    摘要: The switch signaling methods providing improved switching between representations for adaptive HTTP streaming described herein enable user experience and bandwidth efficiency improvements for adaptive HTTP streaming solutions, even when segment data is encrypted. The signaling methods include associating segment maps with segments of a representation, wherein a segment map comprises both temporal entry and temporal exit points within associated segments together with byte offset information and potentially other segment information, wherein segment maps may be generated with predictable time span patterns that are independent of the time spans of the associated segments. These embodiments can be used to enhance existing deployments in such a way that there is no need to change existing content encoding and formatting processes, and such that existing clients that receive and play out content are unaffected.

    摘要: Data objects are delivered over a packet-switched network and receivers receive encoded symbols, such as repair symbols, broadcast or multicast, with sufficient information to form requests for additional symbols as needed based on what source symbols or sub-symbols are needed or missing. The requests can be made in a unicast or request fashion. Requesting and broadcasting might be done by different entities. A broadcast server can generate and store repair symbols while a source server can store content in source form. A request can be a unicast HTTP byte-range request, such as a URL, starting position and length. Requests might be aligned with starting positions of files. A receiver can calculate starting and ending byte positions of symbols or sub-symbols in a file and get indications that conventional HTTP servers are usable for file repair. Repair servers can request broadcast of repair data when byte-range requests from multiple receivers overlap.
