Embodiment Construction

[0011] A further understanding of the exemplary embodiments may be obtained by reference to the following description and the associated drawings, wherein like elements are provided with the same reference numerals. Exemplary embodiments describe ways for a user equipment (UE) to improve the user experience associated with downloading data from a remote endpoint via a network connection. Exemplary embodiments avoid the costs associated with downloading data during periods of network congestion, while making desired content available to users in a convenient manner.

[0012] Exemplary embodiments are described with respect to UEs. However, the use of UE is for illustration purposes only. The exemplary embodiments can be utilized with any electronic component that can establish a connection to a network and is configured with hardware, software and / or firmware for exchanging information and data with the network. Therefore, UE described herein is used to represent any electron...

Abstract

Manners of scheduling downloads for a user equipment (UE). The UE is configured to establish a connection to a network and receive an indication of a user-initiated download, determining whether the download is to be performed now or at a subsequent time, when the download is to be performed at the subsequent time, determine a time window during which the download is to be initiated and initiate the download during the time window.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to delayed downloads based on network congestion. Background technique [0002] A user device (UE) may establish a connection with at least one of a number of different networks or network types. When connected, the UE may download data from a remote endpoint. For example, a UE may download a video file from a server via a network connection. During periods of network congestion, for any of a number of different reasons, downloads may stall and take longer than a user might expect. Accordingly, network congestion may adversely affect user experience associated with UEs. Contents of the invention [0003] Some example embodiments relate to a method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured to establish a connection with a network. The method includes receiving an indication of a user-initiated download, determining whether the download is to be performed immediately or at a later time, and when the download is to be pe...
