Abstract
In one aspect, this disclosure details methods and apparatuses for influencing the service continuity threshold used for switching a multimedia session between Packet-Switched (PS) transport and Circuit-Switched (CS) transport, in dependence on the 'robustness' of the media configuration in use for the multimedia session. Robustness, for example, may be defined in terms of packet loss tolerance, and it will be understood that the media configurations available for a given multimedia session may have different levels of absolute or relative robustness and that the media configuration selected for use in a multimedia session may change during the multimedia session. Correspondingly, the approaches proposed herein provide mechanisms for dynamically adjusting the service continuity threshold in dependence on which media configuration is currently in use for the multimedia session.
