Abstract

A method performed by a WTRU may comprise determining application layer information and receiving QoS policy configuration information. A QoS mechanism may be determined based on the application layer information and the received QoS policy configuration information. A QoS value applicable to the determined QoS mechanism may then be determined for a data packet. Subsequently, the determined QoS value may be transmitted to another WTRU over a PC5 interface, with or without the data packet. The QoS mechanism may be determined as one of a PPPP mechanism or a QFI mechanism. The QoS policy configuration information may be received via a gNB. In an embodiment, the application layer information may include an application identifier, a PSID or an ITS-AID. The QoS policy configuration information may indicate a mapping of V2X application IDs to respective QoS mechanisms.

Claims (33)

1. A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving quality of service (QoS) policy configuration information from a network;

determining a QoS Flow Identifier (QFI) value based on application layer information and the QoS policy configuration information;

transmitting data, to another WTRU over a PC5 interface, in accordance with the determined QFI value; and

transmitting the determined QFI value to a radio access network base station.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QoS policy configuration information includes geographic information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QoS policy configuration information is received via a next generation Node B (gNB).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determined QFI value is transmitted via a next generation node B (gNB).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application layer information comprises an application identifier.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application layer information comprises a provider service identifier.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is unicast data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is broadcast data.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the another WTRU over the PC5 interface, the determined QFI value.

10. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising:

a receiver configured to receive quality of service (QoS) policy configuration information from a network;

circuitry configured to determine a QoS Flow Identifier (QFI) value based on application layer information and the QoS policy configuration information;

a transmitter configured to transmit data, to another WTRU over a PC5 interface, in accordance with the determined QFI value; and

the transmitter configured to transmit the determined QFI value to a radio access network base station.

11. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the QoS policy configuration information includes geographic information.

12. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the QoS policy configuration information is received via a next generation Node B (gNB).

13. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the information corresponding to the determined QFI value is transmitted via a next generation node B (gNB).

14. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the application layer information comprises an application identifier.

15. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the application layer information comprises a provider service identifier.

16. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the data is unicast data.

17. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the data is broadcast data.

18. The WTRU of claim 10 , further comprising:

the transmitter configured to transmit, to the another WTRU over a PC5 interface, the determined QFI value.

19. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising:

circuitry configured to determine a QoS Flow Identifier (QFI) value based on application layer information;

a transmitter configured to transmit data, to another WTRU over a sidelink interface, in accordance with the determined QFI value; and

the transmitter configured to transmit the determined QFI value to a base station.

20. The WTRU of claim 19 , wherein the QFI value is determined based on QoS policy configuration information received from the base station.
