DECODING COMPLEXITY FOR MOBILE MULTIMEDIA STREAMING
First Claim
1. A method for determining a decoding complexity associated with media content, the method comprising:
- receiving decoding complexity feedback from a plurality of reference wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), wherein the decoding complexity feedback received from each reference WTRU of the plurality of reference WTRUs is associated with receiving, decoding, or displaying media content at the reference WTRU;
receiving a request for the media content; and
determining a decoding complexity associated with the media content, wherein the decoding complexity is based on the decoding complexity feedback received from the plurality of reference WTRUs.

Abstract
A decoding complexity may be used to predict power consumption for receiving, decoding, and/or displaying multimedia content at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The decoding complexity may be based on decoding complexity feedback received from a reference device, such as another WTRU. The decoding complexity feedback may be based on measurements performed at the reference device for receiving decoding, and/or displaying the multimedia content. A content providing device may indicate the decoding complexity of requested media content to a WTRU, or another network entity. The decoding complexity may be indicated in a streaming protocol or file associated with the media content. The WTRU, or other network entity, may use the decoding complexity determine its preferences regarding transmission of the media content. The content providing device may determine whether to transmit the media content based on the decoding complexity and/or the preferences of the WTRU or other network entity.
