Cellular communication protocol aware multimedia streaming

An electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• establish a primary connection for a multimedia conference session with another electronic device, the primary connection utilizing a first cellular communication protocol;
• establish a secondary connection for the multimedia conference session, the secondary connection utilizing a second cellular communication protocol that differs from the first cellular communication protocol;
• set a minimum jitter buffer level for the multimedia conference session to a first jitter buffer level value;
• transmit application data and control data for the multimedia conference session over the primary connection and concurrently transmit at least a portion of the control data over the secondary connection;
• during the multimedia conference session, switch to transmission of the application and control data over the secondary connection;
• and
• responsive to the switch, adjust the minimum jitter buffer level for the multimedia conference to a second jitter buffer level value that differs from the first jitter buffer level value.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• establishing, by an electronic device, a link for communicating a video stream to another electronic device;
• receiving, by the electronic device, an indication that the other electronic device is utilizing a first cellular communication protocol for the link;
• selecting, based on an association with the first cellular communication protocol, a first set of bit rates for communicating the video stream, the first set of bit rates being associated with the first cellular communication protocol and a second, different, set of bit rates being associated with a second cellular communication protocol that differs from the first cellular communication protocol;
• providing, for transmission over the link to the other electronic device, an indication of the first set of bit rates;
• receiving, from the other electronic device, a selection of one of the first set of bit rates;
• and
• providing, for transmission over the link to the other electronic device, the video stream at the one of the first set of bit rates.
