Abstract: Methods and systems for provisioning content streaming service are provided. An example method includes dividing a network associated with a multi-dwelling unit (MDU) having multiple zones within the MDU into multiple network segments respectively corresponding to the multiple zones, dividing a content resource provided by the MDU into multiple segments respectively corresponding to the multiple network segments. Each segment of the content resource includes content items specific to the corresponding network segment based on a predetermined network policy. The method further includes receiving a request from a user equipment (UE) for access to a content item of the content resource, determining that the UE is associated with one of the network segments and that the requested content item is included in the segment of content resource specific to the network segment, and granting the access to the content item to the UE.

Abstract: A content selector switch selects, based on a received request for content from a particular remote control device, a multicast network on which to provide the requested particular content. Each multicast network channel of the plurality of multicast network channels is mapped to a respective video channel and each remote control device in the facility (e.g., hotel) is mapped to a respective video channel that the TV controlled by the remote control device stays tuned to. The content selector switch performs the selection by identifying which remote control device in the facility sent the request and selecting the multicast network channel that is mapped to the RF video channel the identified remote control device is mapped to. The content selector switch then provides the specific content on the selected multicast network channel to a multicast-to-channel output device that provides the content on the RF video channel for the TV tuned to that RF video channel to display.

Abstract: Methods and systems for provisioning content streaming service are provided. In one example, a method includes: receiving a user request for streaming a content item from a user equipment (UE) connected to a first network segment corresponding to a first zone of a multi-dwelling unit (MDU), the user request including a first network identifier assigned to the first network segment and a user identity associated with the user, identifying the first network segment based on the first network identifier assigned to the first network segment, determining accessibility of the content item to the user, based on a pre-established network policy, performing an authentication process to authenticate the user based on the user identity associated with the user, and transmitting the requested content item to the UE via a routed network traffic over the first network segment to allow the UE to stream the requested content.
