Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for dynamically adjusting the amount of media content to transmit to a client for caching during a media streaming event. To begin, the location of the user may be determined. Based on the location of the user, a route may be predicted if the user is moving. A future connectivity interruption in the network coverage may be identified by comparing known areas of network coverage with the location of the user and/or the predicted route. Based on the likelihood of a future connectivity interruption, the amount of media content to transmit to a client for caching may be dynamically adjusted so that the user have a seamless media experience even in times of network coverage disconnect.
