Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing media content delivery. In some embodiments, a globally unique identifier (GUID) associated with a particular media content might be embedded in headers of packets of a transport stream of the media content. When the transport stream is received by a user device, the GUID might enable retrieval of the necessary metadata (and/or updates of metadata) for enabling presentation of the media content. Alternatively or additionally, ratings or similar information can likewise be embedded in the headers of packets or I-frames of the transport stream, which enables a user (e.g., parent) to easily block or skip objectionable content from children who may be present. Alternatively or additionally, the transport stream may be combined with auxiliary data streams containing metadata and other associated auxiliary content to create a combined transport stream, to ensure no lost or corrupted media content during transmission.

In a vehicular communication network, a processor receives a packet that includes data corresponding to a sensor, the packet being in a first format. The processor reformats the packet in the first format to a second format different than the first format. The reformatting of the packet includes the processor generating an intermediate frame that includes a header in the second format and a payload in the second format, the payload including the data corresponding to the sensor. The processor provides the frame to an Ethernet network interface, which encapsulates the frame in an Ethernet packet. The Ethernet network interface then transmits the Ethernet packet via an Ethernet link.

In a vehicular communication network, an Ethernet network interface receives an Ethernet packet via an Ethernet link and decapsulates an intermediate frame from the Ethernet packet. The intermediate frame includes a first header in an intermediate frame format and a first payload, which includes sensor data, in the intermediate format. The intermediate format is different than any camera serial interface (CSI) protocol of the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance. The Ethernet network interface provides the intermediate frame to a processor. The processor generates a packet in a CSI protocol format defined by the MIPI Alliance. The processor uses header information in the first header of the intermediate frame to populate one or more header fields of a second header of the packet in the CSI protocol format, and uses payload information in the intermediate frame to generate a second payload of the packet in the CSI protocol format.
