Arranging content for broadcast in a wireless communication system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of arranging content for broadcast in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- receiving a request for content associated with content characteristics from a plurality of wireless devices each associated with a user profile;
generating a plurality of content for each of the plurality of wireless devices according to the associated user profile;
determining a similarity criteria for the plurality of content based on the content characteristics for each of the plurality of content;
arranging the plurality of content according to the content characteristics for broadcasting to the plurality of wireless devices in a multicast transmission, wherein arranging the content comprises ordering the plurality of content from most similar to least similar according to the determined similarity criteria;
scheduling a first content and a second content in a first time slot for broadcasting to at least two of the plurality of wireless devices in a multicast transmission when the similarity criteria for the first content and the second content meets a similarity threshold, wherein the multicast scheduling is performed prior to transmitting the first content and the second content;
scheduling a third content in the first time slot for unicasting to one of the plurality of wireless devices in a unicast transmission when the similarity criteria for the third content fails to meet a similarity threshold, wherein the unicast scheduling is performed prior to transmitting the third content;
transmitting the scheduled multicast transmission and the scheduled unicast transmission over the first time slot; and
predicting future content having similarity criteria based on the arranged plurality of content, the user profiles, and a location for at least one wireless device that received one of the multicast or unicast transmission.

Abstract
In systems and methods of arranging content for broadcast in a wireless communication system, a request is received from a plurality of wireless devices, each associated with a user profile, for content associated with content characteristics. A plurality of content for each of the plurality of wireless devices is generated according to the associated user profile. The plurality of content is arranged according to the content characteristics for broadcasting to the plurality of wireless devices in a multicast transmission.

8. A processing node of a wireless communication system, the processing node comprising:
-
a processor and a communication interface, wherein the processing node is configured to; receive a request for content associated with content characteristics from a plurality of wireless devices each associated with a user profile; generate a plurality of content for each of the plurality of wireless devices according to the associated user profile; determine a similarity criteria for the plurality of content based on the content characteristics for each of the plurality of content; and arrange the plurality of content according to the content characteristics for broadcasting to the plurality of wireless devices in a multicast transmission, wherein arranging the content comprises ordering the plurality of content from most similar to least similar according to the determined similarity criteria; schedule a first content and a second content in a first time slot for broadcasting to at least two of the plurality of wireless devices in a multicast transmission when the similarity criteria for the first content and the second content meets a similarity threshold, wherein the broadcast scheduling is performed prior to transmitting the first content and the second content; schedule a third content in the first time slot for unicasting to one of the plurality of wireless devices in a unicast transmission when the similarity criteria for the third content fails to meet a similarity threshold, wherein the unicast scheduling is performed prior to transmitting the third content; and transmit the scheduled multicast transmission and the scheduled unicast transmission over the first time slot; and predict future content having similarity criteria based on the arranged plurality of content, the user profiles, and a location for at least one wireless device that received one of the multicast or unicast transmission. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
