Claim Text:
1. A method for recovering from a transmission channel change during a streaming media session over a wireless network, the method comprising a wireless communication device: detecting a stall condition in data transmission for the streaming media session; capturing a snapshot of a transmission parameter state of the streaming media session in response to detecting the stall condition; determining whether the stall condition resulted from a transmission channel change; in an instance in which it is determined that the stall condition resulted from a transmission channel change, using the snapshot to restore the streaming media session to the transmission parameter state captured by the snapshot following completion of the transmission channel change; and in an instance in which it is determined that the stall condition did not result from a transmission channel change, initiating a slow ramp up of a data transmission rate of the streaming media session to recover from the stall condition.
