    Abstract: Congestion control may be provided. A set of rules may allow a congestion control process to switch from delay-mode to loss-mode (e.g., in the presence of loss-based flows) and back to delay-mode (e.g., when loss-based flows stop). Fairness properties of this set of rules may include that the resulting flows may be fair to each other and the flows may also be fair when competing with loss-based flows. Many flows that may be deadlocked in loss-mode (e.g., in the absence of other genuine loss-based flows) may be helped to switch back to delay-mode.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of maintaining continuous identity for mobile devices includes: obtaining a first address for a first device; and obtaining, from one or more auxiliary sensors, auxiliary sensor information related to the first device. The method also includes determining whether the auxiliary sensor information matches information associated with a second address, where the second address was previously associated with the first device. The method further includes linking the first address with the second address for the first device, in order to continue tracking the first device when the second address is no longer detected, in response to determining that the auxiliary sensor information matches information associated with the second address.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable a more efficient allocation of one or more shared network resources amongst a plurality of client devices based on media content complexity and client device resource status in order to better manage perceptual playback quality. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a plurality of resource constraint values associated with a plurality of client devices sharing a network resource, and jointly determining a respective encoding rate level selection and a corresponding resource allocation for each of the plurality of client devices based on a combination of one or more resource constraint values and the assessment of the respective perceptual quality level values, such that a combination of resulting quality levels satisfies a joint quality criterion.

    Abstract: Previously known network management practices fail to inform network operators about client-side performance and experience issues. By contrast, various implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods and apparatuses that generate one or more shared-resource traffic quality indicator values. Each shared-resource traffic quality indicator value characterizes at least a portion of the network by assessing a number of network performance characterization values in relation to one or more capacity values of one or more shared network resources. Each network performance characterization values provides a corresponding quantitative characterization of a quality of experience associated with the use of media content data received by a respective client device. In some implementations, quality of experience is characterized by at least one of an indication of perceptual quality of media content data and an indication of continuity with which media content data is used by a respective client device at a particular subscription tier.

    Abstract: Weighted fair sharing of video bandwidth may be provided, for example, over TCP. First, a number of connections with a receiver may be opened. The number of active connections may be proportional to a weighting parameter associated with a stream. Next, the stream may be transmitted over the number of active connections and feedback information may be obtained corresponding to the stream received at the receiver. A quality adaptation may then be made based on the obtained feedback. The process may be repeated over time with the number of active connections changing along with the weighting parameters.
