| 20080215704 | Transmission of Information Relating to a Quality of Service - Methods of transmitting information relating to a quality of service are shown, which information is to be transmitted in at least one direction between a first device | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090204865 | DATA REPAIR ENHANCEMENTS FOR MULTICAST/BROADCAST DATA DISTRIBUTION - A method, system, device, and computer code product is disclosed in which a sender transmits data to a plurality of receivers via a point-to-multipoint session. The receiver sends data repair requests to the sender requesting data expected but not received and the sender retransmits the expected but not received data via the point-to-multipoint session. The sender can also schedule point-to-point data repair sessions with individual receivers if the retransmission via the point-to-multipoint session does not correct all errors. The sender can be configured to delay point-to-point repair sessions using a randomization mechanism based on the number of receivers using the point-to-multipoint session. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100029266 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE REPORTING - In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method, comprising; verifying, by a user equipment, that one or more rules associated with a process of reporting quality of experience metrics are satisfied, said quality of experience metrics being associated with a multimedia telephony call; generating quality of experience metrics report, by the user equipment, according to configuration information related to the process of reporting quality of experience metrics if the rules associated with a process of reporting quality of experience method are satisfied; and sending the quality of experience metrics report to a server according to the configuration information, wherein the server is outside data links connecting the user equipment to at least another user equipment participating in the multimedia telephony service. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100135290 | USAGE OF FEEDBACK INFORMATION FOR MULTIMEDIA SESSIONS - An apparatus and method configure RTCP packets in a control feedback handling in multimedia sessions. The apparatus and method are configured to provide sending of any RTCP individual packet as a non-compound RTCP packet an order within a time interval. The apparatus and method are configured so that an excessive length of compound RTCP packets are handled by fragmenting each compound RTCP packet in smaller non-compound packets and sending it spaced over time. The apparatus and method guarantee RTCP non-compound packets to provide an equivalent functionality as the RTCP compound packets by providing the same information to the receiver, and the receiver does not lack any feedback information. The apparatus and method are also configured to use semi-compound RTCP packets, where at least two non-compound/individual RTCP packets (but less than all the non-compound/individual RTCP packets that would be sent as compound packet) are sent together as a semi-compound RTCP packet. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100153578 | Method and Apparatus for Peer to Peer Streaming - In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, An apparatus, comprising a processor configured to assign at least one of a plurality of real time transport protocol data units to at least one of at least two peer to peer partial real-time transport protocol streaming sessions, based at least in part on at least one timestamp associated with the at least one of the plurality of real time protocol data units. The plurality of real time transport protocol data units, is associated with the real time transport protocol media stream. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100329126 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING BROKEN PATH IN PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK - A method comprises (a) detecting a packet loss in a partial data packet stream in a peer-to-peer network; (b) signaling an indication of lost packets to one or more sending peers serving the partial data packet stream corresponding to the packet loss; (c) after expiration of a threshold period of time without receiving lost packets, signaling one or more candidate peers a request for retransmission of the lost packets, the candidate peers being peers not serving the partial data packet stream; and (d) receiving the lost packets through one of the candidate peers. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110211087 | METHOD AND APPARATUS PROVIDING FOR CONTROL OF A CONTENT CAPTURING DEVICE WITH A REQUESTING DEVICE TO THEREBY CAPTURE A DESIRED CONTENT SEGMENT - An apparatus providing for transmission of a desired content segment to a receiving device may include a content preview unit for displaying a content preview corresponding to a content segment captured by a content capturing device. A content capturing device selector may receive a selection of the content capturing device which satisfies one or more predefined conditions as determined by a condition testing unit of the apparatus. Once selected, a control unit may allow for control of the content capturing device with the receiving device to thereby capture a desired content segment. Control may occur directly or indirectly, such as through providing written control instructions, which may be translated using a translator of the apparatus. Thus, the apparatus may provide for transmission of the desired content segment to the receiving device. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110219307 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING MEDIA MIXING BASED ON USER INTERACTIONS - An apparatus for providing media mixing based on user interaction may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least receiving an indication of shared content to be provided to a plurality of group members, receiving social interaction media associated with at least one of the group members, and mixing the shared content with the social interaction media to provide mixed content having audio mixing performed based at least in part on a configuration of the social interaction media relative to the shared content on a display. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided. | 09-08-2011 |
