Abstract
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein associated with multi-flow prioritization and shaping. Per packet treatment for traffic shaping (e.g., UL traffic shaping) may be performed. Per packet treatment for traffic shaping may be performed based on a characteristic/condition associated with a data packet. Per packet treatment for traffic shaping may be performed based on a network signaling. Exclusion from traffic shaping may be determined, for example, on a per packet basis (e.g., based on a characteristic/condition associated with a data packet).
Claims20
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising,
- a processor configured to:
- receive configuration information for a data flow comprising a first set of traffic shaping parameters associated with a first QoS classifier and a second set of traffic shaping parameters associated with a second QoS classifier;
- receive an uplink grant for transmission;
- determine a QoS classifier associated with a data packet, wherein the QoS classifier is the first QoS classifier or the second QoS classifier;
- multiplex data associated with the data flow based on a set of traffic shaping parameters associated with the determined QoS classifier, wherein the set of traffic shaping parameters is one of the first set of traffic shaping parameters or second set of traffic shaping parameters;
- and
- send the multiplexed data using the uplink grant.
