METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING BROADCAST MEDIA SERVICES IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method, including routing, by a system comprising a processor, session status information from a content server to a first media gateway device, the first media gateway device initiating first communicative couplings according to the session status information for transmission of a first media stream from the content server to a group of wireless communication nodes over a multicast-broadcast single frequency network. A loss of operating performance of the first media gateway device may be detected and the session status information re-routed from the content server to a second media gateway device responsive to the detecting of the loss of operating performance of the first media gateway device, the second media gateway device initiating second communicative couplings according to the session status information for transmission of the first media stream from the content server to the group of wireless communication nodes to enable distribution to a group of end user devices. Other embodiments are disclosed.
