Abstract: A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB), server, or other network entity) or a client device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) can operate over various interfaces according to a dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH) assisting network element (DANE). 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.
