METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSITIONS OF BROADCAST DASH SERVICE RECEPTIONS BETWEEN UNICAST AND BROADCAST
First Claim
1. A method operable by a mobile entity for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- receiving a media presentation description (MPD), the MPD comprising parameters for reception of data segments for multiple representations of content via broadcast transmission and unicast transmission;
determining whether the broadcast transmission or the unicast transmission is appropriate for reception of the data segments;
selecting a given representation from among the multiple representations of the content based on a criteria of the mobile entity; and
receiving the data segments for the given representation based at least in part on the parameters for the determined one of the broadcast transmission and the unicast transmission.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for receiving one or more representations of content wirelessly. The method may involve receiving a media presentation description (MPD) that includes parameters for reception of data segments for multiple representations of content via broadcast transmission and unicast transmission. The method may involve determining whether the broadcast transmission or the unicast transmission is appropriate for reception of the data segments, and selecting a given representation from among the multiple representations of the content based on a criteria of the mobile entity. The method may involve receiving the data segments for the given representation based at least in part on the parameters for the determined one of the broadcast transmission and the unicast transmission.
