Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be an MBMS receiver device. The MBMS receiver device receives at least one packet associated with an MBMS service. A configuration for providing the at least one packet to a UE is determined. The configuration may be one of a plurality of different configurations. The plurality of configurations may include at least a first configuration and a second configuration. The MBMS receiver device processes the received at least one packet based on the configuration. The MBMS receiver device sends the processed at least one packet to the UE based on the configuration.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable a device to use a modified segment availability time. In various embodiments, a Broadcast Multimedia Service Center (BMSC) server may be enabled to modify a segment availability timeline in which the availability times of the segments. In various embodiments, segment availability time adjustments may be made at a service layer of the receiver device. In various embodiments, segment availability time adjustments may be made by a client application on the receiver device.
Abstract:
A method for cell reselection by a wireless communication device is described. The method includes camping on a serving cell in idle mode. A neighbor cell is detected. A serving cell rank is computed for the serving cell. A neighbor cell rank is computed for the neighbor cell based on multimedia broadcast multicast service metrics. Cell reselection is determined based on the serving cell rank and the neighbor cell rank.
Abstract:
Embodiments include methods implemented by a processor of a mobile communication device for managing tune-aways by a radio frequency resource supporting a first subscription to support a second subscription. The processor may determine a data loss ratio of the data of a media file that is lost in transmission to the mobile communication device. The processor may compare the data loss ratio of the data to a first data loss ratio threshold and a second data loss ratio threshold, and the processor may block a tune-away event of the radio frequency resource from the first subscription to the second subscription in response to determining that the data loss ratio of the data is greater than the first data loss ratio threshold and less than the second data loss ratio threshold.
Abstract:
In one example, a device for retrieving media data includes a middleware unit configured to determine a first set of one or more services available via a first network of a first type, determine a second set of one or more services available via a second network of a second type, wherein the second network is different than the first network, produce an aggregate list of services including the first set of services and the second set of services such that the aggregate list does not identify the first network and does not identify the second network, receive a selection of a service from the aggregate list of services, and retrieve media data of the selected service from either the first network or the second network.

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:
Distributed computing is disclosed in which a client device accesses a service announcement for a broadcast service in order to retrieve transport parameters describing a data transmission service. The client device obtains a refresh rate from the service description file, which is separate from the data transmission service, wherein the refresh rate relates to a frequency at which the data transmission service updates data in a data transmission provided by the data transmission service. The client device uses the transport parameters to access the data transmission to receive the data. Once the data is received, the client device will delay any subsequent access to the data transmission to get updated data for a delay time based at least in part on the refresh rate.
