Abstract
Method and apparatus for providing a broadcast system parameter message in a wireless communication system supporting a broadcast service. In one embodiment, the message identifies a service option number corresponding to a set of broadcast parameters. In an alternate embodiment, the message identifies a block of bytes corresponding to broadcast parameters. The message may be transmitted on a channel for transmitting overhead information. For a system supporting a broadcast service, the message identifies a protocol stack for processing broadcast content.
