Technique for scheduling transmission of content in an access network
First Claim
1. An object scheduler for scheduling transmission of content in an access network, wherein the content is provided by a content server for download to a user equipment (UE), the object scheduler comprising:
- at least one memory storing program code; and
at least one processor configured to execute the program code, wherein execution of the program code configures the processor to;
schedule, in response to receipt of a privilege request from the UE requesting privileged transmission of content comprising a plurality of objects, transmission of the plurality of objects to the UE, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of objects is scheduled with a higher priority than a default priority assigned by the object scheduler to the UE;
schedule a remaining portion of the plurality of objects with the default priority no earlier than when a predetermined minimum period of time has elapsed after receiving the privilege request; and
trigger transmission of the scheduled plurality of objects to the UE.

Abstract
A technique for enhancing presentation of content comprising a plurality of objects in an access network (201) is disclosed. An object scheduler (2002) for scheduling transmission of content in an access network (201) comprises at least one memory storing program code and at least one processor configured to execute the program code. The content is provided for download to a user equipment, UE, (2001) from a content server. The program code is configured to cause the processor to schedule (S2-2), in response to receipt (S2-1) of a privilege request from the UE (2001) requesting privileged transmission of content comprising a plurality of objects, transmission of the plurality of objects to the UE (2001), and to trigger transmission (S2-3) of the scheduled plurality of objects to the UE (2001). At least a portion of the plurality of objects is scheduled with a higher priority than a default priority assigned by the object scheduler (2002) to the UE (2001).

8. A user equipment (UE) for enhancing presentation of received content, the UE comprising:
-
at least one presentation interface; at least one memory storing program code; and at least one processor configured to execute the program code, wherein execution of the program code configures the processor to; trigger sending of a download request to a content server requesting download of a content comprising a plurality of objects; trigger sending of a privilege request to an object scheduler of an access network requesting privileged transmission of the content; trigger sending the privilege request at a presentation start time of the content if a loading status of the content is not yet in an interactive state; and present the received content via the presentation interface, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of objects is received with a higher priority than a default priority assigned by the object scheduler to the UE. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for scheduling transmission of content, the method being performed in an object scheduler of an access network and comprising:
-
receiving a privilege request from a user equipment (UE), requesting privileged transmission of a content comprising a plurality of objects, the content being downloaded to the UE from a content server; scheduling the plurality of objects to be transmitted to the UE, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of objects is scheduled with a higher priority than a default priority assigned by the object scheduler to the UE; scheduling a remaining portion of the plurality of objects with the default priority no earlier than when a predetermined minimum period of time has elapsed after receiving the privilege request; and transmitting the scheduled plurality of objects to the UE.
