A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus establishes a file delivery session with a server in a broadcast network for system information. The apparatus also receives a plurality of metadata fragments in the file delivery session. The plurality of metadata fragments including at least one initialization segment description fragment, wherein the at least one initialization segment description fragment is associated with at least one media segment transmitted in another file delivery session.

Method and apparatus for transport of dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) initialization segment description fragments as user service description fragments

A system and methods for determining whether to participate in reception reporting procedures for an eMBMS service. Multiple applications on a receiver device can consume the same file download or streaming eMBMS service, and can have conflicting opt in/opt out settings for reporting in middleware. Algorithms are provided that take into account the different opt statuses of applications, and allow middleware components to determine whether to log reception metrics for a service and/or whether a reception report should be uploaded after a service session of the service.

Systems, apparatus and methods provide an automatic capability for generating interactivity event applications for execution on receiver devices within a broadcast network based upon interactivity event application data, information and sequence logic. Interactivity event content providers may provide to a broadcast network interactivity event application data, event metadata information and sequence logic a broadcast network. Interactivity resources for interactivity sequences associated with one or more real-time channels are broadcast over the broadcast network such that the resources share a file data flow, or such that they can be carried on separate file data flows. File data flow identifiers and overhead flow identifiers are indicated in the Service SI. Interactivity signaling messages for interactivity sequences associated with one or more real times channels are broadcast on auxiliary flows.

Notification of interactivity event asset delivery sources in a mobile broadcast communication system

Embodiments provide bandwidth efficient mechanisms for delivering data to a receiver device via a wireless broadcast network such that data may be assembled in the receiver device for use by a local application. In the various embodiments, data files may be broadcast as content elements via the broadcast network using the FLUTE protocol during a FLUTE session. In an embodiment, the content elements may be broadcast according to a broadcast schedule that may identify a time at which the content elements will be broadcast and the broadcast schedule may be communicated in a file delivery table (FDT) transmitted during a FLUTE session.

System and apparatus for using multichannel file delivery over unidirectional transport ('FLUTE') protocol for delivering different classes of files in a broadcast network

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a plurality of data sets in a first FLUTE session. Each data set of the data sets includes an identifier and a target area associated with a broadcast. The apparatus receives a broadcast and an identifier associated with the broadcast in a second FLUTE session. The apparatus determines the target area associated with the received broadcast based on the identifier received with the received broadcast. The apparatus determines whether to keep the received broadcast based on whether a criterion associated with the target area is satisfied.

Application transport level location filtering of internet protocol multicast content delivery

The various embodiments enable a mobile device to determine the available services in a broadcast network based on an augmented coverage configuration file. In the various embodiments, the augmented coverage configuration file correlates the services for overlapping cells on different frequency carriers enabling the mobile device to determine the available services without having to scan additional frequency carriers.

Determination of available services in a broadcast network

Methods, systems and devices provide mechanisms and systems for efficiently delivering files over a broadcast system to mobile devices. Files for broadcast may be logically identified as belonging to a directory in a file system. A Broadcast Schedule Message may inform receiver devices of files that will be broadcast at a specified time, as well as describe the files. File may be transmitted in file delivery pipes, which may be of different bandwidth and data rates. Receiver devices configured according to the embodiments may make use of the broadcast schedule message to select files to be received based on the service or application with which the file is associated, and whether the file is new or an update to a previously received file. Receiver devices activate receiver circuitry to capture the files within their advertised broadcast window, and pass the received files to applications or services requesting the files.
