[0002] Currently, the QoS profile for a Quality of Service (QoS) stream can include QoS parameters at the packet set (also known as Protocol Data Unit (PDU) set) granularity and packet granularity. Optionally, the QoS profile may also include one or more alternative QoS parameter sets. These alternative QoS parameter sets may also include PDU Set QoS parameters and packet granularity QoS parameters. Generally, packet sets and packets represent two different granularities, and QoS processing at both granularities cannot be applied simultaneously.

[0003] Therefore, determining whether or not to apply PDU Set QoS processing, and ensuring consistency between the sending and receiving ends in their understanding of whether PDU Set QoS processing is applied or not, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0131] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0132] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, not limited in number; for example, the first object can be one or more. Furthermore, "or" in this application indicates at least one of the connected objects. For example, the scope of protection for "A or B" covers at least three scenarios: Scenario 1: including A but not B; Scenario 2: including B but not A; Scenario 3: including both A and B. In addition, the terms "A and / or B," "at least one of A and B," and "at least one of A or B" also cover at least the above three scenarios. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0133] The term "instruction" in this application can be either a direct instruction (or explicit instruction) or an indirect instruction (or implicit instruction). A direct instruction can be understood as one in which the sender explicitly informs the receiver of specific information, the operation to be performed, or the requested result, etc., in the instruction sent. An indirect instruction can be understood as one in which the receiver determines the corresponding information based on the instruction sent by the sender, or makes a judgment and determines the operation to be performed or the requested result, etc., based on the judgment result.

[0134] It is worth noting that the technologies described in this application are not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but 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 this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used in the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as in other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes New Radio (NR) systems for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description; however, these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR systems, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0135] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following technical points will be introduced first.

[0136] When PDU Set QoS processing is applied (e.g., PDU Set processing is supported (both UL, RAN, and UE support it, with downlink support from the RAN), resources are sufficient, and policy requirements are met),

[0137] - If at least one of the following in the Original QoS Profile—Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate (GFBR), PDU Set Delay Budget (PSDB), and PDU Set Error Rate (PSER)—is not met, the QoS notification is not satisfied.

[0138] - QoS notification is satisfied if GFBR, PSDB, and PSER are satisfied together in the Original QoS Profile.

[0139] When PDU Set QoS processing is not applied (PDU Set processing is not supported (e.g., uplink is not supported by the RAN or UE), downlink is not supported by the RAN, or resources are insufficient and policy requirements are not met),

[0140] - If at least one of the following in the Original QoS Profile—GFBR, Packet Delay Budget (PDB), or Packet Error Rate (PER)—is not met, the QoS notification is not satisfied.

[0141] - In the Original QoS Profile, QoS notification is satisfied if GFBR, PDB, and PER are all satisfied together.

[0142] Therefore, the following issues also need to be addressed:

[0143] Question 1: How to apply or not apply PDU Set QoS processing

[0144] Case 1: When an Alternative QoS Profile does not exist, PDU Set QoS processing is applied, and at least one of GFBR, PSDB, and PSER in the Original QoS Profile is not satisfied, GFBR, PDB, and PER in the Original QoS Profile may be satisfied. How should "PDU Set QoS processing" be handled?

[0145] One solution:

[0146] - If at least one of PSDB and PSER in the Original QoS Profile is not satisfied, and GFBR, PDB and PER in the Original QoS Profile are satisfied, the RAN that supports PDU Set processing can disable PDU Set QoS processing.

[0147] - After disabling PDU Set QoS processing, if at least one of PSDB and PSER in the Original QoS Profile is satisfied again and GFBR is satisfied, the RAN supporting PDU Set processing can apply or enable PDU Set QoS processing.

[0148] Case 2: When an Alternative QoS Profile exists, and at least one of the PSER and PSDB satisfied by the RAN does not match at least one of the PSDB and PSER in any QoS Profile (Original QoS Profile and all Alternative QoS Profiles), how should "PDU Set QoS processing" be handled?

[0149] One solution

[0150] - If the QoS (such as at least one of GFBR, PSER, and PSDB) satisfied by the RAN does not match at least one of PSDB, PSER, and GFBR in any QoS Profile (Original QoS Profile and all Alternative QoS Profiles), and GFBR, PDB, and PER are satisfied in the Original QoS Profile, the RAN that supports PDU Set processing can disable PDU Set QoS processing.

