Publication number: 20240040172Abstract: Systems and methods for push-based dynamic bandwidth allocation deliver addressable, advertising content in a digital network. Bandwidth is allocated on a push basis in response to receiving a trigger from a content distribution stream. The trigger contains data indicating an addressable break. A portion of bandwidth is then allocated to an addressable content stream based on the data of the trigger. The addressable content stream is then streamed to a receiver during the addressable break and the receiver is tuned from the broadcast stream to the addressable content stream for the duration of the addressable break. The additional bandwidth is de-allocated at the end of the addressable break.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Seth Haberman, Gerrit Niemeijer, Alex Jansen, Erik van de Pol, Andrew Fife
