Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry, where to configure the UE for Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) handover from an LTE network to a legacy network with circuit switched (CS) communications, the processing circuitry is to encode a Session Description Protocol (SDP) message for transmission to a second UE within the LTE network. The SDP message includes a voice codec selection for voice over LTE communication with the second UE and a maximum end-to-end packet loss rate (E2E_MAX_PLR) that can be tolerated by the UE when using the voice codec. The UE decodes an SRVCC handover command from an eNB within the LTE network, the handover command based on at least one packet loss rate (PLR) associated with a packet switched voice communication link between the UE and the second UE exceeding a PLR threshold that is determined based on the E2E_MAX_PLR that can be tolerated by the UE.

A media path interface can deliver streaming media content to the client device from the media origin server based on a set of parameters provided via a DANE server interface. A client-to-DANE interface can receive a set of metric and status messages from the client device concurrent with a delivery of the streaming media content. A content adaptation component can generate a modification of a media presentation or related parameters based on the set of metric and status messages.
