Abstract:
A system and methods for determining whether to participate in reception reporting procedures for an eMBMS service. Multiple applications on a receiver device can consume the same file download or streaming eMBMS service, and can have conflicting opt in/opt out settings for reporting in middleware. Algorithms are provided that take into account the different opt statuses of applications, and allow middleware components to determine whether to log reception metrics for a service and/or whether a reception report should be uploaded after a service session of the service.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be an eMBMS middleware. The apparatus receives a request to activate reception of an eMBMS service. The apparatus receives a request for a segment associated with the eMBMS service. The apparatus determines whether the segment of the eMBMS service is available at the eMBMS middleware. The apparatus fetches the segment from the unicast server if the segment is not available at the eMBMS middleware.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided in connection with facilitating hybrid unicast/broadcast service distribution. In one example, a communications device is equipped to provide a parity portion of titles in a channel of a service to a plurality of UEs at a first time, receive, from a UE at a second time, a request to access a title of the one or more titles, and provide an enablement item, to the requesting UE, which is a portion of the requested title that, when processed with the provided parity portion of the requested title, is sufficient to allow the requesting UE to decode and access to the requested title. In an aspect, the parity portion may be a parity portion of a fountain code encoded title, and the enablement item may be repair symbols of the fountain code encoded title.
