Abstract
A method performed by at least one processor of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising: receiving, by the UE, service access information that includes one or more media entry points for an uplink 5G media streaming uplink (5GMS) session; selecting one of the one or more media entry points; activating the uplink 5GMs session based on the selected one or more media entry points; and transmitting, during the uplink media streaming session, content to a 5G media streaming uplink (5GMSu) application server (AS).
Claims10
A method performed by at least one processor of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, by the UE, service access information that includes one or more media entry points for an uplink 5G media streaming uplink (5GMS) session, wherein when a network assistance feature is activated for the uplink 5GMS session, the service access information further includes an address of a 5G media streaming uplink (5GMSu) application function (AF) that offers one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) for 5GMSu AF-based Network Assistance;
- selecting one of the one or more media entry points;
- activating the uplink 5GMs session based on the selected one or more media entry points;
- and
- transmitting, during the uplink media streaming session, content to a 5G media streaming uplink (5GMSu) application server (AS).
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- receiving code configured to cause the at least one processor to receive service access information that includes one or more media entry points parameters for an uplink 5G media streaming (5GMS) session, wherein when a network assistance feature is activated for the uplink 5GMS session, the service access information further includes an address of a 5G media streaming uplink (5GMSu) application function (AF) that offers one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) for 5GMSu AF-based Network Assistance;
- selecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to select one of the one or more media entry points;
- activating code configured to cause the at least one processor to activate the uplink 5GMS session based on the selected one of the one or more media entry points;
- and
- transmitting code configured to cause the at least one processor to transmit, during the uplink media streaming session, content to a 5G media streaming uplink (5GMSu) application server (AS).
