Abstract
Methods and systems for provisioning content streaming service are provided. In one example, a method includes: receiving a user request for streaming a content item from a user equipment (UE) connected to a first network segment corresponding to a first zone of a multi-dwelling unit (MDU), the user request including a first network identifier assigned to the first network segment and a user identity associated with the user, identifying the first network segment based on the first network identifier assigned to the first network segment, determining accessibility of the content item to the user, based on a pre-established network policy, performing an authentication process to authenticate the user based on the user identity associated with the user, and transmitting the requested content item to the UE via a routed network traffic over the first network segment to allow the UE to stream the requested content.
