Abstract

A base station transmits, to a wireless device, at least one first radio resource control message comprising configuration parameters for a first session associated with a first session identifier between the wireless device and a user plane function and a second session associated with a second session identifier different from the first session identifier, for packet duplication of the first session, between the wireless device and the user plane function. The base station transmits, to the wireless device, at least one second radio resource control message indicating activation of the packet duplication. Based on the activation of the packet duplication, the base station receives original packets via the first session associated with the user plane function and duplicated packets of the first session via the second session.

Claims (74)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, at least one first radio resource control message comprising configuration parameters for:

a first session associated with a first session identifier between the wireless device and a user plane function; and

a second session associated with a second session identifier different from the first session identifier, for packet duplication of the first session, between the wireless device and the user plane function;

transmitting, by the base station to the wireless device, at least one second radio resource control message indicating activation of the packet duplication; and

based on the activation of the packet duplication, receiving:

original packets via the first session associated with the user plane function; and

duplicated packets of the first session via the second session.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the base station from the wireless device, a response radio resource control message indicating a completion of the activation.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, by the base station to the user plane function, the original packets of the first session.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, by the base station to the user plane function, the duplicated packets of the first session.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, by the base station to the user plane function:

the original packets via a first tunnel between the base station and the user plane function; and

the duplicated packets via a second tunnel between the base station and the user plane function.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the base station from the wireless device, a channel measurement information; and

determining, by the base station and based on the channel measurement information, the activation of the packet duplication.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the channel measurement information comprises at least one of:

a channel quality indicator (CQI);

a precoding matrix indicator (PMI);

a precoding type indicator (PTI); or

a rank indication (RI).

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the base station, the packet duplication based on at least one of:

a quality-of-service requirement of the first session;

a traffic load of the base station;

a session type of the first session; or

a network slice of the first session.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, by the base station to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first message indicating the activation of the packet duplication.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving, by the base station from the AMF, a second message indicating acceptance of the activation, wherein the at least one second radio resource control message is based on the acceptance of the activation.

11. A base station comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit, to a wireless device, at least one first radio resource control message comprising configuration parameters for:

a first session associated with a first session identifier between the wireless device and a user plane function; and

a second session associated with a second session identifier different from the first session identifier, for packet duplication of the first session, between the wireless device and the user plane function;

transmit, to the wireless device, at least one second radio resource control message indicating activation of the packet duplication; and

based on the activation of the packet duplication, receive:

original packets via the first session associated with the user plane function; and

duplicated packets of the first session via the second session.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to receive, from the wireless device, a response radio resource control message indicating a completion of the activation.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to send, to the user plane function, the original packets of the first session.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to send, to the user plane function, the duplicated packets of the first session.

15. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to send, to the user plane function:

the original packets via a first tunnel between the base station and the user plane function; and

the duplicated packets via a second tunnel between the base station and the user plane function.

16. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to:

receive, from the wireless device, a channel measurement information; and

determine, based on the channel measurement information, the activation of the packet duplication.

17. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the channel measurement information comprises at least one of:

a channel quality indicator (CQI);

a precoding matrix indicator (PMI);

a precoding type indicator (PTI); or

a rank indication (RI).

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to determine the packet duplication based on at least one of:

a quality-of-service requirement of the first session;

a traffic load of the base station;

a session type of the first session; or

a network slice of the first session.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to:

send, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first message indicating the activation of the packet duplication; and

receive, from the AMF, a second message indicating acceptance of the activation, wherein the at least one second radio resource control message is based on the acceptance of the activation.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising one or more first processors and first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:

transmit, to a wireless device, at least one first radio resource control message comprising configuration parameters for:

a first session associated with a first session identifier between the wireless device and a user plane function; and

a second session associated with a second session identifier different from the first session identifier, for packet duplication of the first session, between the wireless device and the user plane function;

transmit, to the wireless device, at least one second radio resource control message indicating activation of the packet duplication; and

based on the activation of the packet duplication, receive:

original packets via the first session associated with the user plane function; and

duplicated packets of the first session via the second session; and

the wireless device, wherein the wireless device comprises one or more second processors and second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive the at least one first radio resource control message;

receive the at least one second radio resource control message; and

based on the activation of the packet duplication, transmit:

the original packets via the first session associated with the user plane function; and

the duplicated packets of the first session via the second session.
