CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK REQUEST HANDLING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless communication network to serve media content to a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- the wireless communication network receiving registration notices for the wireless communication device from multiple Downstream Content Delivery Networks (dCDNs) responsive to the wireless communication device registering with the multiple dCDNs;
the wireless communication network receiving CDN signaling from an Upstream Content Delivery Network (uCDN) for delivery to one of the multiple dCDNs responsive to the wireless communication device registering with the uCDN; and
the wireless communication network selecting one of the multiple dCDNs for the wireless communication device and transferring the CDN signaling from the uCDN for delivery to the selected one of the multiple dCDNs, wherein the uCDN transfers media content to the dCDN and the dCDN transfers the media content to the wireless communication device.

Abstract
A wireless communication network serves media content to a wireless communication device. The wireless communication network receives registration notices for the wireless communication device from Downstream Content Delivery Networks (dCDNs) when the wireless communication device registers with the dCDNs. The wireless communication network receives CDN signaling from an Upstream Content Delivery Network (uCDN) for one of the multiple dCDNs when the wireless communication device registers with the uCDN. The wireless communication network selects one of the dCDNs for the wireless communication device. The wireless communication network transfers the CDN signaling to the selected one of the dCDNs. The uCDN transfers media content to the dCDN and the dCDN transfers the media content to the wireless communication device.
