Abstract
An apparatus for broadcasting packet data to a first wireless mobile station in a wireless network. The apparatus comprises: 1) a first broadcast controller for receiving from the first mobile station a first broadcast registration request associated with a first content server; and 2) a signaling controller capable, in response to commands from the first broadcast controller, of establishing a network communication link with, and receiving broadcast data packets from, the first content server. The signaling controller further notifies a second base station that the first base station is a broadcast center associated with the broadcast data packets from the first content server.
