Abstract: A network device may receive, via a network, a request for electronic program guide content, from a user device connected to the network, and monitor, a network condition (e.g., network congestion, user device location, etc.) corresponding to the network. The network device may determine, based on the network condition, whether to provide the electronic program guide content using a first radio frequency bandwidth corresponding to the network or a second radio frequency bandwidth corresponding to the network. The user device may communicate, via the network, the electronic program guide content using the first radio frequency bandwidth or the second radio frequency bandwidth. The first radio frequency bandwidth may correspond to unicast, multicast, or broadcast services, and the second radio frequency bandwidth may correspond to a different one of unicast, multicast, or broadcast services.

Method and apparatus for network bandwidth allocation
Glen Hardin
- 29 Jun 2004
TL;DR: In this article, video on-demand session requests within a service group of an HFC cable network are assigned bandwidth such that maximum opportunity is given to grant HD VOD request among SD VOD requests, while meeting the goal of minimizing service disruption by spreading the sessions over multiple QAM channels, and limiting the maximum number of active VOD sessions of any kind.

Methods and apparatus for efficient IP multicasting in a content-based network
Kenneth Gould
- 03 Jan 2006
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for assigning physical channels in a content-based network. But the method is limited to the case where two cable modems are receiving the same multicast transmission and one or more of them are tuned to the same physical channel in order to limit the total number of multicast transmissions on the network.
