NETWORK-CONTROLLED TIME-SHIFT LIVE MEDIA AND ADVERTISEMENT CONTENT PLAY FOR LEARNED ABR VIDEO WHITE SPOT COVERAGE IN A STREAMING NETWORK

摘要

A scheme for managing ABR live media streaming of content in a wireless radio network environment that may have radio white spot areas. Upon determining that the wireless UE device executing an ABR client application is in a radio white spot area, the current ABR live media streaming session is time-shifted for a duration based on how long a service outage may last. During the video service outage, playback of advertisements pre-populated at the wireless UE device may be commenced. When the wireless UE device exits the radio white spot area, the ABR streaming session may be resumed to play the time-shifted media content from a point adjacent to the particular segment where the ABR streaming session was time-shifted.
