Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and instrumentalities are described herein for providing adaptive media streaming. A first network node (e.g., UPF) may be provided. The first network node may include a processor configured to determine one or more rendition detection rules. A first message may be received from a second network node (e.g., AS). The first message may include a protocol data unit (PDU) and indicates a first rendition. The first rendition may be detected based on the PDU and the one or more rendition detection rules. A rendition identification (ID) may be determined to be associated with the first rendition. The rendition ID may be determined to indicate a change from a second rendition to the first rendition. A second message may be sent to a third network node (e.g., SMF) based on the determination that the rendition ID indicates the change from the second rendition to the first rendition.
