Abstract

A method and apparatus for service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration for a destination in sidelink communication is provided. A wireless device establishes a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity based on a SDAP configuration per destination of a sidelink communication. This can be achieved by the wireless device receiving a configuration of one or more sidelink radio bearers (SLRBs), which includes an SDAP configuration for each of the one or more SLRBs. Each SDAP configuration, in turn, includes a list of Quality of Service Flow Identities (QFIs) for a corresponding destination, from among one or more destinations, to be mapped to a corresponding SLRB. One or more transmitting SDAP entities can then be established for each of the one or more destinations.

Claims (46)

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

transmitting a sidelink user equipment (UE) information message to a network via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling,

wherein the sidelink UE information message includes one or more destination identities (IDs) for first destinations of sidelink communication, and

wherein the sidelink UE information message includes a quality of service (QOS) flow identity (QFI) for each of the destinations;

receiving an RRC reconfiguration message from the network,

wherein the RRC reconfiguration message includes a configuration of one or more sidelink radio bearers (SLRBs),

wherein the configuration of the one or more SLRBs includes a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration for each of the one or more SLRBs, and

wherein the SDAP configuration includes a list of QFIs of a corresponding destination, from among one or more second destinations, to be additionally mapped to a corresponding SLRB;

establishing one or more transmitting SDAP entities for each of the one or more second destinations; and

mapping, at the one or more transmitting SDAP entities, a QoS flow to the corresponding SLRB.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink UE information message includes at least one QoS parameter.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one QoS parameter includes at least one of a PC5 QoS indicator (PQI), PC5 Flow bit rates, PC5 link aggregated bit rates, communication range and/or default values.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in communication with at least one of a mobile device, a network, and/or autonomous vehicles other than the wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a destination ID of the corresponding destination is not included in the SDAP configuration or in the configuration of the one or more SLRBs.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting the configuration of the one or more SLRBs to the corresponding destination, and wherein a receiving SDAP entity is established at the corresponding destination based on the SDAP configuration included in the configuration of the one or more SLRBs.

7. A wireless device adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the wireless device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one 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:

transmitting, using the at least one transceiver, a sidelink user equipment (UE) information message to a network via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling,

wherein the sidelink UE information message includes one or more destination identities (IDs) for first destinations of sidelink communication, and

wherein the sidelink UE information message includes a quality of service (QOS) flow identity (QFI) for each of the destinations;

receiving, using the at least one transceiver, an RRC reconfiguration message from the network,

wherein the RRC reconfiguration message includes a configuration of one or more sidelink radio bearers (SLRBs),

wherein the configuration of the one or more SLRBs includes a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration for each of the one or more SLRBs, and

wherein the SDAP configuration includes a list of QFIs of a corresponding destination, from among one or more second destinations, to be additionally mapped to a corresponding SLRB;

establishing one or more transmitting SDAP entities for each of the one or more second destinations; and

mapping, at the one more transmitting SDAP entities, a QoS flow to the corresponding SLRB.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the sidelink UE information message includes at least one QoS parameter.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one QoS parameter includes at least one of a PC5 QoS indicator (PQI), PC5 Flow bit rates, PC5 link aggregated bit rates, communication range and/or default values.

10. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein a destination ID of the corresponding destination is not included in the SDAP configuration or in the configuration of the one or more SLRBs.

11. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting the configuration of the one or more SLRBs to the corresponding destination, and wherein a receiving SDAP entity is established at the corresponding destination based on the SDAP configuration included in the configuration of the one or more SLRBs.

12. A processing apparatus adapted to control a wireless device in a wireless communication system, the processing apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connectable to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform operations comprising:

generating a sidelink user equipment (UE) information message,

wherein the sidelink UE information message includes one or more destination identities (IDs) for first destinations of sidelink communication, and

wherein the sidelink UE information message includes a quality of service (QOS) flow identity (QFI) for each of the destinations;

obtaining an RRC reconfiguration message,

wherein the RRC reconfiguration message includes a configuration of one or more sidelink radio bearers (SLRBs),

wherein the configuration of the one or more SLRBs includes a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration for each of the one or more SLRBs, and

wherein the SDAP configuration includes a list of QFIs of a corresponding destination, from among one or more second destinations, to be additionally mapped to a corresponding SLRB;

establishing one or more transmitting entities for each of the one or more second destinations; and

mapping, at the one more transmitting SDAP entities, a QoS flow to the corresponding SLRB.
