Abstract: A system (1, 21) for obtaining samples for a dynamic resource management system in a wireless network is configured to analyze (101) data for a dynamic resource management system to determine one or more combinations of input values which are not present or underrepresented in the data. The dynamic resource management system uses supervised learning to estimate resource demand. The system is further configured to adjust (103) one or more flow characteristics of a data flow between a user device and a base station to obtain one of the combinations of input values, determine a quantity of resources used for the data flow and actual state and/or cell characteristics relevant to the data flow, create a new sample based on the used quantity of resources, the adjusted flow characteristics, and the actual state and/or cell characteristics, and store the new sample in the data.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for receiving, at a first media content packager, a request for at least one of an index file of media segments or a media segment; creating, in response to the request for an index file, an index file comprising a plurality of universal resource locators (URLs); and sending, from the media content packager an error message when at least one of: (i) in response to a request for an index file, the created index file is determined to comprise media segments that have previously been sent from a media packager, or (ii) in response to a request for a media segment, at least one of the URLs in the index file references media content that is not available on the first packager, or a media segment is incomplete, wherein sending the error message results in receiving the request at a second media content packager.
