Abstract: Systems and methods are described for delivering content to a mobile client device. Journey data is determined, indicating a path to be travelled by the client device. Edge servers are identified based on the journey data, each configured to deliver content to the client device as the client device travels along the path and is located within a local range thereof. An upcoming movement into a local range of a first edge server is predicted based on the journey data. Content to be delivered to the client device is determined, the content associated with the local range of the first edge server. Storage of the content at a second edge server, before the first edge server along the path, is caused. The content is delivered by the second edge server to the client device while the client device is within a local range of the second edge server.

Abstract: A method includes setting, in response to a state variable being in a first state, a timeout period for an IO thread to acquire a read lock, the state variable being used for indicating an execution state of a control flow associated with data synchronization, and the first state indicating that the control flow is executing the data synchronization. The method further includes setting the state variable to a second state in response to not acquiring the read lock within the timeout period. In addition, the method further includes executing the data synchronization by utilizing the IO thread. Therefore, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, by managing a state variable, an IO thread attempts to acquire a lock only when a control flow performs data synchronization, thereby reducing the lock usage frequency and synchronization overhead.

Abstract: An interactive-experience source generates a picture following a change in an interactive session and estimates a quantization parameter for at least a portion of that picture. An encoded picture size is determined and used with an encoder frame rate to predict an encoding bitrate. A current variable bitrate of a connection to a client device is measured and compared with the predicted encoding bitrate. When the predicted encoding bitrate exceeds the available connection bitrate, the method increases the quantization parameter to raise compression and then encodes the picture using the increased value. This adaptive adjustment enables the system to regulate per-frame bitrate based on real-time network conditions and maintain stable delivery of encoded pictures to the client device.
