9. A method for use in a device configured for running at least one adaptive streaming session, the method comprising:
obtaining access latency information regarding an access latency between the device and a network access equipment by using an auxiliary connection, wherein said auxiliary connection is distinct from a current network connection being used for receiving segments of a multimedia content available at one or more qualities; and
adapting the adaptive streaming session running at said device according to the obtained access latency information by:
decreasing the quality in the case where the access latency is greater than a first value and is stable over time;
maintaining the quality in the case where the access latency is greater than the first value and is decreasing over time;
maintaining or increasing the quality in the case where access latency is smaller than a second value and stable or decreasing over time; and
decreasing the quality in the case where the access latency is smaller than the second value and is increasing over time.
