A mobile station may comprise a receiver to receive, from a base station, a broadcast signal indicating a TDD configuration of uplink OFDM symbols and downlink OFDM symbols. The receiver may receive an indication of a symbol range and a subchannel range for use in transmission of CQI feedback. The mobile station may receive first downlink data and transmit first uplink data, using the TDD configuration, wherein the first uplink data comprises CQI feedback information transmitted in accordance with the symbol range and the subchannel range. The receiver may receive second downlink data, from the base station, on a different frequency as the first uplink data is transmitted, while the first uplink data is transmitted.

A communication entity for transmitting a video data stream at a target transmission bit rate and corresponding method are provided. The communication entity comprises: a first scheduling instance configured to determine a preliminary transmission bit rate for forwarding the video data stream towards the user equipment; and a second scheduling instance configured to determine the target transmission bit rate based on the preliminary transmission bit rate and a set of video bit rates, the set of video bit rates comprising a first video bit rate associated with a first video quality and a second video bit rate associated with a second video quality, the first video bit rate being smaller than the second video bit rate, wherein the second scheduling instance is configured to select the preliminary transmission bit rate as the target transmission bit rate if the preliminary transmission bit rate does not exceed the first video bit rate.

A system for queuing flows to channels.

The present technology pertains to providing a live playback stream by a multi-media platform. During a live playback stream, the client device controls public playback of media items and is a source of live media during the live playback stream. The live playback stream can be made up of at least two streams between the client device and the multi-media platform. One stream is a playback control channel for transmitting data regarding playback controls pertaining to playback of recorded media content and another stream is a live media stream for transmitting data encoding live media. The multi-media platforms can transmit at least a portion of the data from the playback control channel and the live media stream to an audience member client device.

An information processing device (50) includes a control unit. The control unit acquires each piece of resource information related to a plurality of different resources to be used when uplink data is transmitted by streaming. The control unit selects a resource to be used by a device (10, 20, 30) that performs the streaming on the basis of the resource information that has been acquired and performs reservation for use of the resource that has been selected. The control unit generates combination information related to a combination of resources that have been reserved for use.

A broadcast receiving device for receiving a transmitted service by using an MPEG Media Transport (MMT) protocol includes a tuner configured to receive Service Layer Signaling (SLS); a memory storing one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to obtain information of one or more contents constituting the service, from an MMT Package (MP) table included in the SLS, determine whether there is second content that is the same as first content being currently received through a first transfer path and is received through a different transfer path from a transfer path of the first content, among the one or more contents, based on the information of the one or more contents, and perform, when there is the second content, a handoff of a content receiving channel from the first transfer path to a second transfer path corresponding to the second content to receive the second content.
