In some embodiments, mobile media services, augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) and other extended reality (XR) services, cloud games, Services such as remote control of machines or drones using video are expected to contribute increasing amounts of traffic to communication networks, such as 5G networks. XR services involve multimodal data streams. Multimodal data is data that describes the same service / application and is input from the same device or different devices (including sensors), which may be output to one or more destination device terminals. The data streams in multimodal data often have certain or even strong correlations, such as synchronization of audio and video streams, and synchronization of touch and vision. The data streams of this type of media services, the data streams between them, and the network transmission requirements of these service data streams all have some common characteristics. The effective identification and utilization of these characteristics will be more conducive to the transmission and control of networks and services, as well as service assurance and user experience. Extended Reality Media (XRM) services and interactive media services require the 5G system (5GS) to comprehensively consider the QoS characteristics of the relevant data flows of the services, such as the guaranteed bit rate (GBR) data flow with strict delay requirements (delay critical), the guaranteed forwarding burst rate (GFBR), the packet delay budget (PDB), the default maximum data burst volume (MDBV) and other parameters. Whether they can be met and coordinated. It involves multiple XRM data flows of a terminal (also called user equipment (UE)), and the consistency of QoS authorization and execution of XRM data flows of multiple UEs. At present, the QoS processing of multiplexed service data streams of 5GS has enhanced the processing based on the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) set, congestion control, transmission of XRM service ID to PCF for identifying service data streams and other functions. However, it cannot support the XRM service QoS requirements in many network deployment, transmission protocol and service deployment scenarios. For example, it supports the processing of non-encrypted application service data streams based on the protocol data set (PDU set based handling), supports the PDU set function of multiple protocols, and supports QoS enhancements such as multimedia type multiplexing in the same XRM service data stream. In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a method for processing a service data flow.

As shown in FIG3A , the method for processing a service data flow may include the following steps: In step S301, first information sent by a second network element is received, where the first information includes a QoS requirement of a multiplexed service data flow.

In some embodiments, the first network element PCF may obtain first information sent by the second network element AF, where the first information includes QoS requirements for multiplexed service data flows, and make a policy decision based on the first information. The multiplexed service data stream may refer to a data stream with multiple features multiplexed in a single end-to-end transmission connection, including different media types, connection IDs, stream IDs in the connection, frame types, frame IDs, or specified specific field IDs. The QoS characteristics of PDUs or PDU sets with different characteristics in the data stream are different, and QoS policies and guarantees can be specifically implemented for different QoS characteristics. The PCF makes policy decisions based on the first information, which can be used to determine whether it is necessary to adjust the policy or generate a new policy to identify and map data streams multiplexed with different media types in a single end-to-end connection to corresponding QoS flows. It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 3A may be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure.
