摘要: There is described an apparatus for a base station in a radio access network. The apparatus is configured to detect a change in a radio network congestion status associated with a cell or cell sector of the base station that is being used to serve a mobile device, the change being a change to a given one of a plurality of possible radio congestion levels. The apparatus starts a packet modification process to modify one or more packets in each of one or more uplink data flows from the mobile device to a core network of the radio access network, the one or more packets in each of the one or more uplink data flows being modified by the packet modification process to signal, to a server in the core network, the change in congestion status to the given one of the plurality of possible radio congestion levels.

摘要: There are provided apparatuses and methods for providing user information stored at an access network to a content provider, the access network for providing a user device with access to the internet, the user information relating to a user of an application module stored on the user device, the user device for requesting and receiving content from a said content provider. A request for an identifier for the user device to use when requesting content from a content provider is received at an access network, which generates and transmits an identifier to the user device. A request from the content provider for user information is received at the access network, the request comprising the generated identifier. The access network obtains user information based on the identifier and transmits, to the content provider, the obtained user information.

摘要: There is described a system of operating a network entity to distribute a media stream in a communications network. A plurality of different versions of the media stream are available from a content source, each version having a respective quality level different to that of the other versions and each version of the media stream comprises a plurality of consecutive portions. A first request is received from a user device for a portion of a first one of the versions of the media stream stored at a content source and a caching procedure is performed in response to receiving the first request. The caching procedure comprises requesting from the content source at least one portion of at least one of the other versions of the media stream or at least one other portion of the first one of the versions of the media stream; receiving the requested at least one portion or the at least one other portion; and causing the received at least one portion or the at least one other portion to be cached at a cache in the communication network.

摘要: There is described a method for determining a play duration estimate of an adaptive bit rate (ABR) media presentation. The method comprises receiving at a network entity a media playlist manifest file of the media presentation, wherein the manifest file is transmitted from a content server to a client and comprises a plurality of entries, each entry linking to a respective different one of a plurality of media segments of the media presentation. The method further comprises determining a data size of the manifest file; and determining a play duration estimate of the media presentation based on the determined data size of the manifest file, a first value that represents a data size of each of the plurality of entries in the manifest file and a second value that represents a play duration of each media segment of the plurality of media segments of the media presentation.

摘要: A method of data replication in a distributed storage system of a mobile communications network is disclosed. The distributed storage system comprises a plurality of geographically separated storage locations. The method comprises, at a first storage location: receiving a first request for data stored in the distributed storage system; determining, based on the first request, further, different, data to be stored at the first storage location; determining a second, different, storage location, of the plurality of storage locations, at which the determined further data is stored; sending, to the determined second storage location, a replication request for replicating the determined further data; receiving, in response to the replication request, the further data; and storing the further data such that the further data is replicated at the first storage location in advance of a further request for the further data being received at the first storage location. Apparatus is also disclosed.

摘要: A method, apparatus and non-transitory computer medium are provided for obtaining a required frame size for a first compressed data frame to be generated by compressing at least a first data frame of a media file, the first compressed data frame for use by a user equipment in a communications network. The method comprises, responsive to receiving a request for the media file from the user equipment, retrieving at least metadata of the media file. The required frame size for the first compressed data frame is determined based on a size of the at least a first data frame as indicated by the metadata, a compression parameter indicative of a requested compression factor for the at least a first data frame and a biasing factor that acts to reduce the effect of the requested compression factor.
