Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide a method and apparatus for scheduling adaptive bit rate streams. Some embodiments of the method include accessing, at user equipment, a first bit rate selected from a plurality of bit rates used to encode a portion of an adaptive multimedia stream, a size of the portion of the adaptive multimedia stream, and a play out duration of the portion of the adaptive multimedia stream. Some embodiments of the method also include providing, from the user equipment, indications of the first bit rate, the size, and the play out duration.

Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus for determining tag location by using one or more estimated channel responses (CR) that characterize the wireless channel between the tag and one or more respective anchors. In particular, a tracking server in communication with the anchor(s) determines the tag's location based on a comparison of the estimated CR(s) with a set of stored CRs associated with the anchor(s).

Embodiments relate to apparatuses, methods and computer programs for a mobile transceiver, a base station transceiver and a data server. A mobile transceiver apparatus comprises means for extracting context information from an application being run on a mobile transceiver, context information from an operation system being run on the mobile transceiver, or context information from hardware drivers or hardware of the mobile transceiver, the context information comprising information on a state of the application and/or information on a state of the mobile transceiver. The apparatus further comprises means for communicating data packets with the base station transceiver, wherein the data packets comprise payload data packets and control data packets, and wherein the means for communicating is operable to communicate payload data packets associated with the application with a data server through the base station transceiver. The apparatus further comprises means for providing the context information to the base station transceiver.

The present invention refers to a method and a transmitter element () for transmitting channel information (CI) for link adaptation of a radio channel () in a wireless network (). In order to allow for reliable and efficient transfer of the channel information (CI) and to adapt the detection probability to the importance of the CI as well as to the channel stability, it is suggested that the method comprises encoding () the channel information (CI) using multi-level coding, said multi-level coding () comprising combining multiple bit sequences (c, c, . . . , cn, d), each bit sequence (c, c, . . . , cn, d) corresponding to a coding level (, . . . , n) of said multilevel coding () and assigning () one of said coding levels (, . . . , n) to at least a part (ci, ci) of the channel information (CI) such that at least a part (ci, ci) of the channel information (CI) corresponds to the bit sequence (c, c, . . . , cn) of that coding level (, . . . , n). Furthermore, the present invention refers to a method and a receiver element for receiving the transmitted channel information (CI).
