Patent 9398498 was granted and assigned to Intel on July, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Technology to provide P2P switching between HTTP based delivery of DASH formatted content to an MBMS download is disclosed. In an example, a host UE can include computer circuitry configured to: receive a session initiation protocol (SIP) termination message, from a service control function (SCF) module to terminate an SIP session for delivery of DASH based content to a mobile device; send a SIP acknowledgement message to the SCF to be forwarded to the mobile device; and establish a FLUTE protocol based MBMS download session between the mobile device and a BMSC.UPF module operating on the host mobile device for the MBMS download. Technology is also disclosed for P2P MBMS download via BMSC and file repair via an HTTP server using the switching.
