Abstract
Systems and methods for improved efficiency in content streaming and downloading. The system enables a first list including a plurality of user equipment (UE) in communication with a wireless base station (WBS) to be identified based on the likelihood that each UE will download a piece of content. The process starts in response to a UE requesting the content from the WBS or some other triggering event. The system can use the content and subscriber history from the plurality of UEs along with machine learning, or some other algorithm, to identify likely candidates. The system can calculate a similarity score, or similar, comparing the requested content to the content history for each of the plurality of UEs. The system can add each UE with a sufficiently high similarity score to a second list. The content can be broadcast to all UEs on the second list in a single broadcast transmission.
