Packet Duplication Control

A central unit control plane (CU-CP) node comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the CU-CP node to:
• send, to a central unit user plane (CU-UP) node, a message comprising:
• a first field indicating configuration of packet duplication for a bearer associated with a wireless device, and
• a second field indicating a packet duplication state, wherein the packet duplication state is one of activated or deactivated;
• and
• receive, from the CU-UP node and based on the message, a response.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:

• sending, by a central unit control plane (CU-CP) node to a central unit user plane (CU-UP) node, a message comprising:
• a first field indicating configuration of packet duplication for a bearer associated with a wireless device, and
• a second field indicating a packet duplication state, wherein the packet duplication state is one of activated or deactivated;
• and
• receiving, by the CU-CP node from the CU-UP node and based on the message, a response.
