Method and system for controlling streaming of media to wireless communication devices
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a streaming media session in which a media server streams media to a wireless communication device via a radio access network, wherein the radio access network serves the wireless communication device via an air interface, and wherein the air interface defines an air interface state, the method comprising:
- (i) at the radio access network, generating a media control signal based, at least in part, on the air interface state; and
(ii) sending the media control signal from the radio access network to the media server to enable adjustment of at least one parameter of the streaming media session.

Abstract
A method and system for controlling a streaming media session in which a media server streams media to a wireless communication device via a radio access network. The radio access network controls the streaming media session by (i) generating a media control signal based, at least in part, on an air interface state between the radio access network and the device and (ii) sending the media control signal to the media server. By sending the media control signal, the radio access network enables adjustment of at least one parameter of the streaming media session. Further, the radio access network may send the media control signal when prompted by the media server.

15. A system for controlling a streaming media session in which a media server streams media to a wireless communication device via a radio access network, wherein the radio access network serves the wireless communication device via an air interface, and wherein the air interface defines an air interface state associated with the streaming media session, the system comprising:
-
a radio access network; and
program logic, at the radio access network, for (i) generating a media control signal based, at least in part, on the air interface state associated with the streaming media session and (ii) sending the media control signal from the radio access network to the media server to enable adjustment of at least one parameter of streaming media session. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
