Abstract:
This disclosure relates enhancements to a SDN system including the controller, southbound interface, and OpenFlow devices, to enable hash-routing, and describes SDN applications making use of this feature. More specifically, the application relates to Software Defined Networking (e.g., OpenFlow) enhancements to facilitate the deployment and usage of Distributed Hash Tables, for example as part of Information Centric Networking (ICN).
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described for synchronizing a media presentation on a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). A media session may be replicated from a first WTRU onto a second WTRU. The second WTRU replicates the presentation of the media program from the first WTRU at least in part by receiving a networked bookmark from an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, wherein the networked bookmark comprises a suggested presentation offset that indicates an offset in time from a bookmark-created time to a bookmark presentation time at the first WTRU; the second WTRU determining a second-WTRU-presentation offset based at least in part on the suggested presentation offset; and the second WTRU presenting the media program with the determined second-WTRU presentation offset from the beginning of the media program.

Abstract:
A decoding complexity may be used to predict power consumption for receiving, decoding, and/or displaying multimedia content at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The decoding complexity may be based on decoding complexity feedback received from a reference device, such as another WTRU. The decoding complexity feedback may be based on measurements performed at the reference device for receiving decoding, and/or displaying the multimedia content. A content providing device may indicate the decoding complexity of requested media content to a WTRU, or another network entity. The decoding complexity may be indicated in a streaming protocol or file associated with the media content. The WTRU, or other network entity, may use the decoding complexity determine its preferences regarding transmission of the media content. The content providing device may determine whether to transmit the media content based on the decoding complexity and/or the preferences of the WTRU or other network entity.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are described for sponsoring service and preferential traffic handling, (i.e., data connectivity) by wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). A first WTRU may initiate user sponsoring of a second WTRU via an application server (AS). The first WTRU may receive a service trigger from the AS and forward the service trigger to the second WTRU. The second WTRU may then initiate a sponsored session with the AS using the service trigger in order to receive a service from the AS. The first WTRU may also request the AS to transfer a credit to the second WTRU. The AS may establish a direct communication link with a charging system including an online charging function (OCF) and a charging data function (CDF). The AS may send a request to a network to provide preferential traffic handling needed to deliver content to the second WTRU.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for use in a network storage control peer (NSCP) supporting peer to peer (P2P) operation are disclosed. The method includes receiving a content map request message and transmitting a content map response message including an indication that a CDN-stored content piece is available from the NSCP; and, receiving a content fetch request message for the content piece and transmitting a response message including a redirection command and the CDN URI for the content piece.
