  • Publication number: 20140254466
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for broadcasting messages of different packet formats in interleaving fashions, wherein a transmitter may broadcast a first packet in a first format configured to be well-suited for a first software implementation of a receiver and broadcast a second packet in a second format that is associated with a second software implementation (e.g., firmware, application, etc.). The receiver may receive and process the first packet to detect information that indicates the presence of messages of the second packet type, adjust the receiver (i.e., change a behavior of the second software implementation) in response to detecting information, receive and process the second packet via the second software implementation, and perform an action based on the processed second packet. In some embodiments, the first and/or second messages may include portions of data that may be combined by the receiver.
