Methods and apparatuses for dynamic content offloading
First Claim
1. A client device, the client device comprising:
- at least one memory;
at least one processor operably connected to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to;
receive, from a server, a configuration to utilize content offloading using an open mobile alliance device management (OMA DM) message; and
based on the configuration, determine whether to send a request to a proxy server for the content offloading, or not for one or more data files; and
at least one interface configured to receive a redirection message during a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) session, the redirection message redirecting the client device to receive the one or more data files based on the received configuration through a broadcast channel if the content offloading is available for the one or more data files, wherein a transmission channel for the one or more data files is different from a transmission channel of the redirection message.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for dynamic content offloading are provided. For example, a method includes sending, by a client device, a request for one or more data files and receiving a redirection message redirecting the client device to receive the one or more data files through a broadcast channel if offloading is available for the one or more data files. As another example, a method a method includes configuring a client device to utilize offloading and dynamically redirecting the client device to a broadcast channel to receive a transmission of one or more data files in response to (i) receiving a request from the client device for the one or more data files, (ii) determining that offloading to the broadcast channel is appropriate for the one or more data files, and (iii) determining that the client device is configured to utilize offloading.

11. A server comprising:
at least one processor configured to; transmit, to a client device, a configuration to utilize content offloading using an open mobile alliance device management (OMA DM) message; and transmit, to the client device, a redirection message during a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) session; and dynamically redirect content to the client device being served in the MBMS session over a broadcast channel to receive one or more data files included in the content based on the transmitted configuration in response to; receive a request from the client device for the one or more data files; determine that the content offloading to the broadcast channel is appropriate for the one or more data files; and determine that the client device is configured to utilize the content offloading, wherein a transmission channel for the one or more data files is different from a transmission channel of the redirection message. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
transmitting, to a client device, a configuration to utilize content offloading using an open mobile alliance device management (OMA DM) message; and transmitting, to the client device, a redirection message during a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) session; and dynamically redirecting content to the client device being served in the MBMS session over a broadcast channel to receive one or more data files included in the content based on the transmitted configuration in response to; receive a request from the client device for the one or more data files; determine that the content offloading to the broadcast channel is appropriate for the one or more data files; and determine that the client device is configured to utilize the content offloading, wherein a transmission channel for the one or more data files is different from a transmission channel of the redirection message. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
