摘要： Embodiments provide power-efficient mechanisms for communicating small amounts of information to receiver devices within a mobile broadcast system. A generic transport mechanism enables transmitting data relevant to upper layer protocols in a lower layer sub-channel so multiple information summary flows can share the same physical layer sub-channel. Data fields are added to the Overhead Information Service (OIS) channel to provide power-efficient logical channels for carrying the summary information. Data from the power-efficient logical channels are provided to an upper protocol layer that receives the information summary flows. Information summary flow may carry a version number of an information flow in the broadcast signal, codes or other information. Receiver devices periodically monitoring the OIS receive the information summary flows. Employing an embodiment, a receiver device can minimize power consumption because reception of the OIS can indicate whether any new information flows are available, obviating a need to periodically check information flows.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for RF handoff in a multi-frequency network. A method includes generating a handoff table that comprises RF channels of current and neighboring local operations infrastructures (LOIs) carrying the same content as a current RF channel; detecting a handoff event; disqualifying one or more of the RF channels from the handoff table based on disqualification criteria; selecting a selected RF channel from remaining RF channels in the handoff table that have not been disqualified; and performing a handoff from the current RF channel to the selected RF channel. Another method includes detecting a handoff event; identifying a start of a handoff time interval; determining if RSSI measurements are available at the start of the handoff time interval for RF channels carrying desired content; and performing a handoff to a selected RF channel having a greatest RSSI measurement.

摘要： Data objects are delivered over a packet-switched network and receivers receive encoded symbols, such as repair symbols, broadcast or multicast, with sufficient information to form requests for additional symbols as needed based on what source symbols or sub-symbols are needed or missing. The requests can be made in a unicast or request fashion. Requesting and broadcasting might be done by different entities. A broadcast server can generate and store repair symbols while a source server can store content in source form. A request can be a unicast HTTP byte-range request, such as a URL, starting position and length. Requests might be aligned with starting positions of files. A receiver can calculate starting and ending byte positions of symbols or sub-symbols in a file and get indications that conventional HTTP servers are usable for file repair. Repair servers can request broadcast of repair data when byte-range requests from multiple receivers overlap.

摘要翻译： 数据对象通过分组交换网络传送，并且接收机根据需要或基于哪些源符号或子符号需要或丢失，根据需要接收具有足够信息的编码符号（如修复符号，广播或多播）以形成对附加符号的请求。 请求可以以单播或请求方式进行。 请求和广播可能由不同的实体完成。 广播服务器可以生成和存储修复符号，而源服务器可以以源形式存储内容。 请求可以是单播HTTP字节范围请求，例如URL，起始位置和长度。 请求可能与文件的起始位置一致。 接收器可以计算文件中符号或子符号的开始和结束字节位置，并获得常规HTTP服务器可用于文件修复的指示。 当来自多个接收器的字节范围请求重叠时，修复服务器可以请求广播修复数据。
