US 12,652,571 B2 · Uplink PDU sets and reflective QoS in radio access networks

Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for configuring uplink PDU sets and reflective QoS in radio access networks are described. An apparatus is configured to receive, from a network node, a mapping configuration indicating configured mappings between a QoS flow and an UL radio bearer associated with transmission of a PDU set(s), and to switch the QoS flow to map to another UL radio bearer based on a presence of a condition associated with the transmission of a PDU set of the PDU set(s). Another apparatus is configured to receive, from a UE, indications of UE capability associated with mapping a QoS flow with UL radio bearers for transmission of a PDU set(s), and to configure the UE, based on the indication of the UE capability, with a mapping configuration that indicates a configured mapping between the QoS flow and an UL radio bearer associated with transmission of the PDU set(s).

Dependent claims

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

memory;
and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from a network node, a mapping configuration that indicates a configured mapping between a quality of service (QoS) flow and a first uplink (UL) radio bearer, wherein the first UL radio bearer is associated with transmission of at least one packet data unit (PDU) set, wherein a PDU set includes two or more PDUs as an integrated set of the two or more PDUs with at least one common QoS attribute;
and
switch the QoS flow to map to a second UL radio bearer based on a presence of a condition associated with the transmission of a first PDU set of the at least one PDU set.