[0151] - If PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, and the RAN satisfies at least one of the GFBR, PSER, and PSDB that matches the GFBR, PSER, and PSDB of any QoS Profile (Original QoS Profile and all Alternative QoS Profiles), then the RAN that supports PDU Set processing can apply or enable PDU Set QoS processing.

[0152] Question 2: There are also the following misunderstandings regarding the receiver (also known as the target party) of QoS notifications:

[0153] 1) Case 1: When PDU Set QoS processing is supported, none of the PDU Set QoS parameters are satisfied, resulting in PDU Set QoS processing not being applied.

[0154] Among them, all PDU Set QoS parameters can be:

[0155] When an alternative QoS profile exists, the PDU sets the QoS parameters in both the original and alternative QoS profiles.

[0156] When there is no alternative QoS profile, the PDUSET QoS parameters in the original QoS profile.

[0157] If the GFBR, PDB, and PER in the Original QoS profile are all satisfied, PDU Set processing is disabled, and a QoS notification indicating that the QoS is not satisfied is sent. The receiver will incorrectly infer that at least one of the GFBR, PDB, and PER in the Original QoS profile is not satisfied.

[0158] One solution:

[0159] The reason why PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is turned off when PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is turned off, or when packet-level QoS processing is applied or is turned on.

[0160] 2) Case 2: PDU Set processing is not supported, resulting in PDU Set processing not being applied.

[0161] If at least one of GFBR, PDB, and PER in the Original QoS profile is satisfied, PDU Set processing is disabled, and a QoS notification indicating that the condition is not met is sent. The receiver will incorrectly infer that at least one of GFBR, PDB, and PER in the Original QoS profile is not satisfied.

[0162] One solution:

[0163] The reason why PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is turned off when PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is turned off, or when packet-level QoS processing is applied or is turned on.

[0241] Used to mark PDU Set information;

[0242] Used to identify data bursts (for example, information in the protocol header of the protocol description information can be used to identify the PDU Set information to which the data packet belongs);

[0243] Used to mark data burst information.

[0259] RTP or SRTP is used in conjunction with other RTP header extensions that conform to RFC 8285

[189] and RTP payload formats such as H.264

[187] or H.265

[0260] Alternatively, by combining the protocol description information option of SRTP with the RTP payload format, the UPF can still obtain some PDU set information from the RTP header.

[0261] When including RTP header extensions for PDU set marking (as defined in TS26.522

[179] ) or other RTP header extensions as described in RFC 8285

[189] , the distinction between different RTP header extension types should be supported.

[0322] In one implementation, when the first QoS parameter is multiple first QoS parameters,

[0323] - A satisfied QoS not matching a first QoS parameter can mean that the satisfied QoS does not match at least one of the first QoS parameters. For example, a satisfied QoS matching some first QoS parameters but not matching others also falls under the category of a satisfied QoS not matching a first QoS parameter.

[0349] In one implementation, the absence of a replaceable set of QoS parameters for the first object can be understood as the absence of any replaceable set of QoS parameters for the first object.

[0350] In one implementation: the PDU Set QoS processing is a PDU Set QoS processing for a first object. The statement that "not applying or stopping PDU Set QoS processing" includes not applying or stopping PDU Set QoS processing for the first object.

[0366] In one implementation, when the fifth QoS parameter includes multiple QoS parameters,

[0367] - A satisfied QoS mismatch of the fifth QoS parameter includes: a satisfied QoS not matching at least one of the fifth QoS parameters. For example, a satisfied QoS matching some of the fifth QoS parameters but not matching other QoS parameters is also considered a satisfied QoS mismatch of the fifth QoS parameter.

[0368] - The satisfied QoS match fifth QoS parameter includes: all QoS parameters in the satisfied QoS match fifth QoS parameter.

[0369] - The fifth QoS parameter not being satisfied includes: at least one of the fifth QoS parameters not being satisfied.

[0370] - The fifth QoS parameter being satisfied includes: all QoS parameters in the fifth QoS parameter being satisfied.

