Embodiment Construction

[0040] refer to figure 1 , figure 1 A network configuration operating in accordance with the present invention is shown. UE 1, in this case an IPTV UE (eg set top box plus display) connects to the network to receive data from the network. UE1 is equipped with a storage device, such as a solid-state memory, a hard disk or the like, so that data received from the network can be stored locally on UE1. The storage device may be integrated or connected locally via a hard link associated with the UE, wirelessly or by other means. Although only a single UE 1 is shown, it should be understood that there are typically many UEs connected to the network with network resources shared among the UEs.

[0041] The network is NGN (Next Generation Network), that is, a network designed to use IP and QoS (Quality of Service) technology to support all customer service types, where customer service types include but not limited to voice, data and video, which makes various Various IP-based c...

Abstract

A multimedia delivery network, comprising network resource allocation means for allocating bandwidth to a network session between a UE (user equipment) device on the network and a delivery server, wherein the allocation means is adapted to reserve a nominal bandwidth for the network session when the session is opened, which permits delivery of data from the delivery server to the UE at a nominal service rate, and wherein the delivery server is adapted to increase the bandwidth of the session, to a higher bandwidth once the session has been opened, so as to permit delivery of data from the delivery server to the UE at a burst delivery rate higher than the nominal rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the optimization of bandwidth usage in delivery networks. In particular, the present invention relates to media delivery networks in which network resources reserved for a network session vary according to available network resources. The invention can be applied to on-demand multimedia delivery, gaming, content sharing or other services requiring quality of service. Background technique [0002] In order to provide competitive service quality, retain existing customers and attract new customers, IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and a growing number of OTT (over the top) service providers rely on the QoS (Quality of Service) provided by the delivery network, to deliver media content and services. Examples of such services include IPTV video on demand, video from Internet video sharing sites, and broadband TV, all of which can be delivered over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Quality of Service (QoS) is required t...
