CONTENT DELIVERY METADATA EXCHANGE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

A wireless communication system receives device-hosted content delivery data structures that identify device-hosted media content. The wireless system transfers the data structures to a content distribution network. The wireless system receives network-hosted content delivery data structures from the content distribution network indicating network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content and real-time data-rates for the network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content. The wireless system receives the network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content. The wireless system transfers the network-hosted content delivery data structures and multicasts the network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content.

主权项

1. A method of operating a wireless communication network comprising:
wirelessly receiving device-hosted content delivery data structures that identify device-hosted media content from wireless communication devices and transferring the device-hosted content delivery data structures for delivery to a content distribution network; receiving network-hosted content delivery data structures transferred from the content distribution network indicating network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content and real-time data-rates for the network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content, wherein the real-time data-rates indicate data transfer speeds required for real-time content consumption; receiving the network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content; wirelessly transferring the network-hosted content delivery data structures from the wireless communication network; and wirelessly multicasting the network-hosted media content and the device-hosted media content from the wireless communication network.
