Abstract
A radio access network (RAN) node configures protocol data unit (PDU) quality of service (QOS). To this end, the RAN node receives (502), at a control plane (CP) entity of the RAN node from a core network (CN), first QoS parameters for a PDU set, for delivery to a UE; and provides (506 ), by the CP entity to a user plane (UP) entity of the RAN node, second QoS parameters based on the first QoS parameters.

A method in a radio access network (RAN) node for configuring protocol data unit (PDU) quality of service (QOS), the method comprising:
- receiving, at a control plane (CP) entity of the RAN node from a core network (CN), first QoS parameters for a PDU set to be delivered to a UE;
- and
- providing, by the CP entity to a user plane (UP) entity of the RAN node, second QoS parameters based on the first QoS parameters.
A method in a radio access network (RAN) node for configuring protocol data unit (PDU) quality of service (QOS), the method comprising:
- receiving, at a user plane (UP) entity of the RAN node from a control plane (CP) entity, QoS parameters for a PDU set to be delivered to a UE;
- and
- assigning resources for communicating data packets between the UE and a core network (CN) according to the QoS parameters.
A radio access network (RAN) node comprising:
- a transceiver, and processing hardware, the RAN node configured to configure protocol data unit (PDU) quality of service (QOS), including:
- receive, at a control plane (CP) entity of the RAN node from a core network (CN), first QoS parameters for a PDU set to be delivered to a UE;
- and
- provide, by the CP entity to a user plane (UP) entity of the RAN node, second QoS parameters based on the first QoS parameters.
