Methods for dynamically assigning a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) bearer to a Multicast Channel (MCH) in a communication network include a logical server: receiving a MBMS configuration for the communication network; receiving a request for a MBMS bearer within a service area, wherein the request specifies a QoS requirement for the MBMS bearer; inspecting the MBMS configuration to determine if an existing MCH in the service area meets the QoS requirement for the MBMS bearer; based on the inspecting, assigning the MBMS bearer to the existing MCH or assigning the MBMS bearer to a new MCH.

A method to detect audio frame losses over a link to a device under test (DUT), such as a User Equipment (UE), includes preparing an input sequence, combining the input sequence into an input audio signal, submitting the input audio signal to an encoder, transporting the encoded signal over the link, obtaining a continuous output audio signal from decoding the transported signal, decomposing the continuous output audio signal into an output sequence, and determining one or more lost frames based on a comparison of one or more characteristics of the input sequence and the output sequence. Preparing the input sequence can include preparing a sequence of a plurality of input snippets, each input snippet having one or more audio characteristics, the preparing such that consecutive input snippets have one or more audio characteristics that differ by a predetermined measure.

A method, a base station, an application server and a mobile device for transmitting and receiving media content are disclosed. A transceivermay receive a unicast transmission specification and a broadcast transmission specification for the media content. A processormay determine if a broadcast transmission for the media content is available. The processormay initiate a unicast reception mode to receive the media content based on the unicast transmission specification if the current broadcast transmission is not available. A memorymay store the broadcast transmission specification for later reception of the media content in a broadcast reception mode if the current broadcast transmission is not available.

An automated method for testing audio signal quality of cell phone transmissions provides a Mean Opinion Score (MOS) output using inexpensive test components. The test system uses a server computer to eliminate the need for expensive faders used in a bench test system. The server computer manipulates data packets from the reference media file to simulate impairments, including losses, errors, noise and jitter, at a much lower cost than using actual faders. Transmission through two separate radio access networks RANs is provided to simulate two parties communicating using separate mobile devices (an end-to-end test solution) with a single cell phone.

A method to measure a brightness response of a camera comprises obtaining a plurality of brightness measurements and determining for one or more of the plurality of brightness measurements a captured brightness of the captured image. Obtaining each of the plurality of brightness measurements includes presenting to the camera at least one test sample having known brightness, capturing via the camera an image of the at least one test sample, and presenting to the camera at least one compensation sample having compensating brightness selected based on the known brightness of the at least one test sample. The at least one test sample and the at least one compensation sample are selectable and presentable in combination such that an average exposure interpreted by the camera is substantially the same for each of the plurality of brightness measurements.

A method to control a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) mode of a MBMS session in a communication system is provided herein. In operation, a first network element that is located outside a radio access network determines to use one of a single frequency network MBMS mode and a single cell MBMS mode for the MBMS session based on a property of the MBMS session. The first network element then transmits a session control signaling message to a second network element that is located inside the radio access network. The session control signaling message instructs the second network element that user plane data for the MBMS session shall be transmitted using the determined MBMS mode. The base stations then transmit the user plane data to one or user equipments in a target service area according to the determined MBMS mode.
