| abstract |
A method for reporting a streaming quality is shown, wherein at least one continuous media stream is streamed to a client ( 601 ), and wherein the streaming is controlled by a protocol ( 109 ) that is operated between the client ( 601 ) and a server ( 600 ), the method including selecting at least one quality metric and a quality metrics class from a pre-defined set of at least two quality metrics classes, and reporting to the server ( 600 ) the quality of the streaming based on the at least one selected quality metric and the selected quality metrics class. The protocol ( 109 ) is preferably a Real-time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) in combination with a Session Description Protocol (SDP) in the context of the 3GPP Packet-Switched Streaming Service (PSS). Also shown is a computer program, a computer program product, a system, a client, a server and a protocol. |