[0371] The fifth QoS parameter includes one of the following: a first QoS parameter, a second QoS parameter, a third QoS parameter, a fourth QoS parameter, a first PDU Set QoS parameter, a PDU Set QoS parameter, or a packet-level QoS parameter.

[0372] In one implementation, the satisfied QoS does not match any set of alternative QoS parameters, the lowest priority set of alternative QoS parameters, and the third QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set means: the satisfied QoS does not match any set of alternative QoS parameters, the lowest priority set of alternative QoS parameters, and at least one third QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set.

[0373] In one implementation, the PDU Set QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set that is satisfied does not match means at least one PDU Set QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set that is satisfied does not match.

[0374] In one implementation, the fact that a PDU Set QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set is not satisfied indicates that at least one PDU Set QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set is not satisfied.

[0375] In one implementation, the satisfied QoS matches one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, and the fourth QoS parameter in the second QoS parameter set represents: the satisfied QoS matches one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, and all fourth QoS parameters in the second QoS parameter set.

[0376] In one implementation, one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, wherein a fourth QoS parameter in a second QoS parameter set is satisfied or can be satisfied, means that all fourth QoS parameters in one or more alternative QoS parameter sets in a second QoS parameter set are satisfied or can be satisfied.

[0377] In this embodiment, the QoS parameter set can be simply referred to as the parameter set, such as the first QoS parameter set being referred to as the first parameter set, and the second QoS parameter set being referred to as the second parameter set.

[0378] In one implementation, the PDU Set QoS parameters in the first QoS parameter set are PDU Set QoS parameters in an alternative QoS parameter set.

[0379] In one implementation, if the PDU Set QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set is not satisfied, it can be understood that at least one QoS parameter in the PDU Set QoS parameter in the alternative QoS parameter set is not satisfied.

[0380] In one implementation, the satisfied QoS matching fourth QoS parameter can be understood as the satisfied QoS matching all QoS parameters in one or more alternative QoS parameter sets.

[0381] In one implementation, the fourth QoS parameter being satisfied can be understood as all QoS parameters in one or more alternative QoS parameter sets being satisfied.

[0382] In one implementation, when there are multiple alternative QoS parameter sets, the third QoS parameter can represent a QoS parameter in one of the alternative QoS parameter sets. If the third QoS parameter includes multiple QoS parameters, the third QoS parameter cannot be a parameter composed of QoS parameters from multiple alternative QoS parameter sets.

[0383] In one implementation, the satisfied QoS matching one or more alternative QoS parameter sets (e.g., matching one or more alternative QoS parameter sets in priority order) can mean that, for one of the alternative QoS parameter sets, the satisfied QoS matches the fourth QoS parameter in the alternative QoS parameter set.

[0384] In one implementation, if one or more alternative QoS parameter sets are satisfied, it can mean that, for one of the alternative QoS parameter sets, the fourth QoS parameter in the alternative QoS parameter set is satisfied.

[0385] In one implementation, the satisfied QoS not matching any set of alternative QoS parameters can be expressed as: for one set of alternative QoS parameters, the satisfied QoS does not match the third QoS parameter in the set of alternative QoS parameters.

[0386] In one implementation, the fact that any set of alternative QoS parameters is not satisfied can be expressed as follows: for one set of alternative QoS parameters, the third QoS parameter in the set of alternative QoS parameters is not satisfied.

[0387] In one implementation, the QoS not matching the lowest priority set of alternative QoS parameters can be represented as: the QoS not matching the third QoS parameter in the lowest priority set of alternative QoS parameters.

[0388] In one implementation, if the set of lowest priority alternative QoS parameters is not satisfied, it can mean that the third QoS parameter in the set of lowest priority alternative QoS parameters is not satisfied.

[0389] In this context, the QoS requirement that does not match any alternative QoS parameter set, the lowest priority alternative QoS parameter set, and the third QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set can be understood as: the QoS requirement that does not match any alternative QoS parameter set, and at least one of the third QoS parameters in the lowest priority alternative QoS parameter set. For example, if the third QoS parameter is PSDB, and there are 5 alternative QoS parameter sets including PSDB, then the QoS requirement that does not match any alternative QoS parameter set, and the third QoS parameter in the lowest priority alternative QoS parameter set, can mean: the QoS requirement that does not match any of the PSDB parameters in all of these 5 alternative QoS parameter sets.

