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. 在一个方面中，本公开详细描述了根据用于多媒体会话的媒体配置的"鲁棒性"影响服务连续性阈值的方法和装置，其中所述服务连续性阈值用于在分组交换(PS)传输和电路交换(CS)传输之间切换多媒体会话。例如，可以根据对分组丢失的容忍性来定义鲁棒性，并且将理解，可用于给定多媒体会
