Abstract
Asset options are multiplexed into a multicast stream. In one implementation, a single stream () includes programming () and assets (). A user equipment device delivers one of the assets () for delivery in connection with an asset delivery opportunity. The stream () also includes metadata () to assist the user equipment device in selecting the asset for delivery. Targeted advertising can thus be implemented in shared stream environments while efficiently using available bandwidth.