[0397] In one implementation, the QoS profile includes alternative QoS profiles. In another implementation, the QoS profile does not include alternative QoS profiles. The QoS profile (which can be understood as the original QoS profile) and the alternative QoS profiles are independent QoS profiles. Specifically, the first object has an alternative set of QoS parameters, which can be understood as the QoS profile of the first object containing at least one alternative set of QoS parameters.

[0518] If the first QoS parameter is a PDU Set QoS parameter, and the GFBR is not satisfied but the PDU Set QoS parameter is satisfied, then the satisfied QoS matches the first QoS parameter.

[0634] It is not difficult to understand that, based on the first piece of information, the meaning of at least one of the following can be determined: notification, index of the set of alternative QoS parameters.

[0635] For example, if PDU Set QoS processing is applied, the notification indicating that QoS is satisfied can indicate that the first QoS parameter is satisfied.

[0640] Please refer to Figure 3 This application provides a communication processing method applied to a second communication device. The second communication device includes, but is not limited to, core network (CN) devices (such as CN devices supporting at least one of the following: SMF, PCF, NEF). The method includes:

[0641] Step 31: The second communication device performs a second operation, which includes at least one of the following:

[0642] Receive at least one of the first information and the first reason sent by the first communication device.

[0643] Based on the received information, perform at least one of the following:

[0644] Send at least one of the first information and the first reason to the third communication device;

[0645] Send or update the QoS parameters of the first object to the first communication device, wherein the QoS parameters of the first object do not include the PDU Set QoS parameters;

[0646] Send or update the QoS parameters of the first object to the first communication device, wherein the QoS parameters of the first object include PDU Set QoS parameters;

[0647] Send a second message or a protocol description message to the terminal, wherein the second message is used for one of the following: requesting the terminal to delete the protocol description message, or notifying the terminal that the protocol description message is invalid;

[0648] Determine the meaning of at least one of the received notifications and the QoS index;

[0649] in,

[0651] The first reason is used to indicate why PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is turned off;

[0652] The notification instruction may or may not be satisfied;

[0653] The QoS index is used to indicate the set of QoS parameters that are satisfied.

[0654] In one embodiment, sending QoS parameters of a first object to a first communication device, wherein the QoS parameters of the first object do not include PDU Set QoS parameters, can be understood as sending a QoS configuration file of the first object to the first communication device, wherein the QoS configuration file of the first object does not include PDU Set QoS parameters.

[0655] In one implementation, even if the first communication device supports PDU Set processing, PDU Set QoS processing may still not be applied.

[0656] In one implementation, the protocol description information is the protocol description information previously sent to the terminal, which may be uplink protocol description information.

[0657] Optionally, the second communication device includes core network equipment, such as SMF, PCF, or NEF. The second communication device receives and sends the first information and / or the first reason to the third communication device.

[0658] Optionally, the third communication device includes core network equipment, such as PCF, NEF, or AF.

[0659] In one implementation, the RAN network element, upon meeting a first condition or a second condition, does not apply or disables PDU Set QoS processing; and sends at least one of a first message and a first reason to the SMF to indicate at least one of the following: PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, and the reason for the PDU Set QoS processing not being applied. After receiving the first message and at least one of the first reasons, the SMF sends the first message and at least one of the first reasons to the AF.

[0660] In one implementation, the RAN network element, upon meeting a third condition, does not apply or disables uplink PDU Set QoS processing; and sends at least one of a first message and a first reason to the SMF to indicate at least one of the following: the uplink PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, and the reason for the uplink PDU Set QoS processing not being applied. After receiving at least one of the first message and the first reason, the SMF sends the first message and at least one of the first reasons to the PCF.

[0661] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the second communication device does not apply or disables PDU SetQoS processing, the PDU SetQoS parameters in the QoS configuration file of the first object become meaningless and can be deleted to reduce overhead; similarly, the protocol description information of the terminal also becomes meaningless and can be deleted to reduce overhead.

