Method and apparatus for controlling sidelink qos

A User Equipment (UE) with sidelink (SL) Quality of Service (QoS) controlling function be characterized by comprising:

• a storage device configured to store a computer program comprising computer instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the storage device and configured to execute the computer instructions to:
• a) generating QoS requirement from characteristics for one or more packets to be transmitted via a sidelink;
• b) determining bearer configuration corresponding to the QoS requirement;
• and
• c) performing SL transmission on the basis of the bearer configuration.

A computer program product for controlling sidelink (SL) Quality of Service (QoS) in a cellular network, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code configured for execution by processing circuitry of a terminal device to cause the processing circuitry to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• a) generating QoS requirement from characteristics for one or more packets to be transmitted via a sidelink;
• b) determining bearer configuration corresponding to the QoS requirement;
• and
• c) performing SL transmission on the basis of the bearer configuration.
