Abstract
One disclosure of the present specification provides a method by which a session management function (SMF) supports quality of service (QoS). The method can comprise the steps of: determining, on the basis of a QoS flow not being a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) QoS flow in a multi-access (MA) protocol data unit (PDU) session, that a QoS profile is transmitted to both a third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and a non-3GPP access; determining, on the basis of the QoS flow being the GBR QoS flow in the MA PDU session, that the QoS profile is transmitted to only one of the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access; and transmitting the QoS profile on the basis of the determinations.
Claims17
A method for supporting a quality of service (QoS), the method performed by a session management function (SMF) node and comprising:
- receiving a request message related to a protocol data unit (PDU) session,
- wherein the PDU session relates to a multi-access (MA) PDU session over a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and a non-3GPP access;
- and
- transmitting a QoS profile,
- wherein the QoS profile is transmitted to both of the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access, based on (i) that the QoS flow is non-guaranteed bit rate (non-GBR) QoS flow, and
- wherein the QoS profile is transmitted to a first access between the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access, based on (ii) that the QoS flow is a GBR QoS flow.
A session management function (SMF) for supporting a quality of service (QoS), the SMF comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to control the transceiver, wherein the processor performs operations of:
- receiving a request message related to a protocol data unit (PDU) session,
- wherein the PDU session relates to a multi-access (MA) PDU session over a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and a non-3GPP access;
- and transmitting a QoS profile,
- wherein the QoS profile is transmitted to both of the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access, based on (i) that the QoS flow is non-guaranteed bit rate (non-GBR) QoS flow, and
- wherein the QoS profile is transmitted to a first access between the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access, based on (ii) that the QoS flow is a GBR QoS flow.
