Abstract
There is provided an apparatus, method, and computer program for performing detecting congestion in an access network; identifying, for a quality of service flow, a rate and/or probability at which at least one protocol data unit set is to be discarded based on an indication of a respective quality of service flow priority value and a respective protocol data unit set importance value that identifies a priority of the at least one protocol data unit set within the quality of service flow; and discarding the at least one protocol data unit set in accordance with the identified rate and/or probability.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- detecting congestion in an access network;
- determining, for a quality of service flow, how at least one protocol data unit set is to be discarded based on an indication of a respective quality of service flow priority value and a respective protocol data unit set importance value that identifies a priority of the at least one protocol data unit set within the quality of service flow;
- and
- discarding, based on said detection, the at least one protocol data unit set in accordance with said determining.
A method for an apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting congestion in an access network;
- determining, for a quality of service flow, how at least one protocol data unit set is to be discarded based on an indication of a respective quality of service flow priority value and a respective protocol data unit set importance value that identifies a priority of the at least one protocol data unit set within the quality of service flow;
- and
- discarding, based on said detecting, the at least one protocol data unit set in accordance with said determining.
A computer program comprising instructions which, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform:
- detecting congestion in an access network;
- determining, for a quality of service flow, how at least one protocol data unit set is to be discarded based on an indication of a respective quality of service flow priority value and a respective protocol data unit set importance value that identifies a priority of the at least one protocol data unit set within the quality of service flow;
- and
- discarding, based on said detecting, the at least one protocol data unit set in accordance with said determining.
