Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a network node configures a quality of service (QoS) profile comprising one or more file-level QoS parameters, wherein the QoS profile applies to one or more files associated with a service flow associated with a user equipment (UE), wherein each file of the one or more files comprises one or more protocol data units (PDUs), and wherein a header of each PDU of the one or more PDUs of the file includes a file identifier and a file type of the file, and enforces the QoS profile on the one or more files.

Claims (29)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:

receiving, from an application server, a burst of one or more application layer files associated with a service flow associated with a user equipment (UE);

receiving a quality of service (Qos) profile associated with the one or more application layer files, the Qos profile comprising one or more application layer file-level Qos parameters, wherein the Qos profile applies to the one or more application layer files associated with the service flow associated with the UE, wherein each application layer file of the one or more application layer files comprises one or more protocol data units (PDUs), wherein the one or more application layer file-level Qos parameters include at least a file identifier, a file type, a file error rate (FER), and a file delay budget (FDB) for the application layer file, and wherein a header of each PDU of the one or more PDUs of the application layer file includes the file identifier and the file type of the application layer file; and

encoding the file identifier and the file type in headers of each of one or more downlink PDUs; and

forwarding, based on the QoS profile, the one or more downlink PDUs to a radio access network (RAN) serving the UE based on the QoS profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the headers of the one or more PDUs comprise:

user datagram protocol (UDP) headers or transmission control protocol (TCP) headers, or

Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) headers, and

wherein the headers of the one or more downlink PDUs comprise:

general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) user plane (GTP-U) headers, or

one or more packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) headers, one or more radio link control (RLC) headers, one or more service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) headers, or any combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, at the network entity, file detection information for the one or more application layer files from a session management function (SMF) or an operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) function.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying an identifier of the service flow based on service flow detection rules; and

determining the file identifier and the file type from the headers of the one or more PDUs based on the service flow detection rules.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the QoS profile for the one or more application layer files from a session management function (SMF).

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the file identifier and the file type from the headers of the one or more PDUs.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network entity comprises a user plane function (UPF).

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more application layer file-level Qos parameters further include a file discard timer for each type of application layer file of the one or more application layer files.

9. A network entity, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory, the memory and the at least one processor configured to:

receive, from an application server, a burst of one or more application layer files associated with a service flow associated with a user equipment (UE);

receive a quality of service (Qos) profile associated with the one or more application layer files, the Qos profile comprising one or more application layer file-level QOS parameters, wherein the QoS profile applies to the one or more application layer files associated with the service flow associated with the UE, wherein each application layer file of the one or more application layer files comprises one or more protocol data units (PDUs), wherein the one or more application layer file-level QoS parameters include at least a file identifier, a file type, a file error rate (FER), and a file delay budget (FDB) for the application layer file, and wherein a header of each PDU of the one or more PDUs of the application layer file includes the file identifier and the file type of the application layer file; and

encode the file identifier and the file type in headers of each of one or more downlink PDUs; and

forward, based on the Qos profile, the one or more downlink PDUs to a radio access network (RAN) serving the UE based on the Qos profile.
