Abstract:
Embodiments provide popularity-based adaptive bitrate management of linear programming over constrained communications links. Embodiments can operate in context of a communications network communicating with multiple mobile client devices disposed in one or more transport craft. A number of channel offerings, including channels providing linear programming, can be made available via the communications network for consumption by the client devices. Embodiments can compute channel popularity scores for the channel offerings based on a predicted popularity, an estimated popularity, a measured popularity, etc. A bitrate can be determined for each (some or all) of the channel offerings based at least in part on its channel popularity score, so that more popular channel offerings can be communicated at higher bitrates. Determined-bitrate instances of the channel offerings can be obtained and/or generated, and delivered via the communications network, to the client devices for consumption.

Claim (Index 50):
The system of  claim 44 , wherein the delivery subsystem:\n obtains the channel offering from the content server by obtaining a first channel instance from the content server comprising the channel offering encoded at a first bitrate; and delivers the channel offering by:\n converting the first channel instance to a second channel instance, such that the second channel instance comprises is the respective one of the plurality of bitrates for the channel offering available from the content server; and \n communicating the second channel instance over the communications network at the selected bitrate.
