Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable HTTP servers, such as HTTP servers providing segments to DASH clients according to the various embodiments, to pass incomplete versions of segments in response to segment requests from the DASH clients. The various embodiments may enable clients, such as DASH clients, to parse incomplete versions of segments.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable signaling, such as in-band signaling, of service description updates in Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) streaming over evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS).
Abstract:
Systems and methods adapted for providing heterogeneous media services in communication systems, such as using transport layer security deferral and/or medium redirect, are disclosed. In operation according to embodiments, heterogeneous media services may be facilitated by obtaining, by a hybrid broadcast receiver of a receiver device, a computer parsable object comprising information regarding content segment availability and access, wherein the hybrid broadcast receiver is adapted to obtain content via both broadcast and broadband connections for a streaming client of the receiver device. The hybrid broadcast receiver of embodiments may further operate to evaluate the computer parsable object for one or more content segment entries indicating transport layer security is to be invoked with respect to a connection used for obtaining one or more content segments and to overwrite the one or more content segment entries preventing the transport layer security from being invoked by the streaming client.
Abstract:
Embodiment systems, methods, and devices enable data streams of a broadcast service to be carried in multiple communication sessions in any transport protocol providing file transport information and the transmission of objects, an example of which is File Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport (“FLUTE”). A session description may include a category attribute indicating the type of data carried in such a protocol session. A schedule fragment may include references to a session description for each such protocol session associated with a service. A common listing of configuration parameters may be generated for all such protocol sessions associated with a service. A different listing of configuration parameters may be generated for each such protocol session associated with a service. A flag setting in a diary file may indicate one or more such protocol session associated with a service over which in-band update fragments may be broadcast.
Abstract:
A method for selectively prioritizing eMBMS includes: determining a collision metric associated with at least one of a plurality of eMBMS data streams on the first subscription; identifying a first eMBMS data stream of the plurality of eMBMS data streams having a highest collision metric amongst the plurality of eMBMS data streams on the first subscription; assigning the first eMBMS data stream with a higher QoS priority than a QoS priority assigned to paging occasions on the second subscription; and in response to detecting that an upcoming paging occasion on the second subscription coincides with an upcoming eMBMS data burst associated with the first eMBMS data stream on the first subscription, utilizing the RF chain to receive the eMBMS data burst on the first subscription based on the first eMBMS data stream on the first subscription having a higher QoS priority than the paging occasions on the second subscription.

Abstract:
An example client device for reporting consumption of media data includes one or more network interfaces configured to send and receive data via a network, and a middleware unit implemented from one or more hardware-based processors comprising digital logic circuitry, the middleware unit configured to determine a service area in which the client device was located when the client device received media data via the network interfaces, determine a reporting strategy for consumption of the media data based on the determined service area in which the client device was located when the client device received the media data, and report consumption of the media data according to the reporting strategy.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable a receiver device to use a modified segment availability time. In various embodiments, a receiver device may be enabled to modify availability start times for segments in a segment availability timeline, such as a Media Presentation Description (MPD), to account for the actual times when segments will be available to a DASH client.
Abstract:
In one example, a client device for receiving media data includes a streaming client and a middleware unit. The middleware unit is configured to receive a first portion of data of a current segment of media data, wherein file delivery information for the current segment indicates that transmission of the data for the current segment will end at a first time, determine, prior to the first time, that a remaining portion of the data of the current segment will not be received, and, based on the determination, deliver at least some of the first portion of data to the streaming client.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a user service description (USD) message. When a frequency indicated in the USD message is not a current frequency, the apparatus determines that a system information message is received, determines that the frequency indicated in the USD message is included in the system information message, determines that the frequency is a neighboring cell frequency, sets a priority of the frequency to a highest priority, and measures a signal strength of the frequency when the frequency is included in the system information message, performs a cell reselection determination procedure based on the signal strength of the frequency, performs cell reselection to the neighboring cell based on a result of the cell reselection determination procedure, and acquires the multicast service in the neighboring cell on the frequency.
