Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a connection is initiated to an adaptive bit rate (ABR) content delivery network delivering ABR data streams at different bit rates. A manifest associated with the network includes a profile of each data stream and its associated bit rate. The method also includes requesting delivery of content and downloading the content. If the download speed is greater than the delivery bit rate, the manifest is queried for a higher bit rate. If a higher bit rate is not available, a recommendation is received from the content delivery network to obtain additional content via an alternate content stream delivered by a second network. The method further includes selecting the profile for the alternate content stream from the manifest, and receiving the alternate content stream from the second network in accordance with the selecting. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: An architecture is provided that can scale content resolution in order to mitigate errors in a provisioned service of a communication network, such as a wireless service or a femtocell service that integrates with DSL or other broadband carriers. The architecture can identify fault conditions relating to e.g., bandwidth oversubscription or symbolization integrity. Based upon such identification, the architecture can alter encoding format codecs of certain types of content in order to reduce their resolution/quality, thereby mitigating bandwidth oversubscription fault conditions or freeing up space (without necessarily increasing bandwidth) to insert additional FEC code.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种架构，其可以缩放内容分辨率，以便减轻与DSL或其他宽带载波集成的通信网络（例如无线服务或毫微微小区服务）的配置服务中的错误。 该架构可以识别与例如带宽超额订阅或符号化完整性有关的故障状况。 基于这种识别，架构可以改变某些类型的内容的编码格式编解码器，以便降低它们的分辨率/质量，从而减轻带宽过量订阅故障条件或释放空间（不一定增加带宽）以插入附加FEC码。
