1. A method of operating a base station, the method comprising:
- a plurality of time diversity intervals including one or more frames;
designating at least one of a plurality of data regions of a first frame in a first time diversity interval as a first broadcast data region;
inserting, into the first broadcast data region a map, the map comprising information to identify a second broadcast data region of a second frame in a subsequent second time diversity interval, wherein the second broadcast data region includes only Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) data, and wherein the map is periodically located in the first time diversity interval but not in every frame of the first time diversity interval; and
transmitting the plurality of data regions to one or more client stations using macrodiversity in synchronicity with at least one other base station.

Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein provides a network entry and recovery mechanism using a map. In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may insert a plurality of packets into a plurality of data regions. A map may be inserted into one of the data regions. The map may include information to enable decoding of the plurality of data regions, a location of other maps within the plurality of data regions, and a size of the map. The plurality of data regions may be provided to enable the plurality of data regions to be transmitted to one or more client stations. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

11. A method of operating a client station, the method comprising:
-
receiving one or more frames in a plurality of time diversity intervals using macrodiversity in synchronicity with at least one other base station; receiving a frame in a first time diversity interval comprising a first plurality of data regions comprising a first broadcast data region comprising a map, wherein the map is periodically located in the first time diversity interval but not in every frame of the first time diversity interval; receiving a second frame in a subsequent second time diversity interval comprising a second plurality of data regions comprising a second broadcast data region, wherein the second broadcast data region includes only Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) data; and identifying the second broadcast data region of the second plurality of data regions of the second frame using the map. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of operating a base station, the method comprising:
-
inserting a plurality of packets into a plurality of data regions; inserting, into one of the data regions of the plurality of data regions, a message including a common message and one or more stream messages identified by a stream identifier (ID), wherein the common message may store a pointer for the one or more stream messages describing a length of each stream message in conjunction with the stream ID such that the common message associated with the one or more stream messages enables accessing one of the stream messages by accessing the common message without accessing the other stream messages; and transmitting the one data region including the message for transmission to one or more client stations, wherein a location of a particular stream message can be determined by adding up the lengths of the common message and the stream messages occurring prior to the particular stream message. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
