Abstract:
Techniques are provided for content delivery via on-demand mobile broadcast service. For example, there is provided a method operable by a network entity, such as a Broadcast-Multicast Service Center (BM-SC), that may involve receiving a request for content, and performing predictive analysis of at least one of the requested content or user information to target content to at least two user equipments (UEs) in a coverage area. The method may involve providing at least one of the requested content or the targeted content via an on-demand mobile broadcast service. The targeted content may include at least one of supplemental content related to the requested content or targeted advertising.
Abstract:
In one example, a method of retrieving media data includes, by a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) client of a client device: receiving advertisement media data of one or more advertisement groups, receiving an identifier value for one of the advertisement groups from a dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) client of the client device, extracting the advertisement media data of the advertisement group corresponding to the identifier value, and providing the extracted advertisement media data to the DASH client.
Abstract:
An example a first network entity for processing feature set data formed from media data includes a processing system comprising one or more processors implemented in circuitry, the processing system being configured to: determine a first set of processing tasks of a series of processing tasks to be performed on a set of media data, the first set of processing tasks corresponding to tasks to be performed by the first network entity, wherein a second set of processing tasks is to be performed by a second network entity; perform the first set of processing tasks on the set of media data to form a feature map; encode the feature map to form an encoded feature map; and send the encoded feature map to the second network entity to enable the second network entity to perform the second set of processing tasks using the feature map.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices enable a receiver device to determine completeness of low level signaling (LLS) tables received via broadcast transmissions. In various embodiments, broadcast service signaling may include generating a directory table identifying one or more LLS tables to be broadcast and sending the directory table in a broadcast stream of the one or more LLS tables. In various embodiments, broadcast service signaling may include calculating a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code for, generating a hash value for, and/or applying a digital signature to one or more LLS tables in a broadcast stream.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for handling and outputting broadcast content and secondary content based on metadata embedded in the broadcast content are provided. Embodiments may include receiving broadcast content, wherein the received broadcast content includes metadata embedded into the broadcast content. Embodiments may also include decoding the broadcast content to extract the metadata from the broadcast content and outputting the broadcast content in collaboration with the extracted metadata.
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:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive from a base station access parameters corresponding to respective types of access controls for different types of data services, receive a TFT established at a core network based on mapping a packet filter to access control information for each type of access control, receive a data packet from an application, match the data packet to the packet filter to determine access control information corresponding to the data packet, and establish communication for the data packet based on access parameters for the determined access control information. Alternatively, the apparatus may be policy server configured to receive a request for traffic control regarding data being communicated to an application server, determine a policy update for the application server based on the request, and transmit the policy update to a UE.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for delivery of opaque objects provided by a content provider to network nodes within a communication network are described. Opaque objects may comprise data objects whose data structure is not natively defined in the network interface and thus have a data type and/or structure that would be unknown to systems of the network. Communication systems may be configured according to embodiments to facilitate delivery of such opaque objects, such as by providing a robust network interface between a content provider system and the network through which network information is provided from the network to the content provider system and/or delivery manifest information for opaque objects is provided from the content provider system to the network.
