Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable a receiver device to use a modified segment availability time. In various embodiments, a receiver device may be enabled to modify availability start times for segments in a segment availability timeline, such as a Media Presentation Description (MPD), to account for the actual times when segments will be available to a DASH client.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods implemented by a processor of a mobile communication device for managing tune-aways by a radio frequency resource supporting a first subscription to support a second subscription. The processor may determine a data loss ratio of the data of a media file that is lost in transmission to the mobile communication device. The processor may compare the data loss ratio of the data to a first data loss ratio threshold and a second data loss ratio threshold, and the processor may block a tune-away event of the radio frequency resource from the first subscription to the second subscription in response to determining that the data loss ratio of the data is greater than the first data loss ratio threshold and less than the second data loss ratio threshold.

Abstract: Distributed computing is disclosed in which a client device accesses a service announcement for a broadcast service in order to retrieve transport parameters describing a data transmission service. The client device obtains a refresh rate from the service description file, which is separate from the data transmission service, wherein the refresh rate relates to a frequency at which the data transmission service updates data in a data transmission provided by the data transmission service. The client device uses the transport parameters to access the data transmission to receive the data. Once the data is received, the client device will delay any subsequent access to the data transmission to get updated data for a delay time based at least in part on the refresh rate.

Abstract: Dynamic forward error correction (FEC) setting is discussed in which the network determines a FEC percentage for each video segment of a video streaming service, based on consideration of the transfer length of the video segment and the allocated bandwidth. When the transfer length and allocated bandwidth reflect transmission of less than peak bandwidth, the network will determine a higher FEC percentage that uses the otherwise wasted bandwidth to transmit additional redundancy symbols. The additional redundancy symbols increase the error recovery rate when collisions occur between streaming video reception and page monitoring occasions of other networks in multi-network, multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) mobile devices. A network entity may then transmit the dynamic FEC percentage for each video segment in the file description table (FDT) associated with the video streaming service.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines a timing of each of one or more audio transmissions of one or more audio segments through Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) streaming via a first radio access technology (RAT), where the MBMS streaming includes the one or more audio segments and one or more video segments. The apparatus refrains from tuning away from the first RAT to a second RAT during at least one audio transmission of the one or more audio transmissions, the second RAT being different than the first RAT.

Abstract: In one example, a client device for receiving media data includes a streaming client and a middleware unit. The middleware unit is configured to receive a first portion of data of a current segment of media data, wherein file delivery information for the current segment indicates that transmission of the data for the current segment will end at a first time, determine, prior to the first time, that a remaining portion of the data of the current segment will not be received, and, based on the determination, deliver at least some of the first portion of data to the streaming client.

Abstract: In one example, a device for retrieving media data includes a middleware unit configured to determine a first set of one or more services available via a first network of a first type, determine a second set of one or more services available via a second network of a second type, wherein the second network is different than the first network, produce an aggregate list of services including the first set of services and the second set of services such that the aggregate list does not identify the first network and does not identify the second network, receive a selection of a service from the aggregate list of services, and retrieve media data of the selected service from either the first network or the second network.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be an eMBMS middleware. The apparatus receives a request to activate reception of an eMBMS service. The apparatus receives a request for a segment associated with the eMBMS service. The apparatus determines whether the segment of the eMBMS service is available at the eMBMS middleware. The apparatus fetches the segment from the unicast server if the segment is not available at the eMBMS middleware.
