摘要:
A content delivery system comprises at least one content server that servers a number of client requests. The content server uses a Threshold-Based Normalized Rate Earliest Delivery First (TB-NREDF) scheduler. The TB-NREDF scheduler imposes a threshold value, or limit, on the number of rescheduling requests.

Apparatus and methods for information transfer using a cache server are disclosed. A user requests a file via a file requesting device, over a network, from a host. The host transfers the file to a cache server over a connection at a first scheduled time. The cache server then transfers the file, over a second network, to a file receiving device at a second scheduled time.

摘要:
A method for performing centralized scheduling of content delivery is described including performing admission control, locating a server that is a source of content, determining a content delivery schedule and reordering the content delivery schedule over a content delivery network (CDN). Also described is a method for performing admission control including reordering a request queue based on partially served committed requests for content and newly arrived requests for content and determining if the newly arrived request for content can be admitted to the request queue.
摘要:
There is provided a method for managing the downloading and display of a video program using a mobile device in an networking environment that includes a first radio access network and a second radio access network that has a faster transfer rate than the first network. A layer of video program that has been encoded into multiple layers is downloaded via the first or second network. The downloaded video program is displayed at a playback rate that corresponds to a display quality. Excess portion of the downloaded video program that result when a rate at which the video program is displayed are buffered. The number of layers being downloaded and the playback rate at which the video program is displayed are increased to increase the display quality, when the buffered excess portions exceeds a threshold level.

Apparatus and method for delayed network information transfer are disclosed. A user requests a file via a file requesting device, over a network, from a server. That request is accompanied by an expected delivery time of the file to the user. A schedule is generated by the server for transfer of the file according to a scheduled time, which scheduled time is determined in part at least by the expected delivery time. At the scheduled time, the file is then transmitted by the server to a file receiving device.
