Abstract
A base station may obtain information associated with a bearer established for a communication session involving a user equipment. The bearer may be associated with a quality of service (QoS) flow of a network slice and the information may include a QoS flow identifier, a QoS configuration identifier associated with a QoS that is to be provided for communications associated with the QoS flow, and a network slice identifier. The base station may determine a scheduling weight for the bearer based on the QoS flow identifier, the QoS configuration identifier, and the network slice identifier. The base station may cause resources to be allocated to the bearer according to the scheduling weight.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a device, information associated with a bearer established for a communication session involving a user equipment (UE),
- determining, by the device, a scheduling weight for the bearer based on the information,
- wherein the information includes a quality of service (QoS) flow identifier of a QoS flow, a QoS configuration identifier that identifies one or more QoS parameters of the QoS flow, and a network slice identifier;
- and
- causing, by the device, resources to be allocated to the bearer according to the scheduling weight.
A device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- obtain information associated with a bearer established for a communication session involving a user equipment (UE),
- determine a scheduling weight for the bearer based on the information,
- wherein the information includes a quality of service (QoS) flow identifier of a QoS flow, a QoS configuration identifier that identifies one or more QoS parameters of the QoS flow, and a network slice identifier;
- and
- cause resources to be allocated to the bearer according to the scheduling weight.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- obtain information associated with a bearer established for a communication session involving a user equipment (UE),
- determine a scheduling weight for the bearer based on the information,
- wherein the information includes a quality of service (QoS) flow identifier of a QoS flow, a QoS configuration identifier that identifies one or more QoS parameters of the QoS flow, and a network slice identifier;
- and
- cause resources to be allocated to the bearer according to the scheduling weight.
