Abstract
A method includes processing, by a 5th generation media streaming (5GMS) client, streaming access information received from a 5GMS application function (AF), in which the streaming access information comprises a plurality of media entry points, in which each media entry point of the plurality of media entry points comprises a locator and one of (i) an entry type, and (ii) a content type, in which a first media entry point from the plurality of media entry points corresponds to uplink streaming, and in which a second media entry point from the plurality of media entry points correspond to downlink streaming.
Claims20
A method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
- processing, by a 5th generation media streaming (5GMS) client, streaming access information received from a 5GMS application function (AF),
- wherein the streaming access information comprises a plurality of media entry points,
- wherein each media entry point of the plurality of media entry points comprises a locator and one of (i) an entry type, and (ii) a content type,
- wherein a first media entry point from the plurality of media entry points corresponds to uplink streaming, and
- wherein a second media entry point from the plurality of media entry points correspond to downlink streaming.
A method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
- generating, by a 5th generation media streaming (5GMS) application function (AF), streaming access information for a 5GMS client,
- wherein the streaming access information comprises a plurality of media entry points,
- wherein each media entry point of the plurality of media entry points comprises a locator and one of (i) an entry type, and (ii) a content type,
- wherein a first media entry point from the plurality of media entry points corresponds to uplink streaming, and
- wherein a second media entry point from the plurality of media entry points correspond to downlink streaming.
A method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a 5th generation media streaming (5GMS) client, streaming access information received from a 5GMS application function (AF), wherein the streaming access information comprises a plurality of media entry points, wherein each media entry point of the plurality of media entry points comprises a location and one of (i) an entry type, and (ii) a content type, wherein a first media entry point from the plurality of media entry points corresponds to uplink streaming, and wherein a second media entry point from the plurality of media entry points correspond to downlink streaming;
- and
- selecting one of the first media entry point and the second media entry point.
