20120303745 | APPLICATION TRANSPORT LEVEL LOCATION FILTERING OF INTERNET PROTOCOL MULTICAST CONTENT DELIVERY - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a plurality of data sets in a first FLUTE session. Each data set of the data sets includes an identifier and a target area associated with a broadcast. The apparatus receives a broadcast and an identifier associated with the broadcast in a second FLUTE session. The apparatus determines the target area associated with the received broadcast based on the identifier received with the received broadcast. The apparatus determines whether to keep the received broadcast based on whether a criterion associated with the target area is satisfied. | 11-29-2012 |
20130036234 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSPORT OF DYNAMIC ADAPTIVE STREAMING OVER HTTP (DASH) INITIALIZATION SEGMENT DESCRIPTION FRAGMENTS AS USER SERVICE DESCRIPTION FRAGMENTS - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus establishes a file delivery session with a server in a broadcast network for system information. The apparatus also receives a plurality of metadata fragments in the file delivery session. The plurality of metadata fragments including at least one initialization segment description fragment, wherein the at least one initialization segment description fragment is associated with at least one media segment transmitted in another file delivery session. | 02-07-2013 |

20130182643 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSITIONS OF BROADCAST DASH SERVICE RECEPTIONS BETWEEN UNICAST AND BROADCAST - Techniques are provided for receiving one or more representations of content wirelessly. The method may involve receiving a media presentation description (MPD) that includes parameters for reception of data segments for multiple representations of content via broadcast transmission and unicast transmission. The method may involve determining whether the broadcast transmission or the unicast transmission is appropriate for reception of the data segments, and selecting a given representation from among the multiple representations of the content based on a criteria of the mobile entity. The method may involve receiving the data segments for the given representation based at least in part on the parameters for the determined one of the broadcast transmission and the unicast transmission. | 07-18-2013 |
20140372624 | MEDIATING CONTENT DELIVERY VIA ONE OR MORE SERVICES - A device for receiving streaming data includes a broadcast or multicast middleware unit configured to receive the streaming data via a second service and a proxy unit configured to be disposed between the middleware unit and a client application, the proxy unit further configured to receive an indication of whether the streaming data is to be received via a first service or the second service, when the indication indicates that the streaming data is to be received via the first service: disable the middleware unit; and receive the streaming data via the first service, and when the indication indicates that the streaming data is to be received via the second service: activate the middleware unit to receive the streaming data via the second service, wherein the second service comprises at least one of a broadcast service or a multicast service; and receive the streaming data from the middleware unit. | 12-18-2014 |
20150081838 | Delivering Services Using Different Delivery Methods - Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable objects associated with a service available in a MBMS network to be delivered through more than one delivery method or context. In various embodiments, an application service document may map objects of a service to their respective delivery methods or contexts. In an embodiment, an application service document may also identify service area restrictions applicable to an object. In an embodiment, an application service document may further identify group restrictions applicable to an object. In a further embodiment, the application service document may identify identical and alternative objects that are available. | 03-19-2015 |
20150109987 | Unicast and Broadcast Reception Policy and Enforcement - Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable the use of a broadcast bearer (such as a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (“MBMS”) bearer), unicast bearer, or both a unicast bearer and a broadcast bearer to deliver content to a receiver device. In various embodiments, network policy governing delivery of one or more service or one or more classes of services via a unicast bearer and a broadcast bearer may be provided to one or more devices in the network. In various embodiments, network policy may be applied to the unicast or broadcast delivery selections of a service to control use of a unicast bearer and/or the broadcast bearer to provision the service. | 04-23-2015 |
20150263957 | PACKET FILTER BASED ACCESS CONTROL - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive from a base station access parameters corresponding to respective types of access controls for different types of data services, receive a TFT established at a core network based on mapping a packet filter to access control information for each type of access control, receive a data packet from an application, match the data packet to the packet filter to determine access control information corresponding to the data packet, and establish communication for the data packet based on access parameters for the determined access control information. Alternatively, the apparatus may be policy server configured to receive a request for traffic control regarding data being communicated to an application server, determine a policy update for the application server based on the request, and transmit the policy update to a UE. | 09-17-2015 |
