5GMS Content Preparation Templates for Just-in-Time Streaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies in 5G networks lack clear definitions and processes for content preparation templates, particularly for just-in-time content preparation, which hinders efficiency and computational overhead reduction.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves creating and using content preparation templates that include instructions for content preparation and output, enabling Application Providers to direct the content preparation process. This includes establishing provisioning sessions, allocating resources, and modifying content based on the templates for both uplink and downlink streaming in 5GMS networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If content preparation is performed in advance in 5G networks, then content distribution efficiency is improved, but network computational overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary content preparation actions by creating content preparation templates that define preparation instructions and output characteristics. These templates are established in advance but the actual content processing is deferred until needed, allowing the system to prepare the framework without immediately incurring computational costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The content preparation system dynamically adjusts its operation based on real-time network conditions and content delivery requirements. The templates enable flexible content preparation that can be activated or modified as needed, rather than following a static predetermined process, thus optimizing the balance between efficiency and computational overhead.
2Reliability
If content preparation templates are standardized in 5G networks, then process reliability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The content preparation template is segmented into distinct components: preparation instructions that define processing operations and output characteristics that specify the desired result format. This segmentation allows each component to be independently defined and managed, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliability through standardized interfaces between components.
Solution Approach 2:
The content preparation template is designed as a universal structure that can be applied across multiple content types and delivery scenarios in 5G networks. By creating a multi-functional template system that handles various content preparation needs through a common framework, the patent reduces the need for multiple specialized systems, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining broad applicability and reliability.

AI summary
A method of directing content preparation for a 5G media streaming (5GMS) network performed by at least one processor implementing a 5GMS application provider, the method comprising creating a content preparation template, by the 5GMS application provider, wherein the content preparation template includes first information specifying instructions for content preparation, and second information specifying instructions for content output; establishing a first provisioning session with a 5GMS application function; transmitting the content preparation template to the 5GMS application function in the first provisioning session, wherein the 5GMS application function requests to allocate 5GMS content preparation resources and 5GMS content distribution resources; and receiving a first acknowledgement from the 5GMS application function, wherein the first acknowledgement indicates an allocation of at least one of content preparation resources and content distribution resources.
