The disclosure relates to conveying state changes from an advertising node to one or more discovering nodes, wherein the advertising node may convey the state changes using small efficient low-level broadcast or multicast advertisements to trigger delivering larger structured data in a manner that may be conceptually similar to broadcasting or multicasting but actually delivered using point-to-point or other delivery mechanisms that may be more efficient and reliable. In particular, the advertising node may the convey state changes using broadcast messaging and a store-and-forward cache in a manner that removes bandwidth and/or size constraints that networks impose on multicast/broadcast datagrams while preserving benefits associated therewith.

The disclosure relates to a low-power co-processor subsystem that can optimize power consumption in a wireless service platform having a main wireless application datapath, wherein the low-power co-processor subsystem may offload certain service discovery tasks from the main wireless application datapath (e.g., such that components residing therein can transition to a low-power state). For example, the service discovery tasks offloaded to the low-power co-processor subsystem may be determined according to protocol-specific service descriptions associated with one or more services to be provided and/or consumed at a wireless device. Furthermore, rules to wake the components in the main wireless application datapath may be dynamically defined and redefined or otherwise tuned to maximize the time that the components in the main wireless application datapath can spend in the low-power state and to determine conditions under which to selectively wake the components in the main wireless application datapath as needed.
