Abstract
An improved backhaul protocol is provided, as well as computer-implemented systems and methods for autonomously broadcasting video data, audio data, or video and audio data during an event, wherein the broadcasting can be scheduled in advance and from a remote location (e.g., using a web browser), and wherein the video/audio data is streamed to a remote user over a network using the improved backhaul protocol.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- establishing a first transmission channel for transmitting data between a stream originating device and an endpoint using a backhaul protocol;
- transmitting a plurality of packets N by way of the first transmission channel, wherein a packet of the plurality of packets comprises one of (i) encrypted data corresponding to a portion of the data, (ii) error correction information, or (iii) encrypted data and error correction information, wherein the value of N is based on one or more constraints;
- determining that at least one of the plurality of packets N have failed to be received at the endpoint;
- causing a second transmission channel to be established between the first streaming device and the endpoint;
- and
- retransmitting at least one packet of the plurality of packets N on the second transmission channel.

A method comprising:
- establishing a first transmission channel for transmitting data between a stream originating device and an endpoint using a backhaul protocol;
- transmitting a plurality of packets N via a first transmission channel, wherein a packet of the plurality of packets comprises one of (i) a portion of the data, (ii) error correction information, or (iii) a portion of the data and error correction information, wherein the value of N is based on one or more constraints;
- determining that at least one of the plurality of packets N is not properly received at the endpoint based on receipt of a negative acknowledgement message;
- responsive to the receipt of the negative acknowledgement message, causing a second transmission channel to be opened;
- and
- retransmitting at least one of the plurality of packets N by way of the second transmission channel.
