Such measures exemplarily comprise that a quality-of-service flow within a packet data unit session in a mobile communication system is configured by a quality-of-service profile of deterministic communication based on setting information of the quality-of-service profile of deterministic communication, in which minimum required latency and maximum allowed latency for delivery of user plane data packets are defined, said quality-of-service flow being for delivery of user plane data packets including data of a time-sensitive communication system, a user plane data packet is received in the configured quality-of-service flow within the packet data unit session, and the received user plane data packet is processed in accordance with the quality-of-service profile of deterministic communication. | 2022-01-20 |
20220022089 | SERVICE INSTANCE INDICATION FOR RESOURCE CREATION - A method of operation of a SMF in a 5GC, for synchronizing the GBR QoS flows with the UE is provided. The method comprises initiating deactivation of one or more GBR/non-GBR (not associated to a default QoS Rule), QoS flows of a PDU session in the 5GC and in the UE and upon determining that a response to the deactivation is not received from the UE, deferring, by the SMF, the deactivation of the one or more GBR/non-GBR QoS flows with the UE and marking the GBR/Non-GBR QoS flows as to be synchronized when either UP reactivation is received or UE reachability notification is received or upon a synchronization timer set by the SMF has expired. The GBR/non-GBR QoS Flows may also be locally deactivated at the UE, in which case a method in the UE to synchronize the GBR/non-GBR QoS flows with the 5GC is provided. | 2022-01-20 |
20220022090 | Network Slice Service Level Agreement, SLA, Fulfilment - A method of operation of an OAM node in a 5G system for fulfilling a service level agreement (SLA) for a network slice. The method comprises the OAM node initializing the slice information at a first network entity (NSSF) including the initial number of users allowed for a slice and transmitting information related to KPI for the slice for QoE monitoring; receiving one or more Quality of Experience (QoE) measurements related to one or more users of the slice, using the received one or more QoE measurements to determine whether the KPI for the slice is reached in accordance with the SLA and in response to determining that the KPI for the slice is not in accordance with the SLA, triggering an action in at least one of corresponding Radio Access Network or a Core Network associated with the slice, such as resource reconfiguration or redistribution across different slices. | 2022-01-20 |
