Abstract
Methods and systems for managing and transmitting content are disclosed. A sample method can comprise determining signal-to-noise ratio information relating to one or more data blocks and determining a threshold signal-to-noise ratio. At least one of the one or more data blocks can be requested based upon respective signal-to-noise ratio information and the threshold signal-to-noise ratio.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying a time window for transmitting content;
- determining peak signal-to-noise ratio information relating to one or more data blocks;
- associating a time parameter with each of the one or more data blocks based upon the time window and the respective peak signal-to-noise ratio information;
- selecting a version of each of the one or more data blocks based upon the respective time parameter, wherein the version of the one or more data blocks is selected at least in part based on a particular bit rate for presenting the version of the one or more data blocks;
- and
- transmitting the selected version of the one or more data blocks.
