Abstract
A method for transmitting media content from a cloud content delivery network (CCDN) to a plurality of in-flight wireless media servers (WMSs) is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs, position data with respect to at least one of a movement, an altitude, or a geo-spatial location of an aircraft; identifying, by the plurality of in-flight WMSs, one or more elevated in-flight WMSs for receiving the media content. The method for identifying further includes determining a respective content-reception state of each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs; determining a respective content-reception suitability score for each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs; and identifying the one or more elevated in-flight WMSs. The method further includes receiving, by each of the one or more elevated in-flights WMSs, the media content from a suitable CCDN server in the CCDN.
