RESILIENT SERVICE QUALITY IN A MANAGED MULTIMEDIA DELIVERY NETWORK
First Claim
1. Managed multimedia delivery network for providing a multimedia service with resilient service quality, comprising:
- a plurality of caching nodes for caching multimedia data segments;
an edge caching node for colleting requested multimedia data segments from the caching nodes and for serving a user equipment with the collected multimedia data; and
a service gateway for providing cache information to the edge caching node indicating how to obtain the requested multimedia data segments from the caching nodes,wherein the edge caching node comprises a service quality monitoring unit for monitoring the collection of the data segments from the caching nodes and for requesting cache information from the service gateway when the collection of data segments impacts the service quality.

Abstract
A managed multimedia delivery network (1) for providing a multimedia service with resilient service quality is disclosed. The network comprising a plurality of caching nodes (3) for caching multimedia data segments; an edge caching node (4) for colleting requested multimedia data segments from the caching nodes (3) and for serving a user equipment (2) with the collected multimedia data; and a service gateway (5) for providing cache information to the edge caching node (4) indicating how to obtain the requested multimedia data segments from the caching nodes (3). The edge caching node (4) comprises a service quality monitoring unit for monitoring the collection of the data segments from the caching nodes (3) and for requesting cache information from the service gateway (5) when the collection of data segments impacts the service quality.

7. Method for providing a multimedia service with resilient service quality on a managed multimedia delivery network comprising a plurality of multimedia data caching nodes, the method comprising the steps performed by an edge caching node:
-
collecting multimedia data segments from a subset of the caching nodes for delivery to a user equipment; monitoring the collection of the data segments from the caching nodes; and requesting data collection information from a service gateway when the collection of data segments impacts the service quality of the multimedia service; and
the steps performed by the service gateway;evaluating available resources at the caching nodes for transmitting the requested data segments to the edge caching node; and providing data collection information to the edge caching node indicating alternative caching nodes for improving the service quality. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
