Abstract:
A method includes concurrently receiving, at a first communication interface of a media device, a first media content stream and a second media content stream. The method includes sending, from the media device to an output device, decoded first media content processed from the first media content stream. The method includes storing decoded second media content processed from the second media content stream in a buffer. The method includes detecting an error associated with a portion of the second media content stream during receipt of the first media content stream and the second media content stream. The method also includes sending, from a second communication interface of the media device to a media content source, a request for the portion. The second communication interface is distinct from the first communication interface.

Abstract:
A method includes receiving a first media content item at a media device via a first communications interface. The method also includes receiving, while outputting the first media content item from the media device, at least a first portion of a second media content item at the media device via the first communications interface. The method further includes detecting an error associated with a second portion of the second media content item that is different than the first portion of the second media content item. The method also includes sending a request for the second portion of the second media content item via a second communications interface of the media device.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving first measurement data from a first device. The first device may be a first element of a communication path. The first measurement data may correspond to a first measured parameter associated with performance of the communication path. The method further includes receiving second measurement data from a second device. The second device may be a second element of the communication path. The second measurement data may correspond to a second measured parameter (distinct from the first measured parameter) associated with performance of the communication path. The method further includes determining a first service quality index value corresponding to performance of the communication path based on the first measurement data and the second measurement data.
Abstract:
The disclosure is generally directed to a system and method of measuring transport utilization of data that is to be multiplexed and transmitted over a digital transport facility. In a particular embodiment, the system includes a traffic management reporting device to provide a report including performance information. The performance information is determined based on a count of stuff bits included in a user data frame having a fixed size payload.

Abstract:
A device is disclosed including a memory configured to store a user data frame. The user data frame includes a first portion that includes traffic data. The user data frame also includes a second portion that includes a set of stuff bits arranged in a detectible pattern wherein a count of the set of stuff bits is associated with a measure of transport utilization of a data communication channel over which the user data frame is transported.
Abstract:
A particular method includes receiving first data indicating a measured strength of an ambient electromagnetic signal in a particular frequency range during a particular time period and at a particular location. The method also includes receiving second data indicating a bit loading within a portion of a wireline network in the particular frequency range during the particular time period. The portion of the wireline network provides service within a service area proximate to the particular location. The method also includes determining a correlation of changes in the second data during the particular time period to changes in the first data during the particular time period. The method further includes identifying at least one issue associated with the wireline network based on the correlation.
