  • Patent number: 11811541
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for using a radio access network (RAN) level negative acknowledgement (NAK) feedback to indicate at least one missing frame from an encoding device. The RAN level NAK feedback replaces or preempts a decoding device sending an end-to-end feedback to the encoding device using real-time transport protocol (RTP) that has a long latency and may cause freezes at the decoding device. For example, an encoding device may send to a network entity a request for a configuration that configures the encoding device to transmit media frames to the decoding device. The network entity may provide a NAK feedback indicating at least one missing frame. Having received the configuration in response to the request, the encoding device transmits media frames to the decoding device via the network entity, and monitors for NAK feedback from the network entity in accordance with the configuration.
