Abstract: Apparatus and methods for content fragmentation, distribution, protection, and re-constitution within a content distribution network. In one embodiment, the apparatus and methods enable distribution of content fragments to edge nodes (which may include user or subscriber CPE), thereby enabling edge networks or membership groups to be established wherein content can be shared solely at the edge. In one variant, high data bandwidth, symmetric uplink/downlink, low latency PHY links (e.g., 5G NR-compliant wireless interfaces) between the edge nodes participating in the edge networks or membership groups are used such that particular quality of service/experience performance requirements can be met. Distribution of the fragments also advantageously enhances redundancy and security.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for displaying data in an immersive environment wherein sensor (e.g., IoT sensor) data is aggregated via a gateway and various different types of air interfaces depending on application and location (e.g., LoRa, Wi-Fi, 5G NR, C-band, 60 GHz, CBRS, etc.), aggregated at a cloud service, processed through an analytics platform, and transmitted to a UI platform for display on a user interface. One implementation of displaying the sensor data comprises overlaying the sensor data in virtual reality in an immersive video wherein the video is a live stream from a 360-degree 8K camera. A user may interact with the overlaid sensor data within the user interface in a virtual environment to change settings to a desired degree. Artificial intelligence and machine learning may automatically suggest actions to the user or change settings based on sensor data.
