1. A terminal device configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the terminal device comprising:
a media session handler configured to interface with an application of the terminal device; and
a media streamer configured to interface with the application of the terminal device, wherein
the media session handler is configured with a first uplink interface to transmit data to a media application function of an infrastructure equipment of the wireless communication system, wherein an API is exposed by the media application function to the media session handler, wherein the media session handler is configured to transmit data to the media application function executed by an infrastructure equipment via the first uplink interface,
the media session handler is configured with a first downlink interface to receive data from the media application function of the infrastructure equipment,
the media streamer is configured with a second uplink interface to transmit data to a media application server of the infrastructure equipment, and
the media streamer is configured with a second downlink interface to receive data from the media application server of the infrastructure equipment,
wherein uplink media streaming is performed via the first uplink interface,
wherein the media streamer is configured to encapsulate media data for transmission via the second uplink interface.
