Abstract
Various embodiments provide systems and methods for supporting synchronized delivery of packets of different type media streams of a service. Various embodiments enable wireless device and/or network assistance of packet synchronization in downlink (DL) and/or uplink (UL) transmissions.
Claims16
A method for synchronizing delivery of a multimedia service among different media streams performed by a processor of a base station, comprising:
- determining that a data packet of a media stream of a plurality of different type media streams qualifies for early delivery;
- determining an early delivery time period to a latency budget for the media stream of the data packet qualifying for early delivery;
- sending the data packet qualifying for early delivery to a wireless device earlier than the latency budget;
- sending an early delivery indication including an indication of the early delivery time period to the wireless device;
- sending synchronization margins for each of the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device;
- and
- sending an indication of remaining latency budgets for the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device.
A base station, comprising:
- a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:
- determine that a data packet of a media stream of a plurality of different type media streams qualifies for early delivery;
- determine an early delivery time period to a latency budget for the media stream of the data packet qualifying for early delivery;
- send the data packet qualifying for early delivery to a wireless device earlier than the latency budget;
- send an early delivery indication including an indication of the early delivery time period to the wireless device;
- send synchronization margins for each of the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device;
- and
- send an indication of remaining latency budgets for the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device.
A base station, comprising:
- means for determining that a data packet of a media stream of a plurality of different type media streams qualifies for early delivery;
- means for determining an early delivery time period to a latency budget for the media stream of the data packet qualifying for early delivery;
- means for sending the data packet qualifying for early delivery to a wireless device earlier than the latency budget;
- means for sending an early delivery indication including an indication of the early delivery time period to the wireless device;
- means for sending synchronization margins for each of the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device;
- and
- means for sending an indication of remaining latency budgets for the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device.
A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions to cause a processor of a base station to perform operations comprising:
- determining that a data packet of a media stream of a plurality of different type media streams qualifies for early delivery;
- determining an early delivery time period to a latency budget for the media stream of the data packet qualifying for early delivery;
- sending the data packet qualifying for early delivery to a wireless device earlier than the latency budget;
- and
- sending an early delivery indication including an indication of the early delivery time period to the wireless device;
- sending synchronization margins for each of the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device;
- and
- sending an indication of remaining latency budgets for the plurality of different type media streams to the wireless device.
