METHOD AND SYSTEM OF QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) NEGOTIATION FOR NETWORK ASSISTED ADAPTIVE STREAMING

摘要

Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide for methods and systems of QoS negotiation for services like network assisted adaptive streaming. The QoS reservation determination is based on both a QoS policy of a network service provider and a QoS policy of a content service provider. For example, the content service provider provides a video streaming service. The QoS reservation can include a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) and/or a maximum bit rate (MBR). The QoS reservation can be used to select a representation of a media file for adaptive streaming.
