Abstract
Methods, devices, and system related to adaptive determination of payload sizes based on usage patterns of the contents are disclosed. In one example aspect, an apparatus for wireless communication includes a processor that is configured to transmit a first data packet associated with a first network content to a user device, receive a request from the user device indicating a switch to a second network content from the first network content, determine a usage pattern associated with the first network content based on information included in at least the first data packet and the request, and adaptively change, based on the usage pattern, a payload size of a second data packet associated with a subsequent transmission of the first network content.
Claims18
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising at least one processor that is configured to:
- receive a message from a user device indicating a request for a network content:
- determine a usage pattern of the network content based on a statistical analysis associated with the user device,
- wherein the statistical analysis comprises a determination of at least one of:
- a minimal usage duration, a maximum usage duration, a mean usage duration, a median usage duration, or an average usage duration of the network content by the user device;
- and
- adaptively determine, based on the determined usage pattern of the network content, a payload size of a data packet associated with the network content to the user device in response to the request for the network content.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a network node, a communication from a user device indicating a request for a network content;
- determining, by the network node, a usage pattern of the network content based on a statistical analysis associated with the user device,
- wherein the statistical analysis comprises a determination of at least one of:
- a minimal usage duration, a maximum usage duration, a mean usage duration, a median usage duration, or an average usage duration of the network content by the user device;
- and
- adaptively determining, by the network node based on the determined usage pattern of the network content, a payload size of a data packet associated with the network content to the user device in response to the request for the network content.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting, by a user device, a first request to a network node requesting a first network content;
- receiving, by the user device, a first data packet associated with the first network content;
- transmitting, by the user device after a first time duration, a second request to the network node requesting a second network content;
- transmitting, by the user device after a second time duration, a third request to the network node requesting the first network content;
- and
- receiving, by the user device, a second data packet associated with the first network content,
- wherein a payload size of the second data packet is adaptively adjusted to be same or different as a payload size of the first data packet based on at least one of the first time duration or the second time duration and a usage pattern of the user device associated with the first network content or the second network content
- and wherein the usage pattern is determined based on a statistical analysis associated with the user device, the statistical analysis comprising a determination of at least one of a minimal usage duration, a maximum usage duration, a mean usage duration, a median usage duration, or an average usage duration of the first network content or the second network content by the user device.
