First Claim
Patent Images
1. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a quality of experience (QoE) reporting server to:
- receive, from a user equipment, a plurality of QoE metrics related to playback of dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH)-formatted content on the user equipment, a first QoE metric of the plurality of QoE metrics to include a stopreason parameter to indicate a switch of an access method utilized to deliver the DASH-formatted content to the user equipment as a reason why playback of the DASH-formatted content was stopped, wherein the switch of the access method being is a switch to a unicast access method or a multicast/broadcast access method, andinitiate a service provisioning adjustment to delivery of the DASH-formatted content based on the plurality of QoE metrics, wherein the service provisioning adjustment comprises transcoding the DASH-formatted content;
orwherein the service provisioning adjustment comprises changing a fault detection and correction scheme employed in the delivery of the DASH-formatted content;
orwherein the service provisioning adjustment comprises re-allocation of radio resources for managing delivery of the DASH-formatted content by the unicast access method or the multicast/broadcast access method.

-
2. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 1, wherein the service provisioning adjustment comprises changing the access method from the unicast access method to the multicast/broadcast access method or from the multicast/broadcast access method to the unicast access method.
-
3. A quality of experience (QoE) reporting server comprising:
-
means to receive, from a user equipment, a plurality of QoE metrics related to playback of dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH)-formatted content on the user equipment, a first QoE metric of the plurality of QoE metrics to include a stopreason parameter to indicate a switch of an access method utilized to deliver the DASH-formatted content to the user equipment as a reason why playback of the DASH-formatted content was stopped, wherein the switch of the access method is a switch to a unicast access method or a multicast/broadcast access method; and means to initiate a service provisioning adjustment to delivery of the DASH-formatted content based on the plurality of QoE metrics, wherein the service provisioning adjustment comprises transcoding the DASH-formatted content;
orwherein the service provisioning adjustment comprises changing a fault detection and correction scheme employed in the delivery of the DASH-formatted content;
orwherein the service provisioning adjustment comprises re-allocation of radio resources for managing delivery of the DASH-formatted content by the unicast access method or the multicast/broadcast access method.
