Abstract
A user terminal uses the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to establish a Real Time Streaming Media (RTSP) media session with a media content server. An application server, which establishes the RTSP media session, links the RTSP media session to the corresponding SIP session. Once the RTSP session is set up and linked to the SIP session, the media content server streams the media content to the user terminal.

12. An application server to control a media stream to a user terminal, the application server comprising:
-
a first port configured to exchange session control messages with a user terminal during a signaling session; a second port configured to exchange media messages with a media content server; and a controller configured to; establish a media session between the user terminal and the media content server responsive to receiving a session control message over the first port; and link the media session with the signaling session based on correlation information received from the media content server over the second port. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
