    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a field of view (FoV) within a first frame of a video that occupies a sub-portion of the frame. A size is determined by subdividing a portion of the video according to a tiling scenario. Tiles overlapping the FoV are detected, and an updated size is determined based on an encoded version of the tiles and compared to a reference size. Responsive to the updated size being less than the reference size, the reference size is adjusted to the updated size, the tiling scenario is adjusted according to an adjusted tiling scenario, and the determining of the size is repeated based on the adjusted tiling scenario. Responsive to the updated size not being less than the reference size, a preferred tiling scenario is identified based on the adjusted tiling scenario for tiling the video. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising determining whether a skippable advertisement is being streamed preceding a requested video; responsive to determining that the skippable advertisement is being streamed, initiating a skippable advertisement procedure, wherein the skippable advertisement procedure comprises streaming a first portion of the skippable advertisement without imposing constraints and streaming a second portion of the skippable advertisement imposing constraints; responsive to receiving a request to skip the skippable advertisement, ceasing the streaming the second portion of the skippable advertisement and initiating streaming of the requested video without imposing constraints. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: A processing system of a mobile device may determine the device's predicted viewport, which defines a portion of a real world environment that is expected to be visible to the device's user at a future time. The processing system may determine a set of extended reality anchors that are present in the real world environment, where each anchor stores a digital object that, when rendered by the device and presented to the user simultaneously with the real world environment, creates extended reality media. The processing system may remove a first subset anchors from the set, where locations of anchors in the first subset fall outside a threshold distance from the predicted viewport. The removing results in a second subset of anchors remaining in the set. The processing system may download a digital object from a second device, where the digital object is stored by an anchor of the second subset.

    Abstract: In one example, a processing system including at least one processor may obtain viewport information of a mobile computing device associated with a panoramic video, map the viewport information to a plurality of blocks of a frame of the panoramic video in accordance with a cube map projection of the frame, encode the plurality of blocks into a projected frame, and transmit the projected frame to the mobile computing device. In another example, a processing system of a mobile computing device including at least one processor may obtain viewport information of the device associated with a panoramic video, transmit to a server the viewport information, obtain from the server a projected frame of the panoramic video comprising a plurality of blocks of a frame of the panoramic video that are associated with the viewport information in accordance with a cube map projection of the frame, and buffer the projected frame.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, presenting a first virtual object in accordance with a first context associated with a first user engaged in a communication session via a first application, presenting a second virtual object in accordance with a second context associated with a second user engaged in the communication session via a second application, identifying a conflict between the presenting of the first virtual object and the presenting of the second virtual object, a presenting of a physical object, or a combination thereof, and responsive to the identifying of the conflict, modifying the first virtual object, the second virtual object, or a combination thereof. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Systems, computer-readable media, and methods are disclosed for parallel data processing for service function chains with network functions spanning multiple servers. An example system includes a first server hosting a first network function of a service function chain, a second server hosting a second network function of the service function chain, a mirror function deployed in a first switch to replicate a plurality of packets received by the system and to send respective copies of the plurality of packets to the first network function and to at least one of the second network function and a third network function of the service function chain, and a merge function deployed in a second switch to merge respective outputs of the first network function and the at least one of the second network function and the third network function.
