Abstract
As disclosed herein, there are one or more methods, systems, and/or devices relating to enhanced broadcast services and network optimization. In one example, a wireless network node may send a consumed service discovery request to a station (STA) via an access network query protocol (ANQP), wherein the STA is not associated with the network node. The network node may receive a consumed service discovery response including a set of service IDs and a BSSID of an access point (AP) for each service ID in the set of service IDs, wherein each service ID of the set of service IDs is a service consumed by the STA. In some cases, the consumed services are enhanced broadcast services (eBCS), the request is an ANQP query encapsulated in a GAS broadcast message, and/or request is an ANQP query encapsulated in a GAS groupcast message or a GAS unicast message.
