End-to-end rate adaptation using ran assisted rate adaptation

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• a processor communicatively coupled with the memory, the processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• determine, at the UE, whether the UE supports radio access network (RAN) assisted rate adaptation capability, wherein the RAN assisted rate adaptation capability allows the UE to operate at bit rates that exceed guaranteed bit rate (GBR);
• configure a session description protocol (SDP) parameter that indicates the RAN assisted rate adaptation capabilities of the UE;
• and
• transmit a SDP message that includes the SDP parameter to a network device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor for:

• determining, at a user equipment (UE), whether the UE supports radio access network (RAN) assisted rate adaptation capability, wherein the RAN assisted rate adaptation capability allows the UE to operate at bit rates that exceed guaranteed bit rate (GBR);
• configuring a session description protocol (SDP) parameter that indicates the RAN assisted rate adaptation capabilities of the UE;
• and
• transmitting a SDP message that includes the SDP parameter to a network device.