[0662] In one embodiment, after the first communication device does not apply or disables PDU Set QoS processing, the second communication device sends a QoS profile of a first object to the first communication device, and the QoS profile of the first object does not include PDU Set QoS parameters.

[0663] In one embodiment, the second communication device sends second information to the terminal after the first communication device does not apply or disables PDU Set QoS processing.

[0664] In one implementation, the second operation further includes receiving at least one of a notification (such as a notification corresponding to the first object) and a QoS index (such as an index of an alternative set of QoS parameters), the notification indicating whether the QoS is satisfied or not. The index of the alternative set of QoS parameters is generally received only if it indicates that the QoS is not satisfied.

[0665] In one implementation, a notification (such as a notification corresponding to a first object) and at least one of an index of an alternative set of QoS parameters are received from a first communication device.

[0666] It is not difficult to understand that, based on the first piece of information, the meaning of at least one of the following can be determined: notification, index of the set of alternative QoS parameters.

[0667] For example, if PDU Set QoS processing is applied, the notification indicating that QoS is satisfied can indicate that the first QoS parameter is satisfied. Conversely, if PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, the notification indicating that QoS is satisfied can indicate that the second QoS parameter is satisfied.

[0668] For example, if PDU Set QoS processing is applied, it can mean that the third QoS parameter in the QoS parameter set (such as the alternative QoS parameter set) indicated by the QoS index (the index of the alternative QoS parameter set) is satisfied. If PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, it can mean that the fourth QoS parameter in the QoS parameter set (such as the alternative QoS parameter set) indicated by the index is satisfied.

[0723] Through the embodiments of this application, the second communication device, applying the above method, can learn whether PDU Set QoS processing is applied or not through the first information, and / or, through the first reason, learn the reason why PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is turned off, thus achieving consistency between the sending end and the receiving end in their understanding of whether PDU Set QoS processing is applied or not. Furthermore, at least one of the received first information and the first reason can be sent to the third communication device so that the third communication device can perform appropriate subsequent processing. In addition, the QoS parameters of a first object, excluding PDU Set QoS parameters, can be sent or updated to the first communication device; second information or protocol description information can be sent to the terminal, the second information being used to request the terminal to delete the protocol description information, and / or to notify the terminal that the protocol description information is invalid, thereby saving costs. The QoS parameters of a first object, including PDU Set QoS parameters, can also be sent or updated to the first communication device; and / or, the meaning of at least one of the received notification and QoS index can be determined.

[0724] It should be noted that this method is implemented in conjunction with the communication processing method executed by the first communication device described above. The implementation of the above method embodiment is applicable to this method and can achieve the same technical effect.

[0741] The first policy rule is either a policy rule that binds to the first QoS flow or a certain policy rule.

[0742] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the first communication device does not apply or disables PDU SetQoS processing, the PDU SetQoS parameters become meaningless and can be deleted to reduce overhead; similarly, the protocol description information also becomes meaningless and can be deleted to reduce overhead. The third communication device may also perform at least one of the following: sending or updating a first policy rule to the second communication device, wherein the first policy rule includes at least one of the following: PDU SetQoS parameters, protocol description information; determining the meaning of at least one of the received notifications and QoS indexes.

Furthermore, at least one of the received first information and the first reason can be sent to the fourth communication device so that the fourth communication device can perform appropriate subsequent processing. In addition, a first policy rule that does not include at least one of the PDU Set QoS parameters and protocol description information can be sent to the second communication device, thereby saving costs.

[0857] Optionally, the first information is sent if at least one of the seventh or ninth conditions is met.

[0858] Optionally, the seventh condition includes at least one of the following:

[0859] The process can be changed from applying PDU Set QoS processing to applying packet-level QoS processing, or from applying packet-level QoS processing to applying PDU Set QoS processing.

[0860] Determine whether PDU Set QoS processing is applied or not;

[0861] The PDU Set QoS processing changes from being applied to not being applied, or from not being applied to not being applied.

[0862] The conditions for sending a QoS notification are met or a QoS notification needs to be sent.

[0869] The QoS parameters of the first object are received, and the QoS parameters include PDU Set QoS parameters.

