MEDIA BINDING TO COORDINATE QUALITY OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDIA FLOWS IN A MULTIMEDIA SESSION WITH IP BEARER RESOURCES

摘要

Using session signaling, a multimedia session with plural media data streams is initiated between the mobile terminal and a remote host coupled to a packet data network. The mobile terminal is coupled to the packet data network and to a multimedia system that provides multimedia session service by way of an access point. A plurality of packet access bearer is established between the mobile terminal and the access point to transport corresponding ones of the media data streams between the mobile terminal and the access points. The media binding information is created for each media data stream. The media binding information associates each media data stream in the session to one of the media packet access bearers and is used to provide session-based control of each of the media packet access bearers. Different example techniques for generating/providing the media information are disclosed.
