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:
The various embodiments enable a mobile device to determine the available services in a broadcast network based on an augmented coverage configuration file. In the various embodiments, the augmented coverage configuration file correlates the services for overlapping cells on different frequency carriers enabling the mobile device to determine the available services without having to scan additional frequency carriers.
Abstract:
In one example, a device configured to receive a first sub-segment of a segment of multimedia data, the first sub-segment comprising a first set of one or more data units and a first header including data indicative of locations of the data units within the first sub-segment, wherein at least one of the data units refers to a data unit of a second sub-segment of the segment. The device is also configured to, after receiving the first sub-segment, receive the second sub-segment, the second sub-segment comprising a second set of one or more data units and a second header including data indicative of locations of the data units within the second sub-segment. The device is also configured to process at least a portion of the segment after receiving the first sub-segment and the second sub-segment.
Abstract:
The systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable elastic response times to file requests by a server. In this manner, the server may account for unpredictable delay in object/segment availability and reduce the frequency that error messages (e.g., 404 error messages) are returned in response to file requests when file unavailability is temporary and due to network delays.
Abstract:
The systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable a receiver device to adjust timing of requests for segments based on the actual times when the segments will be available on the receiver device. In various embodiments, a receiver device may be enabled to modify a segment availability timeline in which the availability times of the segments are adjusted to provide the actual times when segments will be available on the receiver device. 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. In the various embodiments, a network delay jitter estimate may be provided. In an embodiment, a network delay jitter estimate may be provided in a segment availability timeline.
