Abstract

A message may be too long to be sent all at once. For example, there may be a limit on the number of bits that can be transmitted by a device operating in a power-save mode. The disclosure relates in some aspects to sending a message over packet boundaries (e.g., several frames or sub-frames). The disclosure relates in some aspects to segmenting a Broadcast Information Block and sending the resulting segments over broadcast information window boundaries. In some aspects, this information may be sent via overhead channels. To facilitate this segmentation, information about the segmentation may be included in the information sent from the transmitter to the receiver. For example, a first segment may indicate the number of segments and subsequent segments may indicate the segment number.
