Abstract

A system and method for providing multisession 360° immersive video services in a network portion having a dedicated bandwidth capacity. In one embodiment, a bandwidth optimization method is operative to determine respective bandwidth allocations for the video sessions responsive to receiving an indication of the dedicated bandwidth capacity, a plurality of weights corresponding to the video sessions and a plurality of bitrate caps configured for the video sessions. Respective bandwidth allocations may be provided to a tile selection process configured to select tiles for a corresponding video session on a frame-by-frame basis from a plurality of tile-encoded bitrate representations of a media input stream associated with the video session, wherein each tile-encoded bitrate representation is provided with a separate video quality.
