Abstract
Media streaming to a phone, tablet or other mobile device is improved by adapting requests for content in anticipation of the device's future location. If a device is expected to pass through an area with poor wireless signal quality, then requests for media content can be pre-emptively obtained beforehand at places and times where the available bandwidth is more favorable. Further, requests for content may be delayed during lower bandwidth conditions if the device is expected to soon encounter more bandwidth. Content requests can be therefore optimized (or at least improved) based upon the expected bandwidth that will be encountered during the anticipated upcoming movement of the device.
