Abstract
A system, method, and wireless device for dynamically selecting a wireless information communication mode for wireless communication of information to at least one wireless device (104). The method includes receiving at least one request for wireless communication of information to at least one wireless device (104). The method further comprises selecting, based at least in part on a total number of wireless devices to receive the wireless communication of information, a mode of wireless communication of information to the at least one wireless device (104). The mode of wireless communication being selected from at least one of a wireless information broadcast communication mode, a wireless information multicast communication mode, and a wireless information unicast communication mode. The at least one wireless device (104) is wireless notified to set its current wireless communication mode to the selected mode of wireless communication to receive the wireless communication of the information.
