1. A method performed by at least processor for managing a splitting of one or more media functions of a client of a user equipment (UE) with a 5G media streaming (5GMS) application server (AS), the method comprising:
determining that a split management session is provisioned, wherein the split management session is provisioned over a first split-rendering interface that is an extension of a M1 interface;
receiving, over a second split-rendering interface that is an extension of a M4 interface, a request to split the one or more client media functions of the UE; and
negotiating, over the second split-rendering interface between a split-rendering client of the UE and a split-rendering function of the 5GMS AS, the splitting of the one or more media functions, wherein the negotiating is based on (i) one or more client media capabilities of the UE determined using a third split-rendering interface between the split-rendering client and a function on the UE indicating the one or more client media capabilities, and (ii) one or more network capabilities of the 5GMS AS determined using a fourth split-rendering interface between the split-rendering function and a function on the 5GMS AS indicating the one or more network capabilities.
