TIME-INTERLEAVED SIMULCAST FOR TUNE-IN REDUCTION
A method includes generating a first coded data stream and a second coded data stream representing the same content coded at different qualities, the first coded data stream and the second coded data stream being independently decodable from each other, and alternately transmitting portions of the first coded data stream and the second coded data stream in non-overlapping time-sliced bursts, wherein the transmission of the portions of the first and second coded data streams occur subsequently to each other in transmission order and substantially without delay between transmission of data.
