Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that provides for obtaining network parameter data from an eNodeB and a content delivery network server of a wireless network, determining a predicted network condition for a group of end user devices to receive an over-the-top video service in a coverage area of the eNodeB according to the network parameter data, and providing access to prediction information representative of the predicted network condition. The providing the access to the prediction information representative of the predicted network condition enables a video client of an end user device in the coverage area to provide a request for a video chunk to a video server according to buffer information and the predicted network condition Other embodiments are disclosed.
