A decodable indicia reading system can comprise a mobile communication terminal and a removable scanning module. The solution includes selecting, by a node capable of entering a device-to-device communication network, a channel for broadcasting wherein the selection is based on at least one of the following: the characteristics of the node and the state of the node; and causing a broadcast of information related to at least part of the properties of the node on the selected channel. The average playout delay is the running average of the playout delay calculated for each packet as each packet becomes available.
