ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for packet switched streaming of media, such as video and/or audio, from a streaming server (111) to a mobile client device (101) over an air-interface. The method comprises noticing a change in a downlink air-interface bandwidth, sending from the mobile client device (101) to the streaming server (111) a request for adapting streaming server transmission bit rate, receiving the request at the streaming server (111) and adapting the streaming server transmission bit rate in accordance with the request. According to the method, the request indicates to the streaming server (111) a current downlink air-interface bandwidth and that said adapting of the streaming server transmission bit rate is performed in accordance with said current downlink air-interface bandwidth.
