Apparatuses, methods, and systems for client steering in mesh networks are disclosed. A first access point (AP) of a network sends a quality of service (QoS) data packet to a client device. A received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the client device is captured using the QoS data packet. A distance between the AP and client device is determined using a Wi-Fi round trip time. A time and day of week is determined. Using machine learning, a second AP is identified for steering the client device to, based on the RSSI, the distance, and the time and day of week. A machine learning model is trained to steer each client device to a respective AP for increasing a throughput of the network based on features extracted from client behavior of the client devices. The second AP is connected to the client device.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus (electronic device) for media processing. In some examples, the electronic device includes a processing circuit for performing a process of a smart client, which is a client interface of the electronic device to an immersive media streaming network. The method for media processing includes transmitting, by the client interface of the electronic device, information of capabilities and availability of the electronic device for playing scene-based immersive media to a server device in the immersive media streaming network. The method further includes receiving, by the client interface, a media stream carrying adapted media content for the scene-based immersive media. The adapted media content is generated from the scene-based immersive media by the server device based on the capabilities and availability information. Then, the method includes playing the scene-based immersive media according to the adapted media content.

Improving read performance using pre-fetches by encoding an extent map provided by an application executed on a client, where the extent map identifies valid data of the file as extents that may be interspersed with holes constituting invalid data. A server-based filesystem interprets the extent map as a read receipt to bring the right extents in memory ahead of a read request. The extents of the extent map are prefetched at a prefetch read horizon. Because the client is aware of the application-resident extent map, the prefetch operations can intelligently skip over the holes. Multi-stream restores using multiple streams implemented through corresponding TCP connections between client and server are used for the read and pre-fetches.
