Abstract

Systems and methods of controlling transmissions of a media stream are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method performed by a media client for controlling a transmission of a media stream from a media server to the media client may include obtaining a media description of the media stream. The media description may indicate an initial stream element of the consecutive stream elements. Further, the method may include sending a request for the initial stream element. In addition, the method may include requesting, towards a control entity for a session, an establishment of the session or a modification of the session, for associating the media stream with the session. After sending the request for the initial stream element, the method may include receiving a result of the session establishment or session modification request.
