Abstract
Devices, methods, and/or systems for broadcasting in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A STA receives a frame from a wireless access point (AP) which includes an indication that an enhanced broadcast service (eBCS) service is ending. The frame may include an end-of-broadcast-service announcement information element, and/or an indication of a time at which the eBCS service is ending. The STA may negotiate with the AP for continuation of the broadcast service if the STA desires to continue receiving the eBCS service beyond the time at which the eBCS service ends. The STA may receive a trigger frame from the AP which triggers a response from the STA indicating that it desires to continue receiving the eBCS service beyond the time at which the eBCS service ends.
