摘要:
The described apparatus and methods define a predetermined scheme or syntax for an application-specific Universal Resource Identifier (URI) operable to deep link to a specified point, portion, or view of a target client application executable on a wireless device. Accordingly, the described application-specific URI can be used to deep link from one point to another in the same client application, or to deep link from one client application to another client application.

Methods and apparatus for RF channel switching in a multi-frequency network. In an aspect, a method includes identifying a multiplex set that comprises one or more content flows, wherein the multiplex set is one of a vertical multiplex (VM) set and a unified multiplex (UM) set, generating an overhead message that associates one or more RF carrier frequencies with the one or more content flows, and transmitting the overhead message over the multi-frequency network.

Methods and apparatus for distributing and acquiring overhead flow data in a multi-frequency network. In an aspect, a method includes generating initial acquisition flows (IAFs) that describe how content multiplexes are distributed in the multi-frequency network and provide flow identifiers for overhead flows associated with the content multiplexes, and transmitting the IAFs on pre-assigned flow identifiers.
