Abstract
A user equipment (UE) configured to establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session including one or more quality of service (QoS) flows and multiple data radio bearers (DRB) for communications with a network, decode, from signaling received from the network, or determine an initial mapping table for a Qos flow to DRB mapping based on a network configuration of mapping parameters, determine a first QoS flow to map or remap to a new or different DRB and configure transceiver circuitry to transmit a request to the network for the first Qos flow to be mapped or remapped to the new or different DRB.
Claims20
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session including one or more quality of service (QoS) flows and multiple data radio bearers (DRB) for communications with a network;
- decode, from signaling received from the network, or determine an initial mapping table for a QoS flow to DRB mapping based on a network configuration of mapping parameters;
- determine a first QoS flow to map or remap to a new or different DRB;
- and
- configure transceiver circuitry to transmit a request to the network for the first QoS flow to be mapped or remapped to the new or different DRB.
An apparatus of a base station, the apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session including one or more quality of service (QoS) flows and multiple data radio bearers (DRB) for communications with a user equipment (UE);
- indicate mapping parameters for the UE to determine an initial mapping table for a Qos flow to DRB mapping;
- decode, from signaling received from the UE, a request for a first QoS flow to be mapped or remapped to a new or different DRB;
- and
- determine whether to honor the request and follow the mapping or remapping of the first QoS flow to the new or different DRB based on policy rules configured for the base station.
