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.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for controlling multimedia data transmission to a communication device via a network. The system comprises a de-muxer configured to obtain a first multimedia data for transmission and a flow controller configured to evaluate an estimated buffer time associated with the communication device. If the estimated buffer time satisfies a first threshold condition, the flow controller updates a current transmitting state to be a pacing state. And if the estimated buffer time satisfies a second threshold condition, the flow controller updates the current transmitting state to be a bursting state. The system also comprises a muxer configured to transmit the first multimedia data at a transmitting rate corresponding to the bursting state or the pacing state.

Abstract: Methods and systems for indexing content in a cache data structure within a content cache are disclosed. The methods and systems identify at least one characterization data associated with a received content request and input the at least one characterization data into a hash function to generate an index that is used for identifying an entry associated with the requested content in the cache data structure. The at least one characterization data may include a portion of content associated with the received content request, a portion of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) associated with the received content request, an IP address associated with the received content request, the length of the content associated with the received content request, and one or more parameters parsed from the URL associated with the received content request.
