  • Patent number: 12689668
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for streaming content. The embodiments described herein may apply to ABR streaming and output an optimized ABR ladder enabling a playback device to maximize the perceived video quality of received content, provide substantially constant visual quality, and/or minimize rebuffering content. The playback device may request an ABR representation associated with an ABR ladder that has been optimized based on one or more neural networks. The one or more neural networks may be pre-trained based on one or more properties and characteristics/features of the video content. The one or more neural networks may process the video content to dynamically determine parameters such as the bitrates of each ABR representation for the content. The parameters may be used to output the encoded ABR representations.

  • Patent number: 12690017
    Abstract: An access point (AP) may communicate with one or more stations (STAs). The AP may send a trigger frame to one or more STAs for allocating uplink resources for a corresponding STA. The trigger frame may indicate a presence or absence of a subsequent uplink resource allocation. Uplink resource allocations for multiple uplink transmissions of one or more STAs may be determined based on the indication(s) in the trigger frame.

  • Patent number: 12684197
    Abstract: Methods and systems for content delivery are described. A content delivery network may include a request server that receives a request for content from a client device. The request server may send the request to each caching device among a plurality of caching devices. Each caching device may receive the service query and assess its current health based on one or more parameters. Each caching device may wait for a duration of time before responding to the request based on the determined current health. The caching device that is first to respond to the request may be the caching device that has the most available resources to provide the requested content to the client device.
