Abstract:
Various implementations disclosed herein enable client devices to share a network resource in order to produce more evenly distributed perceptual playback quality levels within each subscription tier. Sharing of a network resource is facilitated by providing client devices with one or more QoE distribution indicator values, which enables client device participation in the allocation of the network resource. In some implementations, a client device method includes determining a local QoE level value, and then modifying a representation selection of media content data based on the local QoE and one or more QoE distribution indicator values. The local QoE level value characterizes perceptual playback quality of media content data received by the client device using the shared network resource. The QoE distribution indicator values characterize at least in part the relative QoE values associated with a plurality of client devices sharing the shared network resource with the client device.

Claim (Index 9):
A system comprising:\n a network interface; one or more processors; and a non-transitory memory comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:\n identify first and second types of client devices sharing a shared network resource, wherein each type of client device is characterized by how a client device shares or does not share the shared network resource in order to satisfy a respective quality of experience (QoE) performance criterion; \n allocate a first portion of the shared network resource to the first type of client devices; and \n allocate a second portion of the shared network resource to the second type of client devices, wherein the second type of client devices are restricted from utilizing the first portion of the shared network resource.
