A device may be configured to parse a syntax element specifying the number of available languages within a presentation associated with an audio stream. A device may be configured to parse one or more syntax elements identifying each of the available languages and parse an accessibility syntax element for each language within the presentation.

A method for managing wireless device communications including establishing active, persistent, and repetitive communications with a wireless device operating in a coverage area of a local wireless network. In an example, the local wireless network is an overlay to a portion of a macro wireless network. The repetitive communications include placing a call to the wireless device, completing a call connection to the wireless device, sending a message to the wireless device, receiving and processing a response to the message from the wireless device, and persistently repeating a call function of the placing a call, completing a connection, sending a response, and receiving and processing the response until a specified termination event. In an example, the termination event is a power off of the wireless device.

A portable shield includes a protective shield and a handle attached to the protective shield for holding and carrying the portable shield from a first side of the protective shield. The portable shield further includes a battery and a display element powered by the battery. The display is configured for electronically displaying an instructional message that is visible from a second side of the protective shield at a distance, wherein the second side is opposite the first side. The portable shield further includes electronic circuitry powered by the battery that is configured for selectively displaying the instructional message on the display element. In some examples, the portable shield may wirelessly receive information regarding the instructional message from a base station along with other instances of the portable shield.

A network node obtains a message to be transmitted as a public warning system notification to multiple UEs, via one or more SIBs, and obtains area information corresponding to the message. The area information indicates an area for which the message is relevant. The network node determines how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information and segments the message into a plurality of segments, based on how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information. The network node transmits the message and the area information via SIBs, such that a segment of the message is included in each SIB and such that each portion of the area information included in a SIB is accompanied by a segment of the message. A UE receives the SIBs and assembles the message and area information, displaying the message if it is relevant.

Systems and methods are described herein for presenting additional information related to an emergency alert. A media guidance application may detect that a new emergency alert has been received. The media guidance application may then perform a search of various content sources (e.g., program listings, the Internet, etc.) for content related to the emergency alert. The media guidance application may then present the search results in a contextual menu enabling the user to access content of the search results. The media guidance application may also provide more options, such as, recording or pausing media content that the user was in the process of consuming when the emergency alert was generated, and an option to the user not to bring up the contextual menu again if the same emergency alert is repeated.