[0870] Optionally, sending the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0871] In the event that a QoS notification is sent to the second communication device, the first information is sent;

[0872] Send the first information in at least one of the following messages:

[0879] The PDU Set QoS processing is performed when the terminal or the first object does not support PDU Set processing or does not support the recognition of PDU Set information in the case of uplink PDU Set QoS processing.

[0880] Optionally, the RAN sends to the SMF at least one of a notification (such as the notification corresponding to the first object) and an index of an alternative set of QoS parameters, the notification indicating whether the QoS is satisfied or not. The index of the alternative set of QoS parameters is generally sent only when indicating that the QoS is not satisfied.

[0881] Step 3: The SMF sends at least one of the first information and the first reason received from the RAN to the PCF;

[0882] Optionally, if PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is disabled, or if packet-level QoS processing is applied or enabled, the SMF performs at least one of the following:

[0883] Send or update the QoS profile of the first object to the RAN device, wherein the QoS profile of the first object does not include the PDU Set QoS parameters;

[0884] Send a second message to the terminal, the second message being used for one of the following: requesting the terminal to delete the protocol description information, or notifying the terminal that the protocol description information is invalid.

[0885] Optionally, the SMF sends to the PCF a notification (such as the notification corresponding to the first object) and at least one of the indices of an alternative set of QoS parameters, the notification indicating whether the QoS is satisfied or not.

[0886] Step 4: The PCF sends at least one of the first information and the first reason received from the SMF to the NEF or AF.

[0894] The same applies to the downward direction.

[0895] It is not difficult to understand that, based on the first piece of information, the meaning of at least one of the following can be determined: notification, index of the set of alternative QoS parameters.

[0896] For example, if PDU Set QoS processing is applied, the notification indicating that QoS is satisfied can indicate that the first QoS parameter is satisfied. Conversely, if PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, the notification indicating that QoS is satisfied can indicate that the second QoS parameter is satisfied.

[0897] For example, if PDU Set QoS processing is applied, it can mean that the third QoS parameter in the set of alternative QoS parameters indicated by the index of the set of alternative QoS parameters is satisfied. If PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, it can mean that the fourth QoS parameter in the set of alternative QoS parameters indicated by the index is satisfied.

[0934] Determine whether to apply PDU Set QoS processing to the first object;

[0935] The QoS parameters of the first object are received, and the QoS parameters include PDU Set QoS parameters.

[0936] Optionally, sending the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0937] In the event that a QoS notification is sent to the second communication device, the first information is sent;

[0938] Send the first information in at least one of the following messages:

[0941] Switch between request messages, demand messages, or completion messages;

[0942] A PDU session resource modification completion message, or a PDU Set resource modification response message.

[0943] Among them, the first QoS parameter, the second QoS parameter, the third QoS parameter, the fourth QoS parameter, and the first PDU Set QoS parameter are the same as in scenario 1.

[0944] Step 3: The SMF sends the first information received from the RAN to the PCF.

[0945] Optionally, if PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or is disabled, or if packet-level QoS processing is applied or enabled, the SMF performs at least one of the following:

[0948] Optionally, the SMF sends to the PCF a notification (such as the notification corresponding to the first object) and at least one of the indices of an alternative set of QoS parameters, the notification indicating whether the QoS is satisfied or not.

[0949] Step 4: The PCF sends the first message received from the SMF to the NEF or AF.

[0950] Optionally, when PDU Set QoS processing is applied or enabled, the third communication device sends or updates the first policy rule to the second communication device, and the first policy rule includes at least one of the following: PDU Set QoS parameters and protocol description information.

[0952] It is not difficult to understand that, based on the first piece of information, the meaning of at least one of the following can be determined: notification, index of the set of alternative QoS parameters.

[0953] For example, if PDU Set QoS processing is applied, the notification indicating that QoS is satisfied can indicate that the first QoS parameter is satisfied. Conversely, if PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, the notification indicating that QoS is satisfied can indicate that the second QoS parameter is satisfied.

[0954] For example, if PDU Set QoS processing is applied, it can mean that the third QoS parameter in the set of alternative QoS parameters indicated by the index of the set of alternative QoS parameters is satisfied. If PDU Set QoS processing is not applied, it can mean that the fourth QoS parameter in the set of alternative QoS parameters indicated by the index is satisfied.
