  • Publication number: 20110283015
    Abstract: A method including receiving a receiver report from a terminal; estimating one or more network conditions of a media network based at least in part on the receiver report; determining an optimal session bitrate based on the estimated one or more network conditions; and providing media data to the terminal based on the optimal session bitrate.

  • Publication number: 20110283012
    Abstract: A method including providing pseudo-streaming media data to a terminal; receiving a transport control protocol (TCP) acknowledgement from the terminal; estimating one or more network conditions of a network based at least in part on the TCP acknowledgement; determining an optimal session bitrate based on the estimated one or more network conditions; and providing pseudo-streaming media data to the terminal based on the optimal session bitrate.

  • Publication number: 20110090953
    Abstract: A method includes receiving streaming media data having a media frame and a frame index referencing the media frame; allocating a frame budget for an output media frame by estimating a frame size of the output media frame based on the frame index; generating the output media frame in real-time by processing the media frame based on first processing parameters and, if the allocated frame budget is greater than a frame size of the processed media frame, padding the processed media frame; and providing the output media frame.

  • Publication number: 20100254451
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an encoded video frame, decompressing the received encoded video frame, extracting a first quantization parameter (QP) from the decompressed video frame, and acquiring a delta QP based on the first QP. The method also includes acquiring a second QP based on the delta QP and the first QP, compressing the decompressed video frame based on the second QP, and providing the compressed video frame. The first QP corresponds to quantization settings originally used for compressing the encoded video frame. And the second QP corresponds to quantization settings for compressing the decompressed video frame.

  • Publication number: 20100205318
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method including receiving streaming media, wherein the streaming media is requested by a media player at a mobile device; retrieving timing information from the streaming media, wherein the timing information corresponds to real-time playback rate on the media player; framing the streaming media based on the real-time playback rate on the media player; scheduling transmission of the framed streaming media based on the framing, and transmitting the framed streaming media to the media player according to the schedule.

  • Publication number: 20080139191
    Abstract: A system includes a mobile device and an optimization server. The mobile device is capable of transmitting request data that includes a requested webpage and identification data. The optimization server is configured to receive response data that corresponds to the request data from a content server, to adapt the response data based on the identification data, and to transmit the adapted response data to the mobile device.
