Abstract:
Technology for receiving streaming media content is disclosed. A media presentation description (MPD) for the streaming media content can be received at a user equipment (UE). A streaming interval can be selected for the streaming media content. A power consumption level can be calculated for receiving the streaming media content at each of a plurality of media content representations that are described in the MPD. A media content representation can be selected from the plurality of media content representations based on: the power consumption level associated with receiving the streamed media content at the media content representation; and power status information for the UE, using the one or more processors of the UE. The streaming media content can be received at the selected media content representation, at the UE, in accordance with the streaming interval. The streaming media content can be played at the UE.
Abstract:
A wireless network device to support quality-aware adaptive media streaming includes a radio-frequency transceiver, a processor operably coupled to the radio-frequency transceiver, and a memory device operably coupled to the processor. The memory storing instructions that configure the processor to parse a manifest file to read information characterizing media content available for hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming, obtain quality information of the media content based on a quality attribute parsed from the manifest file, and dynamically switch streaming between different encoded portions of the media content in response to the quality information for an encoded portion of the media content deviating from a desired quality value.
