Abstract

A base station sends a report message of a data flow comprising a plurality of protocol data unit (PDU) sets, wherein the report message indicates at least one of the data flow not being fulfilled or a fulfilled alternative quality of service (QoS) parameter set indicating at least one of a PDU set error rate (PSER) or a PDU set delay budget (PSDB).

Claims (44)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a base station distributed unit (BS-DU) from a base station central unit (BS-CU), a message requesting a quality of service (QOS) flow, wherein:

the QoS flow comprises a plurality of protocol data unit (PDU) sets associated with a respective plurality of data units of an application;

each PDU set comprises one or more PDUs of a respective data unit; and

the message comprises:

QoS parameters indicating a packet error rate (PER) and a packet delay budget (PDB) for the QoS flow; and

one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, each alternative QoS parameter set comprising an alternative PDU set error rate (PSER) and an alternative PDU set delay budget (PSDB);

sending, by the BS-DU to the BS-CU, a second message indicating at least one of:

a QoS of the QoS flow not being fulfilled; or

a fulfilled alternative QoS parameter set indicating a fulfilled PSER and a fulfilled PSDB.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the BS-DU from the BS-CU, the one or more PDUs with one or more importance level information.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising communicating, by the BS-DU with a wireless device and based on the one or more importance level information, the one or more PDUs.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message comprises an index of the fulfilled alternative QoS parameter set.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the BS-DU and based on the first message, whether the QoS of the QoS flow is fulfilled.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the BS-DU and based on the first message, which alternative QoS parameter set of the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets is fulfilled.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising measuring, by the BS-DU, at least one of a third value for the PSER and a fourth value for the PSDB.

8 . A base station distributed unit (BS-DU) comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the BS-DU to:

receiving, by a base station distributed unit (BS-DU) from a base station central unit (BS-CU), a message requesting a quality of service (QOS) flow, wherein:

the QoS flow comprises a plurality of protocol data unit (PDU) sets associated with a respective plurality of data units of an application;

each PDU set comprises one or more PDUs of a respective data unit; and

the message comprises:

QoS parameters indicating a packet error rate (PER) and a packet delay budget (PDB) for the QoS flow; and

one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, each alternative QoS parameter set comprising an alternative PDU set error rate (PSER) and an alternative PDU set delay budget (PSDB);

sending, by the BS-DU to the BS-CU, a second message indicating at least one of:

a QoS of the QoS flow not being fulfilled; or

a fulfilled alternative QoS parameter set indicating a fulfilled PSER and a fulfilled PSDB.

9 . The BS-DU of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-DU to receive, from the BS-CU, the one or more PDUs with one or more importance level information.

10 . The BS-DU of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-DU to communicate, with a wireless device and based on the one or more importance level information, the one or more PDUs.

11 . The BS-DU of claim 8 , wherein the second message comprises an index of the fulfilled alternative QoS parameter set.

12 . The BS-DU of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-DU to determine, based on the first message, whether the QoS of the QoS flow is fulfilled.

13 . The BS-DU of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-DU to determine, based on the first message, which alternative QoS parameter set of the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets is fulfilled.

14 . The BS-DU of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-DU to measure at least one of a third value for the PSER and a fourth value for the PSDB.

15 . A method comprising:

sending, by a wireless device to a session management function (SMF), a protocol data unit (PDU) session message requesting a quality of service (QOS) flow of the wireless device, wherein:

the QoS flow comprises a plurality of protocol data unit (PDU) sets associated with a respective plurality of data units of an application;

each PDU set comprises one or more PDUs of a respective data unit;

QoS parameters of the QoS flow indicate a packet error rate (PER) and a packet delay budget (PDB) for the QoS flow; and

the QoS flow is associated with one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, each alternative QoS parameter set comprising an alternative PDU set error rate (PSER) and an alternative PDU set delay budget (PSDB); and

receiving, by the wireless device from the SMF, a non-access stratum message comprising a 5G QoS indicator, of the QoS flow, associated with a fulfilled alternative QoS parameter set indicating a fulfilled PSER and a fulfilled PSDB.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the data flow not being fulfilled comprises a QoS parameter of the data flow not being fulfilled.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the data flow not being fulfilled comprises a guaranteed flow bit rate (GFBR) for the data flow being not met.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein each alternative QoS parameter set indicates an index of the alternative QoS parameter set.

19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the PSER indicates a ratio of a number of one or more PDU sets not successfully communicated and a number of one or more PDU sets to be communicated.

20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the PSDB indicates an allowed delay between a network and the wireless device to deliver all PDUs of a PDU set.
