Embodiment Construction

[0048] In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as a particular network topology including particular network nodes, communication protocols, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. For example, the skilled person will realize that the present invention may be implemented with different (subjective) perceptual quality measures than the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) used below to illustrate the present invention. Furthermore, although examples will be explained below with respect to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming, other streaming technologies may alternatively or additionally be used. Likewise, the invention can be implemented in any network to which mobile or fixed users can attach. For example, in addition...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to techniques for regulating the download of one or more adjustable content streams provided by a server (200) in a network for streaming one or more content streams to one or more clients (100a, 100b) and each of the one or more content streams includes a plurality of content segments. A method embodiment comprises the steps of: generating a manifest file comprising one or more media bitrate candidates, each of said one or more media bitrate candidates indicating an encoded media data rate for a content segment of one or more content streams , wherein the media data rate candidates are generated by considering the perceived quality of one or more content streams; and by based on the available data rates between the server (200) and the one or more clients (100a, 100b) for downloading content segments At least one of the one or more media data rate candidates is adjusted to manipulate the manifest file.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of content streaming. More specifically, the present invention relates to techniques for modulating the download of one or more streams of adjustable content. Background technique [0002] Streaming technology is used to deliver media (eg, multimedia) provided by a streaming provider to an end user such that the media is continuously received by and presented to the end user. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming is a mechanism for sending data from a web server to a web browser. HTTP streaming (also known as HTTP server push (push) or push technology) can be achieved through several mechanisms. [0003] Adaptive HTTP streaming is becoming the dominant content streaming technology. Adaptive streaming (or adaptive bitrate streaming) is a technique used in streaming multimedia over a network, such as a computer network. Today's adaptive streaming technologies are almost exclusively based on ...
