Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are provided for pre-caching content to customer premises equipment (CPE) such as set-top boxes, fixed wireless access devices, etc. Video streaming services are increasingly popular and can put a strain on network resources during peak hours. Wireless network peak hour capacity demand can be reduced by utilizing off-peak hour content/video caching. A cache time during off-peak hours can be determined through the interaction of wireless network and content provider servers.
