The disclosure relates to technology for a 360 degree video stream in a network. A network round trip time (RTT) is measured for a requested FoV of the 360 degree video stream, where the RTT indicates a time interval between sending a FoV interest message and receiving a response message in reply to the requested FoV. The network bandwidth is measured for the requested FoV of the 360 degree video stream, where the measured network bandwidth represents an amount of data the network transmits in the response message. A future FoV of the 360 degree video stream is then determined based on the requested FoV, the measured network bandwidth and the measured network RTT, and a video stream is prefecthced for the future FoV of the 360 degree video stream.

Combined method for data rate and field of view size adaptation for virtual reality and 360 degree video streaming

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for enabling cross-layer receiver oriented dynamic multicast in cellular access. The method includes receiving an information-centric networking content-identifier (ICN-CID) from an application. The method generates a content medium access control identifier (CMAC-ID) using the ICN-CID. The CMAC-ID maps the ICN-CID to a medium access control (MAC) layer.

Enabling cross-layer receiver oriented dynamic multicast in cellular access

Aspects of the disclosure provide an electronic device that includes interface circuits and processing circuitry. The interface circuits are configured to receive and transmit signals carrying packets. The processing circuitry is configured to detect that a received packet includes an Internet protocol (IP) header and an extension header to the IP header and the extension header carries an identifier of an information centric networking (ICN) technology. Further, the processing circuitry is configured to extract the identifier from the extension header, and process the received packet based on the identifier according to the ICN technology. Aspects of the disclosure provide another electronic device that is configured to generate a packet with an IP header (e.g., IPv6 header) and an extension header that carries an identifier of an ICN technology and transmit the packet.

Method and apparatus for incremental deployment of information centric network

A network element (NE) includes a receiver configured to receive an Information-Centric Media Access Control (i-MAC) frame, a processor operably coupled to the receiver and configured to determine whether an i-MAC table includes routing information for the i-MAC Based Frame, and a transmitter operably coupled to the processor and configured to route the i-MAC Based Frame based on the i-MAC table when the i-MAC table includes information corresponding to the i-MAC Based Frame, and route the i-MAC Based Frame based on a layer 2 (L2) MAC Address Table when the i-MAC table does not contain information corresponding to the i-MAC Based Frame.
