A user equipment (UE) operable to switch between a packet-switched streaming service (PSS) download session and a multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) download session is described. The UE can send a session initiation protocol (SIP) re-invitation to a service control function (SCF) module during the PSS download session. The SIP re-invitation can include a request uniform resource identifier (URI) for an MBMS download session. The UE can receive a SIP acknowledgement from the SCF module. The SIP acknowledgement can indicate that the PSS download session has been terminated for the UE. The UE can switch from the PSS download session to the MBMS download session at the UE in response to the SIP acknowledgement being received at the UE.
