Abstract

A wireless communication network serves media content to a wireless communication device. The wireless communication network receives registration notices for the wireless communication device from Downstream Content Delivery Networks (dCDNs) when the wireless communication device registers with the dCDNs. The wireless communication network receives CDN signaling from an Upstream Content Delivery Network (uCDN) for one of the multiple dCDNs when the wireless communication device registers with the uCDN. The wireless communication network selects one of the dCDNs for the wireless communication device. The wireless communication network transfers the CDN signaling to the selected one of the dCDNs. The uCDN transfers media content to the dCDN and the dCDN transfers the media content to the wireless communication device.
