360-degree video delivery over next generation network

Abstract

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for a 360-degree video streaming. A video streaming device may receive a 360-degree video stream from a network node. The video streaming device may determine a viewport associated with the video streaming device and/or the 360-degree video stream. The video streaming device may determine (e.g., based on the viewport) to request in advance a first segment and a second segment of the 360-degree video stream. The video streaming device may determine a relative priority order for the first segment and the second segment. The video streaming device may generate an anticipated requests message. The anticipated requests message may indicate the determined relative priority order, for example, by listing the first segment and the second segment in decreasing relative priority based on the determined relative priority order. The video streaming device may send the anticipated requests message to the network node.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
