Claim Text:
1. A method for transmitting multiple adaptive bit rate (ABR) segment streams on a shared frequency, the method comprising: encoding a content item based at least in part on a plurality of ABR profiles to generate a plurality of encoded streams, each of the plurality of encoded streams being encoded differently and each of the plurality of encoded streams corresponding to one of the plurality of ABR profiles; segmenting the plurality of encoded streams to generate a plurality of ABR segment streams, each of the plurality of ABR segment streams corresponding to one of the plurality of encoded streams; and transmitting the plurality of ABR segment streams on the shared frequency to an electronic device irrespective of whether any of the plurality of ABR segment streams have been requested by the electronic device, wherein at least two of the plurality of ABR segment streams are transmitted on the shared frequency to the electronic device simultaneously.
