Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication that a 5G media streaming (5GMS) service is partially available over a 5G multicast/broadcast service (5MBS). The UE may receive information that indicates a first set of resources of the 5GMS service that are accessible or delivered via 5G unicast, and a second set of resources of the 5GMS service that are accessible or delivered via 5MBS, wherein the second set of resources are hosted on a server of the UE. The UE may receive or transmit data associated with the 5GMS service. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
A client device (e.g., user equipment or "UE") may be configured to engage in a media communication session, such as a WebRTC session, with another client device. The client devices may separate a quality of service (QoS) specification from a QoS flow definition, to allow for separate interactive connectivity establishment (ICE) negotiation. The QoS specification may cover all segments of a connection for the media communication session. For example, QoS may be requested for a case where a server (e.g., a Traversal Using Relay Network Address Translation (TURN) server) is hosted by a mobile network operator (MNO). The QoS specification and the QoS flow description may be linked.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or one or more networks. In one aspect, the apparatus receives an MBMS video streaming service through broadcast from a first network. In addition, the apparatus determines a failure in association with the reception of the broadcasted MBMS video streaming service. Further, the apparatus receives, based on the determined failure of the broadcasted MBMS video streaming service, the MBMS video streaming service through unicast from a second network. In one configuration, the apparatus transmits information to the second network indicating that the MBMS video streaming service through broadcast from the first network has failed. In such a configuration, the MBMS video streaming service through unicast from the second network is received based on the transmitted information.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for streaming service in a fifth generation (5G) system (5GS) network. Various embodiments may provide for selecting appropriate network slices for provisioning media content and streaming service over the network. Desired network slice features may be indicated that correspond to service information.
Abstract:
A device for retrieving media data includes a memory configured to store media data of a media presentation; and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to: retrieve a manifest file for the media presentation, the manifest file including data for an initialization set, the initialization set including initialization parameters for the full duration of the media presentation; initializing playback of the media data of the media presentation using the initialization set; retrieving the media data of the media presentation; and present the media data according to the initialized playback. For example, the initialization parameters may specify a maximum width or a maximum height of pictures of the media presentation or a maximum frame rate of the media presentation. Thus, the processors can process pictures of any size less than or equal to the maximum width/height, or media data equal to or less than the maximum frame rate.
Abstract:
An example device for reporting interactivity usage information while presenting streamed media data includes a memory configured to store media data, and a processor implemented in circuitry and configured to execute a streaming client to receive a manifest file indicating reporting expectations representing data to be reported by the streaming client to a reporting server device during a media streaming session, send data representative of the reporting expectations to an interactivity application executed on the client device, receive interactivity usage information from the interactivity application executed on the client device, and report the interactivity usage information to the reporting server device.
Abstract:
A media device pre-fetches media data that is likely to be retrieved. An example media device includes a memory for storing media data, and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to receive information indicating at least one data structure of a plurality of data structures that is likely to be retrieved by a plurality of user devices operated by a respective plurality of users, the data structure including media data, and retrieve the media data of the data structure before receiving requests for the media data from the user devices. The information may be included in, e.g., a manifest file, a special Parameters Enhancing Delivery (PED) message, and/or a separate track of a video file multiplexed with other tracks of the video file.
Abstract:
Methods for delivering application content signaling information may include a generating a metadata fragment for application content items of an application to be acquired by a receiver device, adding to the metadata fragment a first set of attributes indicating that rendering of a linear service or a group of linear services is performed by a media player embedded in the application, and transmitting the metadata fragment to the receiver device. The first set of attributes may include an application launch page or launch file indicator for the application, and/or an indication of required capabilities for rendering the application and associated application content items. The first set of attributes may include a start time and an end time for at least one distribution window for the application, and the at least one distribution window may be associated with information about auxiliary application content delivered during the at least one distribution window.
Abstract:
A method of transporting media data includes, by a file-based protocol sending unit of a source device, receiving a stream of data comprising Segments of media data from a segmenter of the source device that forms the Segments, each of the Segments comprising a respective individually retrievable file associated with a unique uniform resource locator (URL), determining locations of media delivery events (MDEs) in the stream of media data, wherein the MDEs include data for at least a portion of one of the Segments, determining one or more transmission time requirements for the MDEs representing times at which the MDEs are to be sent to a client device, and providing the MDEs and data representing the transmission time requirements to a physical layer sending unit of the source device according to available delivery slots for the physical layer sending unit.
Abstract:
In one example, a device for retrieving audio data includes one or more processors configured to receive availability data representative of a plurality of available adaptation sets, the available adaptation sets including a scene-based audio adaptation set and one or more object-based audio adaptation sets, receive selection data identifying which of the scene-based audio adaptation set and the one or more object-based audio adaptation sets are to be retrieved, and provide instruction data to a streaming client to cause the streaming client to retrieve data for each of the adaptation sets identified by the selection data, and a memory configured to store the retrieved data for the audio adaptation sets.
