Method for transmitting TCP ACK packet in wireless communication system and a device therefor
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting TCP ACK packet in wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a packet with a first QoS flow ID for a PDU session from an upper layer, wherein a first DRB for transmitting only TCP ACK packet is configured for the PDU session; checking whether or not the received packet is a TCP ACK packet; and if the received packet is the TCP ACK packet, delivering a PDU including the received packet to a lower layer via the first DRB, wherein the first QoS flow ID of the received packet is associated with a second DRB according to QoS flow to DRB mapping rule of the PDU session.
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from an upper layer, a packet with a first Quality of Service (QoS) flow ID for a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session, wherein a first Data Radio Bearer (DRB) for transmitting only Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Acknowledgement (ACK) packet is configured for the PDU session;
checking whether or not the received packet is a TCP ACK packet; and
based on the received packet being the TCP ACK packet, delivering a PDU including the received packet to a lower layer via the first DRB,
wherein the first QoS flow ID of the received packet is associated with a second DRB according to QoS flow-to-DRB mapping rule of the PDU session, and
wherein the first DRB is used for transmitting all TCP ACK packets from all DRBs belonging to the PDU session.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
based on the received packet not being the TCP ACK packet, delivering a PDU including the received packet to the lower layer via the second DRB.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first QoS flow ID is delivered with the received packet to the lower layer.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PDU is generated in a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity which is a higher layer than a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity of the UE.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first DRB is used for transmitting all TCP ACK packets from all DRBs belonging to the PDU session.
6. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor operably coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive, from an upper layer, a packet with a first Quality of Service (QoS) flow ID for a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session, wherein a first Data Radio Bearer (DRB) for transmitting only Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Acknowledgement (ACK) packet is configured for the PDU session,
check whether or not the received packet is a TCP ACK packet, and
based on the received packet being the TCP ACK packet, deliver a PDU including the received packet to a lower layer via the first DRB,
wherein the first QoS flow ID of the received packet is associated with a second DRB according to QoS flow-to-DRB mapping rule of the PDU session, and
wherein the first DRB is used for transmitting all TCP ACK packets from all DRBs belonging to the PDU session.
7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
based on the received packet not being the TCP ACK packet, deliver a PDU including the received packet to the lower layer via the second DRB.
8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first QoS flow ID is delivered with the received packet to the lower layer.
9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the PDU is generated in a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity which is a higher layer than a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity of the UE.
10. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, based on being executed by a processor, control a user equipment (UE) to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an upper layer, a packet with a first Quality of Service (QoS) flow ID for a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session, wherein a first Data Radio Bearer (DRB) for transmitting only Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Acknowledgement (ACK) packet is configured for the PDU session,
checking whether or not the received packet is a TCP ACK packet, and
based on the received packet being the TCP ACK packet, delivering a PDU including the received packet to a lower layer via the first DRB,
wherein the first QoS flow ID of the received packet is associated with a second DRB according to QoS flow-to-DRB mapping rule of the PDU session, and
wherein the first DRB is used for transmitting all TCP ACK packets from all DRBs belonging to the PDU session.
