[0002] Currently, the processing of uplink PDU Set depends on the capabilities and inclinations of a user equipment (UE, also known as a terminal). Currently, the terminal is allowed to provide UE assistance information (UAI) to assist the network. However, when to send the UAI is an implementation of the UE.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0285] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are usually of the same category, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "or" in the present application means at least one of the connected objects. For example, "A or B" covers three scenarios, namely, Scenario 1: including A and not including B; Scenario 2: including B and not including A; Scenario 3: including both A and B. The character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0286] The term "indication" in the present application can be either a direct indication (or an explicit indication) or an indirect indication (or an implicit indication). Among them, a direct indication can be understood as that the sender clearly informs the receiver of specific information, operations to be performed, or request results, etc. in the sent indication; an indirect indication can be understood as that the receiver determines the corresponding information according to the indication sent by the sender, or makes a judgment and determines the operations to be performed or request results, etc. according to the judgment result.

[0287] It should be noted that the technology described in the embodiments of this application is not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, and can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), or other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of this application are often used interchangeably. The described technology can be used not only in the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, but also in other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes the New Radio (NR) system for example purposes, and the NR terms are used in most of the following descriptions. However, these technologies can also be applied to systems other than the NR system, such as the 6th Generation (6G) communication system.

[0288] The term "comprising" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. In addition, the use of "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects. For example, A and / or B means including three cases: A alone, B alone, and both A and B exist.

[0289] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0290] Currently, the handling of uplink PDU Set depends on the capabilities and inclinations of the User Equipment (UE, also known as the terminal). Currently, the terminal is allowed to provide UE Assistance Information (UAI) to assist the network. For example, the UAI can include "for the first QoS flow, identifying whether the PDU Set is feasible or not". However, when to send the UAI is an implementation of the UE. When the Radio Access Network (RAN) device receives the uplink PDU Set QoS of a Quality of Service (QoS) flow, it may or may not have received the UAI reported by the UE. Therefore, for the said QoS flow, the RAN device is still unclear about whether it is feasible or not to identify the PDU Set. So, how the RAN performs QoS-related operations has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0291] Among them, to solve the problem of how the RAN performs QoS-related operations, such as whether to accept the QoS flow and how to operate on the uplink PDU Set QoS, the following problems also need to be solved:

[0292] Problem 1: The UE notifies through the UAI that "for the first QoS flow, identifying whether the PDU Set is feasible or not". However, when to send the UAI is an implementation of the UE. When the RAN device receives the uplink PDU Set QoS of the QoS flow, it may not have received the UAI reported by the UE. Therefore, for the said QoS flow, the RAN device is still unclear about whether it is feasible or not to identify the PDU Set. At this time, even if the capabilities and resources of the RAN can accept the uplink PDU Set QoS, there are still the following problems: 1) unclear whether it can accept the QoS flow; 2) unclear whether it can accept the uplink PDU Set QoS (such as returning to the CN device that the PDU Set QoS is accepted); 3) unclear whether it can activate the uplink PDU Set QoS for the QoS flow.

[0293] Solution 1: When it is unclear whether "for the first QoS flow or the first radio bearer, identifying whether the PDU Set is feasible or not", reject the establishment or modification of the first QoS; or reject the uplink PDU Set QoS.

[0294] Solution 2: When it is not clear whether "identifying the PDU Set is feasible or infeasible for the first QoS flow or the first radio bearer", the RAN can first accept the uplink PDU Set QoS but not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS. Subsequently, when receiving the UE notification that "identifying the PDU Set is feasible for the QoS flow", the RAN device can activate the uplink PDU Set QoS; when receiving the UE notification that "identifying the PDU Set is infeasible for the QoS flow", the RAN device can keep the uplink of the QoS flow not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS or reject the uplink PDU Set QoS.

[0295] Problem 1.1: In the prior art, acceptance is equal to usage. However, in the case of Solution 2 above, since accepting the uplink PDU Set QoS does not equal activating the PDU Set QoS, the following problem exists: The CN cannot distinguish between the two cases of accepting but not activating and accepting and activating.

[0296] Solution 1:

[0297] When receiving the uplink PDU Set QoS and it is not clear whether "identifying the PDU Set is feasible or infeasible for the first QoS flow", the RAN can first accept the uplink PDU Set QoS of the first QoS flow but not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS. At this time, notify the CN to accept but not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS; when receiving the UAI information of the UE that "identifying the PDU Set is feasible for the first QoS flow" and deciding to activate the uplink PDU Set QoS, notify the CN to activate the uplink PDU Set QoS (equivalent to two CN notifications: 1) Accept but not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS; 2) Subsequently notify to activate the uplink PDU Set QoS, or no longer accept or reject the uplink PDU Set QoS, or do not notify);

[0298] When receiving the uplink PDU Set QoS and it is clear that "identifying the PDU Set is feasible for the first QoS flow", the RAN can accept and activate the uplink PDU Set QoS of the first QoS flow (equivalent to one CN notification: 1) Accept and not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS);

[0299] When it is clear that "identifying the PDU Set is infeasible for the first QoS flow", the RAN can reject accepting the uplink PDU Set QoS of the first QoS flow (equivalent to one CN notification: 1) Reject accepting the uplink PDU Set QoS).

[0300] Question 1.2: In Solution 2, when the RAN accepts but does not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS, and then receives a UE notification that "for the first QoS flow, it is not feasible to identify the PDU Set", it is not clear whether the RAN device keeps the uplink PDU Set QoS not activated or requests the core network to delete the uplink PDU Set QoS.

[0301] Solution 1: After the RAN accepts but does not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS, and then receives a UE notification that "for the first QoS flow, it is not feasible to identify the PDU Set", the RAN can do one of the following:

[0302] Notify the core network that "reject to activate or fail to activate the uplink PDU Set QoS, and the reason for rejection is 'for the first QoS flow, PDU Set processing is not feasible'";

[0303] Notify the core network to request the core network to release the uplink PDU Set QoS;

[0304] Keep accepting but not activating the uplink PDU Set QoS.

[0305] Among them, if the RAN keeps accepting but not activating the uplink PDU Set QoS, in the case where uplink PDU Set processing is not feasible, the CN does not know and may continue to update the uplink PDU Set QoS.

[0306] Question 2: When receiving the uplink PDU Set QoS and knowing that "for the first QoS flow, it is not feasible to identify the PDU Set", it is not clear whether to accept the QoS flow (establish or modify) but reject the uplink PDU Set QoS or reject the establishment or modification of the QoS.

[0307] Solution 1: When the RAN rejects or does not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS of the first QoS flow, the RAN can still accept the establishment or modification request of the first QoS flow. At this time, the CN device can be notified that the establishment or modification of the first QoS flow is successful.

[0308] Solution 2: When the RAN rejects or does not activate the uplink PDU Set QoS of the first QoS flow, the RAN rejects the establishment and modification request of the first QoS flow. At this time, the CN device can be notified that the establishment or modification of the first QoS flow fails.
