Abstract

A method performed by a user equipment (UE)-to-network relay in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes, in case that PC5 quality of service (QoS) flows setup is initiated by a remote UE, identifying whether QoS requirements associated with the remote UE and the UE-to-network relay are supported, in case that the QoS requirements are not supported, identifying one or more QoS parameters that satisfy the QoS requirements, and based on the one or more QoS parameters, updating a PC5 QoS flow.

Claims (26)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE)-to-network relay in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying that quality of service (QoS) requirements associated with a PC5 QoS flow are not supported, based on QoS information associated with the PC5 QoS flow;

based on the identifying, determining one or more QoS parameters for a QoS control; and

transmitting, to a remote UE, information associated with the determined one or more QoS parameters.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to a core network entity, the information associated with the one or more QoS parameters.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

updating the PC5 QoS flow based on an authentication by a policy control function (PCF) entity for the one or more QoS parameters.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a core network entity, information associated with QoS mapping rules.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE-to-network relay is pre-configured with information associated with QoS mapping rules.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the one or more QoS parameters is transmitted via a layer-2 link modification procedure for modifying the PC5 QoS flow.

7. A user equipment (UE)-to-network relay in a wireless communication system, the UE-to-network relay comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

identify that quality of service (QoS) requirements associated with a PC5 QoS flow are not supported, based on QoS information associated with the PC5 QoS flow,

based on the identification, determine one or more QoS parameters for a QoS control, and

transmit, to a remote UE via the transceiver, information associated with the determined one or more QoS parameters.

8. The UE-to-network relay of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit, to a core network entity via the transceiver, the information associated with the one or more QoS parameters.

9. The UE-to-network relay of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

update the PC5 QoS flow based on an authentication by a policy control function (PCF) entity for the one or more QoS parameters.

10. The UE-to-network relay of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from a core network entity via the transceiver, information associated with QoS mapping rules.

11. The UE-to-network relay of claim 7 , wherein the UE-to-network relay is pre-configured with information associated with QoS mapping rules.

12. The UE-to-network relay of claim 7 , wherein the information associated with the one or more QoS parameter is transmitted via a layer-2 link modification procedure for modifying the PC5 QoS flow.
