Adaptive payload sizes for streaming data delivery based on usage patterns

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• transmitting, by a network node, a first data packet to a mobile device,
• wherein the first data packet associated with a first network content;
• receiving, by the network node, a request from the mobile device indicating a switch to a second network content from the first network content;
• determining, by the network node, a usage pattern associated with the first network content based on information associated with:
• (1) the first data packet, and
• (2) the request indicating the switch to the second network content;
• and
• adaptively determining, by the network node based on the usage pattern, a payload size of a second data packet to the mobile device, wherein the second data packet is associated with a subsequent transmission of the first network content.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• transmitting, by the user device, a request to the network node requesting a first network content,
• wherein the request includes information about an initial payload size of a first data packet associated with the first network content based on a network condition associated with reception of data packets from the network node;
• and
• receiving, by the user device, the first data packet associated with the first network content,
• wherein a payload size of the first data packet is adaptively determined based on usage data of the user device associated with the first network content,
• wherein the usage data is determined based on information collected from the user device during a tracking window, and
• wherein the initial payload size is different than the payload size adaptively determined based on the usage data.
