A wireless communication network () can employ techniques for the network () to indicate specific radio access characteristics to be used by a user equipment () 5 when responding to a paging message. The network () can indicate a specific radio access technology (RAT) that the UE () should use when connecting to the network (). In this manner, the UE () can initiate a connection using the desired RAT rather than first initiating a connection with an incorrect RAT and performing a handover or network reconfiguration.

System and method for communicating radio access technology characteristics

The media production element () combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element () can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device () can determine event-coordinated uplink network assistance data with the goal of prioritizing resource allocation to clients/electronic devices that currently are used for the combined media production, and assign less resources to those that are not currently used. Rather than optimizing individual links, the event-coordinated uplink network assistance data is determined by taking the aggregated capacity and the production needs of the media production element () into account.

Network controlled uplink media transmission for a collaborative media production in network capacity constrained scenarios

The media production element combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device can provide feedback to the media production element regarding network conditions for the electronic devices that are registered to an event. Such feedback can prevent bad network connections from affecting the final media production by helping the media production element to decide which data stream to use in the production and when to switch from an electronic device that can be on its way to losing optimum radio conditions.

Method and system for utilizing network conditions feedback for improving quality of a collaborative media production

The media production element combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device can receive priority information from the media production element and determine event-coordinated uplink network assistance data based on an event priority assignment corresponding to the event or an individual priority assignment corresponding to a particular device registered to the event with the goal of prioritizing resource allocation to clients/electronic devices that currently are used for the combined media production, and assigning less resources to those that are not currently used or have a lower priority.
