Abstract:
Various embodiments for delivering application content signaling information to a receiver device may include a server generating a metadata fragment for application content items of an application to be acquired by a receiver device, adding to the metadata fragment a first set of attributes including a list of other linear services that use the application content items described by the metadata fragment, and transmitting the metadata fragment to the receiver device. The first set of attributes further may include an application launch page or launch file indicator for the application and/or an indication of required capabilities for rendering the application and its associated one or more application content items. The first set of attributes further may include a start time and an end time for at least one distribution window for the application, the distribution window may be associated with information about auxiliary application content delivered during the distribution window.
Abstract:
An example method of rendering media content includes receiving, at a client application executing on a computing device, streaming media content. The method also includes identifying a plurality of tracks associated with the media content. The plurality of tracks includes a DOM track specifying one or more user interface (UI) events to execute at a set of time intervals, and the set of time intervals corresponds to a timeline in accordance with the streaming media content. The method further includes rendering the DOM track in accordance with the timeline of the streaming media content.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for determining position location information in a wireless network. In one embodiment, timing offset information is communicated between multiple transmitters and one or more receivers. Such information enables accurate position or location determinations to be made that account for timing differences throughout the network. In another embodiment, transmitter phase adjustments are made that advance or delay transmissions from the transmitters to account for potential timing differences at receivers. In yet another embodiment, combinations of timing offset communications and/or transmitter phase adjustments can be employed in the wireless network to facilitate position location determinations.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a user service description (USD) message. When a frequency indicated in the USD message is not a current frequency, the apparatus determines that a system information message is received, determines that the frequency indicated in the USD message is included in the system information message, determines that the frequency is a neighboring cell frequency, sets a priority of the frequency to a highest priority, and measures a signal strength of the frequency when the frequency is included in the system information message, performs a cell reselection determination procedure based on the signal strength of the frequency, performs cell reselection to the neighboring cell based on a result of the cell reselection determination procedure, and acquires the multicast service in the neighboring cell on the frequency.
Abstract:
An Encoder Assisted Frame Rate Up Conversion (EA-FRUC) system that utilizes video coding and pre-processing operations at the video encoder to exploit the FRUC processing that will occur in the decoder in order to improve compression efficiency and reconstructed video quality is disclosed. One operation of the EA-FRUC system involves determining whether to encode a frame in a sequence of frames of a video content by determining a spatial activity in a frame of the sequence of frames; determining a temporal activity in the frame; determining a spatio-temporal activity in the frame based on the determined spatial activity and the determined temporal activity; determining a level of a redundancy in the source frame based on at least one of the determined spatial activity, the determined temporal activity, and the determined spatio-temporal activity; and, encoding the non-redundant information in the frame if the determined redundancy is within predetermined thresholds.
Abstract:
In one example, a device includes one or more media decoders configured to decode media data, a network interface configured to receive a layered coding transport (LCT) Session Instance Description (LSID), the LSID including information representing a plurality of LCT sessions, each of the LCT sessions including data of a respective one of a plurality of representations of a DASH media presentation and data of one or more of the LCT sessions, and a processor configured to initiate consumption of one or more of the representations of the DASH media presentation using the LSID and without using a manifest file for the DASH media presentation, wherein to initiate consumption, the processor is configured to receive, via the network interface, packets of the LCT sessions including portions of data of the one or more of the representations; and provide data of the packets to the one or more media decoders.
Abstract:
A device for encoding and sending media data includes a scheduler unit that schedules transmission of media data, a media encoder, and a transmitter that transmits according to a schedule formed by the scheduler unit. The scheduler unit sends a first set of data to the media encoder representing a number of media segments of the media data to be broadcast and a time at which the media data must be available for delivery at the transmitter of the media broadcast device. The media encoder sends a second set of data representing a first number of estimated encoding bytes for the media data to the media encoder. The scheduler unit sends, to the transmitter, the number of media segments including respective portions of the encoded media data at or before the time at which the media data must be available for delivery at the transmitter.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication enable user equipment operating in a current cell that provides a multimedia broadcast/multicast service to distinguish between neighboring cells that have different operational characteristics. The presence of a neighboring cell is identified while the user equipment is operating in a first cell and it is determined whether the neighboring cell provides services different from the services provided in the current cell, based on information maintained by the user equipment. The user equipment may move to the neighboring cell to obtain better or different service.
Abstract:
Methods for delivering application content signaling information may include a generating a metadata fragment for application content items of an application to be acquired by a receiver device, adding to the metadata fragment a first set of attributes indicating that rendering of a linear service or a group of linear services is performed by a media player embedded in the application, and transmitting the metadata fragment to the receiver device. The first set of attributes may include an application launch page or launch file indicator for the application, and/or an indication of required capabilities for rendering the application and associated application content items. The first set of attributes may include a start time and an end time for at least one distribution window for the application, and the at least one distribution window may be associated with information about auxiliary application content delivered during the at least one distribution window.
Abstract:
