Abstract

To reduce overloading of broadband networks, unicast streams containing the same live Internet content can be identified. Then unicast streams may be combined into a multicast stream.

Description

    BACKGROUND
  • This relates generally to providing live streaming content over the Internet.
  • Internet live content streaming, including real-time coverage of popular events, may result in a large number of viewers trying to watch the same lineup of streaming content at the same time. For example, a popular sports event may garner a large number of viewers that tax limited bandwidth distribution systems. Generally, these viewers each establish a unicast stream between the content provider and their receiver. The ensuing large number of unicast streams may clog the network and the users may encounter poor quality streaming.
  • Unlike on-demand based content streaming, Internet live content streaming poses unique challenges to a network operator's bandwidth management strategy because many live events draw huge numbers of users, clogging network bandwidth. Since the live content streaming sources come from the Internet, rather than the multicast/broadcast services hosted by the network operator, the broadcasting infrastructure within the operator's network may not effectively deal with such situations.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Internet live content streams may be delivered to wireless mobile stations (MS) in the form of multiple streams of unicast traffic. Unicast traffic is traffic which is directed from one originator to one, and only one, receiver. In the case of popular television coverage of sporting events, a large number of interested viewers can create a large number of streams of unicast traffic trying to flow through the network. The net result of large number of streams at the same time is to create a congested network, especially in the air interface where bandwidth is a scarce resource. In some cases, a large amount of the streaming traffic carries exactly the same content because the content is being distributed in real-time as the event occurs.
  • Referring to FIG. 1, an end-to-end solution to deal with the congestion problem, when there are a large number of unicast streams from outside the operator's network 10 that carry the same content, may use a streaming gateway 16. The streaming gateway may be placed logically at the edge of the wireless operator's core network (CN) 18. The network may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) or WiMax network, as two examples. The streaming gateway is responsible for monitoring the streaming traffic 26 incoming to the network from the Internet 14. When the gateway detects a surge in the number of streams that carry the same content, the gateway may initiate mechanisms to convert the multiple unicast streams into a smaller number of multicast streams.
  • As used herein “multicast” means to send the same content to more than one receiver. The term “multicast” includes broadcasts as well.
  • The wireless operator's core network (CN) 18 includes elements that support Internet Protocol (IP) multicast functionality so that the multicast stream 24 from the streaming gateway 16 can be routed to the wireless base stations (BSs) 28. The wireless base stations use a broadcast channel to deliver the multicast stream to wireless mobile stations (MSs) 30. The wireless mobile stations may include intelligent middleware to seamlessly join the multicast stream and to deliver the content to the streaming application, hopefully without interrupting the user's viewing experience.
  • The streaming gateway is a logical entity that may be co-located with other elements in the operator's network. One major function of the streaming gateway is to detect incoming streams. The streaming gateway monitors the incoming streaming traffic. In some embodiments, it may inspect the content of the streams so that it can monitor the number of streams that carry the same content. Upon detection of a surge in same-content streams, the streaming gateway may evaluate how the wireless mobile stations receiving these streams are distributed. The streaming gateway may also determine whether a conversion of unicast streams to multicast streams is warranted. For example, the streaming gateway may decide to convert only some unicast streams, while leaving others unchanged. This decision may be based on the deployment of the network and/or the wireless channel conditions on the mobile stations that receive the streams.
  • The streaming gateway 16 may also be responsible for stream conversion in some embodiments. The streaming gateway may remove the content from the streams and start IP multicast delivery of the content to the base stations attached to the receiving mobile stations. The mobile stations can be notified of the stream conversion. For example, the streaming gateway may notify the middleware in the mobile station of the conversion so that the mobile station starts to retrieve the content from the new multicast stream and smoothly drops the unicast stream connected with the remote content server 12.
  • In another embodiment the streaming gateway notifies base stations of the existence of a new multicast stream. The base station advertises the existence of a new multicast stream through broadcast channels, such as the system information broadcast (SIB), in the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Radio Resource Control (RRC) specification. See 3GPP Technical Specification 36.331. The advertisement may include the universal resource locator (URL) of the stream, the IP multicast Class D address of the new multicast stream, and the multicast bearer that carries the streaming content.
  • Upon stream conversion from many unicast streams to fewer multicast streams, the streaming gateway may notify base stations communicating with mobile stations affected by the stream conversion. The base station may join the IP multicast as a subscriber of the IP multicast stream and may receive the streaming content from the multicast. Other elements in the operator's core network are expected to support IP multicast functionality so that the multicast streams from the streaming gateway can be routed to the wireless base stations subscribing to the stream.
  • The base station places the streaming content from the multicast stream on a broadcast channel of the air interface and delivers it to the wireless mobile stations.
  • An intelligent middleware layer on the mobile station coordinates between the streaming application and the protocol stack to seamlessly handle the unicast to multicast conversion. When an application initiates the content streaming, the middleware registers the unicast flow that carries the streaming traffic. When the middleware is notified, as described above, about the new multicast stream that replaces the existing unicast streams, the middleware may take action by commanding the protocol stack to join the multicast stream and to start to receive the content from the multicast. Once the multicast stream is established, the middleware terminates the original unicast stream and smoothly starts to deliver the content from the multicast stream to the application, without interrupting the viewing experience.
  • The wireless operator core network (CN) 18 may include an access network (AN) gateway 22 coupled to a packet data network (PDN) gateway 20 in one embodiment.
  • Thus, referring to FIG. 2, the streaming gateway sequence 32 may be implemented in hardware, software, and/or firmware. In software and firmware embodiments, it may be implemented by computer executed instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, such as a magnetic, semiconductor or optical storage.
  • The sequence may begin by detecting the occurrence of a large number of streams containing the same content as indicated in block 34. A threshold may be used to determine when to convert unicast streams to multicast streams. As examples, the existence of streams with the same content may be identified using content comparison code, by identifying descriptors of content, for example in headers, or using any other technique. The streaming topology may be evaluated, as indicated in block 36. A check at diamond 38 determines whether the multiple unicast streams should be converted to fewer multicast streaming. This may depend on the network, the nature of the unicast streams, and the number of unicast streams, for example. If the conversion is going to be undertaken, then the multicast stream is started, as indicated in block 40 and either the mobile stations or the base stations or both are notified of the multicast (block 42).
  • The streaming gateway 16, shown in FIG. 3, may include storage 130 including a hard drive 134 and a removable medium 136, coupled by a bus 104 to a chipset core logic 110. The streaming gateway may be any computer system. A keyboard and mouse 120, or other conventional components, may be coupled to the chipset core logic via bus 108. The core logic may couple to the graphics processor 112, via a bus 105, and the applications processor 100 in one embodiment. The graphics processor 112 may also be coupled by a bus 106 to a frame buffer 114. The frame buffer 114 may be coupled by a bus 107 to a display screen 118, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen.
  • The chipset logic 110 may include a non-volatile memory port to couple the main memory 132. Speakers 124 may also be coupled through logic 110. In one embodiment, the sequence 32 may be implemented by computer executable instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium such as the memory 132.
  • At the same time, the sequence 50, shown in FIG. 4, may be implemented by the wireless mobile station 30. The sequence 50 may be implemented in hardware, software, and/or firmware. In software and firmware embodiments, it may be implemented by computer executed instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, such as an optical, magnetic, or semiconductor memory.
  • The sequence 50 begins by causing each mobile station to register the unicast flow at block 52. Then a mobile station receives a conversion notice at block 54. The conversion notice may come from the streaming gateway or a base station, as examples. The wireless mobile station commands its protocol stack to join the multicast stream at block 56.
