Signaling and determining data boost information in packet header extensions

Abstract

An example device for exchanging (e.g., sending and/or receiving) data via a network includes a memory configured to store the data; and a processing system comprising one or more processors implemented in circuitry, the processing system being configured to exchange a packet of a media communication session, the packet including a packet header extension, the packet header extension including target bitrate data for the media communication session. The packet header extension may be, for example, a real-time transport protocol (RTP) header extension or a QUIC header extension. The processing system may be configured to negotiate the use of the packet header extension, e.g., in session description protocol (SDP) messages, or in-band for QUIC, e.g., using negotiation frames of QUIC.
