Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing a mechanism that may be used to flexibly and efficiently signal spatial reuse (SR) and/or transmit opportunity (TXOP) duration information.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. In some aspects, a mobile device may receive configuration information, associated with configuring a state of the mobile device, via a unicast transmission, and may access a header-compressed broadcast transmission using the configuration information received via the unicast transmission. In some aspects, a network entity may transmit configuration information, to facilitate decompression of a header-compressed broadcast transmission, via a unicast transmission to a mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices, and may transmit the header-compressed broadcast transmission to the plurality of mobile devices in accordance with the configuration information.

A method and system for demultiplexing packets of a message is provided.

The demultiplexing system receives packets of a message, identifies a sequence of message handlers for processing the message, identifies state information associated with the message for each message handler, and invokes the message handlers passing the message and the associated state information. The system identifies the message handlers based on the initial data type of the message and a target data type. The identified message handlers effect the conversion of the data to the target data type through various intermediate data types.
