    摘要: The technology described herein relates to implementing an adaptive bitrate (ABR) algorithm at edge nodes. A method for implementing an ABR algorithm at an edge node may include receiving at the edge node a request for a video segment from a client according to the client's ABR algorithm, the request indicating a quality. A weighted sum score for each of a set of qualities may be computed based on a quality score and a fairness score using the ABR algorithm at the edge node, the qualities including at least the requested quality and another quality. A modified request may be generated in response to the weighted sum score for the other quality being better than the weighted sum score for the requested quality. The modified request may be sent to a server. The video segment in the other quality may be received from the server and provided to a client.

    摘要: In various examples, the decoding and upscaling capabilities of a client device are analyzed to determine encoding parameters and operations used by a content streaming server to generate encoded video streams. The quality of the upscaled content of the client device may be monitored by the streaming servers such that the encoding parameters may be updated based on the monitored quality. In this way, the encoding operations of one or more streaming servers may be more effectively matched to the decoding and upscaling abilities of one or more client devise such that an increased number of client devices may be served by the streaming servers.

    摘要: Some embodiments relate to a method including obtaining information of available quality features of a sender device for providing omnidirectional visual media content; selecting one or more of the available quality features; and providing an indication of the selected one or more of the available quality features. There is also provided a method including obtaining information of available quality features of a receiver device for processing omnidirectional visual media content; providing an indication of the available quality features; receiving from a sender device indication of available quality features of the sender device among the available quality features of the receiver device; selecting one of the quality features, which are available both in the sender device and in the receiver device; and providing an indication of the selected quality feature.
