Abstract

Provided are a method in which a source base station (BS) transmits a Quality of Service (QoS) flow-to-data radio bearer (DRB) mapping rule to a target BS in a wireless communication system, and a device supporting the same. The method may include: receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a measurement result of a target cell; determining the handover of the UE to the target BS on the basis of the measurement result; and transmitting, to the target BS, a handover request message including a QoS flow-to-DRB mapping rule of the source BS.

Claims (25)

1. A method performed by a target base station operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a source base station, a handover request message including information related to a quality of service (QoS) flow-to-data radio bearer (DRB) mapping of the source base station;

deciding to use the QoS flow-to-DRB mapping of the source base station at the target base station; and

transmitting, to the source base station, a handover request acknowledge message as a response to the handover request message, wherein the handover request acknowledge message includes information related to using the QoS flow-to-DRB mapping of the source base station at the target base station.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QoS flow-to-DRB mapping includes mapping a DRB to one or more QoSs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a QoS flow includes a QoS profile.

4. A method performed by a wireless device operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

communicating with a source base station using a quality of service (QoS) flow-to-data radio bearer (DRB) mapping of the source base station;

transmitting, to the source base station, a measurement report for a measurement result of a target cell;

receiving, from the source base station, a handover command informing the device of a handover from the source base station to a target base station serving the target cell;

accessing the target cell; and

communicating with the target base station using the QoS flow-to-DRB mapping of the source base station.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the QoS flow-to-DRB mapping includes mapping a DRB to one or more QoSs.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein a QoS flow includes a QoS profile.

7. A wireless device operating in a wireless communication system, the wireless device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

communicating with a source base station using a quality of service (QoS) flow-to-data radio bearer (DRB) mapping of the source base station;

transmitting, to the source base station, a measurement report for a measurement result of a target cell;

receiving, from the source base station, a handover command informing the device of a handover from the source base station to a target base station serving the target cell;

accessing the target cell; and

communicating with the target base station using the QoS flow-to-DRB mapping of the source base station.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the QoS flow-to-DRB mapping includes mapping a DRB to one or more QoSs.

9. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein a QoS flow includes a QoS profile.
