcast via a satellite radio network utilizing a receiver, wherein the datagram includes broadcast identifier information that identifies a predetermined segment of receivers in the satellite radio network to which the datagram is directed wherein the broadcast identifier information of the datagram is compared with locally stored identifier information of recipient receiver to determine if the recipient receiver is a member of the identified segment of receivers to which the datagram is directed;
b) determining if the recipient receiver is a member of the identified segment of receivers to which the datagram is directed utilizing the broadcast identifier information; and
c) processing the datagram if the recipient receiver is determined to be a member of the identified segment of receivers to which the datagram is directed.
