Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable objects associated with a service available in a MBMS network to be delivered through more than one delivery method or context. In various embodiments, an application service document may map objects of a service to their respective delivery methods or contexts. In an embodiment, an application service document may also identify service area restrictions applicable to an object. In an embodiment, an application service document may further identify group restrictions applicable to an object. In a further embodiment, the application service document may identify identical and alternative objects that are available.
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:
Techniques are provided for receiving one or more representations of content wirelessly. The method may involve receiving a media presentation description (MPD) that includes parameters for reception of data segments for multiple representations of content via broadcast transmission and unicast transmission. The method may involve determining whether the broadcast transmission or the unicast transmission is appropriate for reception of the data segments, and selecting a given representation from among the multiple representations of the content based on a criteria of the mobile entity. The method may involve receiving the data segments for the given representation based at least in part on the parameters for the determined one of the broadcast transmission and the unicast transmission.
Abstract:
Various embodiments may provide streaming service downlink assistance and/or uplink assistance mechanisms for a wireless device using attention (AT) commands exchanged between a modem processor of the wireless device and another processor of the wireless device. Various embodiments may include an AT command that is a bitrate recommendation action command including an indication of a stream identifier, an indication of a requested bitrate, and an indication of a direction. Various embodiments may include an AT response that is a bitrate recommendation response, the bitrate recommendation response including an indication of a stream identifier, an indication of a bitrate recommendation, and an indication of a direction.
Abstract:
Various embodiments may provide streaming service downlink network assistance and/or uplink network assistance mechanisms in a fifth generation (5G) system (5GS) network via an Application Function (AF) computing device in a 5GS. In some embodiments, a computing device and/or the AF computing device may inform the network about needs for capacity for downlink or uplink traffic. Various embodiments may include sending radio access network (RAN) capacity requests to a network computing device of the 5GS network including a 5G RAN. In some embodiments, the network computing device of the 5GS network may be a computing device that is not part of the 5G RAN. In some embodiments, capacity need messages may be sent directly from user equipment (UE) computing devices to computing devices of the 5G RAN. In some embodiments, capacity information of the RAN may be delivered to an AF computing device via an intermediate network function.
Abstract:
In one example, a device includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to execute a Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) aware application (DAA) and a DASH client, and one or more user interfaces. The DAA subscribes to DASH events of a DASH event stream via a first application programming interface (API) between the DAA and a DASH client executed by the one or more processors. The DAA then receives data for one or more DASH events of the DASH event stream from the DASH client via a second API between the DAA and the DASH client, the data for the one or more DASH events specifying interactivity-related content. The DAA then presents the interactivity-related content via the one or more user interfaces. The DAA may further send usage measurements on usage of the interactivity-related content to the DASH client, for reporting to a report server device.

Abstract:
An example device for reporting interactivity usage information while presenting streamed media data includes a memory configured to store media data, and a processor implemented in circuitry and configured to execute a streaming client to receive a manifest file indicating reporting expectations representing data to be reported by the streaming client to a reporting server device during a media streaming session, send data representative of the reporting expectations to an interactivity application executed on the client device, receive interactivity usage information from the interactivity application executed on the client device, and report the interactivity usage information to the reporting server device.
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.
