Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that provides for obtaining, by a server comprising a processor, network parameter data from an eNodeB of a wireless network. The server can determine a predicted bandwidth for a group of end user devices in a coverage area of the eNodeB according to the network parameter data. The server can receive, from an end user device of the group of end user devices, a request for the predicted bandwidth. The server can provide the predicted bandwidth to the end user device. The providing of the predicted bandwidth enables the end user device to provide a video chunk request to a content server that is based on a selected chunk delivery schedule and facilitates streaming of video content to the end user device from the content server. Other embodiments are disclosed.
