Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure describe indicating per-packet quality of service (QoS) in communications by a wireless communications device. A packet from an application generated for a first radio access technology (RAT) can be obtained, where the packet includes a first QoS value associated with the first RAT, and/or the first QoS value can be mapped to a second QoS value associated with the second RAT. In another example, the QoS value can be indicated in the packet along with a reflective indicator indicating to use the QoS value in transmitting a response to the packet.
Claims42
A method for indicating per-packet quality of service (QoS) in wireless communications device, comprising:
- obtaining, at the wireless communications device, a packet from an application generated for a first radio access technology (RAT), wherein the packet includes a first QoS value associated with the first RAT and wherein the packet is intended for sidelink communication to one or more other devices;
- determining to transmit the packet to the one or more other devices over a sidelink channel and using a second RAT;
- mapping, based on determining to transmit the packet using the second RAT, the first QoS value to a second QoS value associated with the second RAT, wherein at least one of the first QoS value or the second QoS value is based on whether the packet comprises sensor related data or video related data being shared over the sidelink channel;
- indicating the second QoS value in the packet;
- and
- transmitting, using the second RAT, the packet with the second QoS value from the wireless communications device to the one or more other devices over the sidelink channel.
