Abstract:
An apparatus includes receive path circuitry configured to receive a Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Media Transport (MMT) container and a processing device configured to identify locations of one or more media fragment units (MFUs) in the MMT container using a hint track within the MMT container. Another apparatus includes transmit path circuitry configured to transmit an MMT container and a processing device configured to identify locations of one or more MFUs in the MMT container using a hint track within the MMT container.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) includes a communication unit and a processor. The communication unit communicates with a server. The processor transmits a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) streaming session request including an indication that the UE supports Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) media transport (MMT) to the server and receives a description of MMT service components including an indication that the server supports MMT. The processor also migrates the UE to a MMT streaming session, selects at least one service component from the MMT service components, transmits a selection message to the server, and receives media corresponding to the selected at least one service component.
Abstract:
A server for streaming content includes a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface is configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE). The processor is configured to determine whether the UE supports viewing direction feedback. When the UE supports viewing direction feedback, the processor generates a first portion of the content corresponding to a first field of view of the UE and transmits the first portion of the content to the UE.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for allocating bandwidth between a coordinator device and a user equipment (UE). In the system, the UE includes a communication interface configured to communicate with the coordinator device. The UE also includes a processor configured to receive an initial resource price from the coordinator device, determine an initial resource request, and transmit the initial resource request to the coordinator device.
Abstract:
A method for delivering content in a communication network includes receiving, by a cache, a request message requesting content to be served. The method includes storing multiple cache manifests corresponding to indicating content and capabilities of a plurality of caches. Each cache manifest indicates content and capabilities of a respective one of the caches and lists descriptions of the content stored in the respective cache. The method includes determining, based on information in the plurality of cache manifests, to serve the requested content, by selecting a cache from which to serve the requested content. The method includes in response to the determination, instructing the selected cache to transmit the requested content to a client device that generated the request message; and alternatively determining to not serve the requested content, based on the information in the plurality of cache manifests, and forwarding the request message to a higher level device.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) for reproducing a presentation having a plurality of media includes a processor, a memory, and a display. The processor receives a first document configured to provide a presentation and a second document configured to indicate a timing sequence for media and spatial layout updates. The processor determines whether the second document includes at least one condition for at least one instruction element among the plurality of instructions and reproduces the plurality of instructions in accordance with the first document, the second document, and/or the at least one condition. The memory stores at least one media based on a store directive when the second document includes a store directive for at least one instruction among the plurality of instructions. The display displays the reproduced plurality of media.
Abstract:
A method, client device, and server for multipath data packet transmission and reception. The method for multipath data packet reception includes transmitting, by the client device, a message to the server. The message includes an identifier that is unique to a multipath transmission session and that identifies a group of two or more network access interfaces of the client device to receive one or more data packets from the server during the multipath transmission session. The method also includes receiving, by the client device, the one or more data packets from the server through each of the two or more network access interfaces of the client device during the multipath transmission session based on one or more characteristics of the two or more network access interfaces.
Abstract:
A client device communicates with a server to receive media streaming. The server detect a current media streaming session with the client device and determines a need to convey information regarding the ongoing media streaming session to the client device The server inserts a trigger in a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) response to a client device. The trigger is configured to indicate that a connection with the server is requested. The client device detects the trigger and verifies whether the server is a trusted server. After verifying that the server is trusted and the request is legitimate. The client device establishes a connection with the server and requests a message including information about the ongoing media streaming session. In response, the server sends a dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) message to the client device.
Abstract:
A method, an electronic device, and computer readable medium is provided. The method includes receiving, from a client device, an assertion that includes a value predicate; configuring entities in a workflow to accomplish a task within requirements of the value predicate found in the assertion; and directing a payload from a client device to the entities configured in at least one media processing entity.
Abstract:
An electronic device, a server and a method for rendering timed text within an omnidirectional video are disclosed. The method includes receiving a signaling message including a flag indicating whether a position of the timed text within the omnidirectional video is dependent on a viewport of the omnidirectional video. The method also includes determining whether the position of the timed text within the omnidirectional video is dependent on the viewport based on the flag. The method further includes rendering the timed text within the omnidirectional video based on the determination.
