[0132] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0133] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second" are usually a category, and are not limited to the number of objects, 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, the protection scope of "A or B" at least covers three schemes, namely, scheme one: including A and not including B; scheme two: including B and not including A; scheme three: including A and B. In addition, the terms "A and / or B", "at least one of A and B", "at least one of A or B" also at least cover the above three schemes respectively. The character " / " generally represents that the objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0134] The term "indication" in this application can be either a direct indication (or explicit indication) or an indirect indication (or implicit indication). The direct indication can be understood as that the sender explicitly informs the receiver of specific information, operations to be performed or requested results, etc. in the sent indication. The 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 the requested results according to the judgment result.

[0135] It is worth noting that the techniques described in the embodiments of the present 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 the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described techniques can be used in the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies, as well as in other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for example purposes, and NR terminology is used in most of the following description, but these techniques can also be applied to systems other than the NR system, such as a 6th Generation (6G) communication system.

[0136] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the following technical points are first introduced.

[0137] When the PDU Set QoS processing is applied (such as PDU Set processing support ((UL RAN + UE support), downlink RAN support), resource sufficient, policy requirement met) case,

[0138] - In case at least one of the Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate (GFBR), PDU Set Delay Budget (PSDB), PDU Set Error Rate (PSER) in the Original QoS Profile is not fulfilled, the QoS notification is not fulfilled;

[0139] - In case all of the GFBR, PSDB, PSER in the Original QoS Profile are fulfilled, the QoS notification is fulfilled.

[0140] When PDU Set QoS handling is not applied (PDU Set handling is not supported (e.g. upper behavior is not supported by RAN or UE), downlink is not supported by RAN, or resource is not sufficient, policy requirement is not fulfilled),

[0141] - In case at least one of the GFBR, Packet Delay Budget (PDB), Packet Error Rate (PER) in the Original QoS Profile is not fulfilled, the QoS notification is not fulfilled;

[0142] - In case all of the GFBR, PDB, PER in the Original QoS Profile are fulfilled, the QoS notification is fulfilled.

[0143] Therefore, the following problems also need to be solved:

[0144] Problem 1: How to apply or not apply PDU Set QoS handling

[0145] Case 1: When there is no Alternative QoS Profile, PDU Set QoS handling is applied, and at least one of the GFBR, PSDB, PSER in the Original QoS Profile is not fulfilled, the GFBR, PDB, PER in the Original QoS Profile can be fulfilled. Then how to treat "PDU Set QoS handling"

[0146] One solution:

[0147] - In case that at least one of PSDB and PSER in Original QoS Profile is not met, and GFBR, PDB and PER in Original QoS Profile are met, the RAN supporting PDU Set handling can turn off PDU Set QoS handling;

[0148] - In case that at least one of PSDB and PSER in Original QoS Profile is met again after turning off PDU Set QoS handling, and GFBR is met, the RAN supporting PDU Set handling can apply or turn on PDU Set QoS handling.

[0149] Case2: When there is Alternative QoS Profile, and at least one of PSER and PSDB met by RAN does not match at least one of PSDB and PSER in any QoS Profile (Original QoS Profile and all Alternative QoS Profiles), how to treat "PDU Set QoS handling"

[0150] One solution:

[0151] - In case that at least one of GFBR, PSER and PSDB met by 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 in Original QoS Profile are met, the RAN supporting PDU Set handling can turn off PDU Set QoS handling;

[0152] - In case that at least one of GFBR, PSER and PSDB met by RAN matches GFBR, PSER and PSDB in any QoS Profile (Original QoS Profile and all Alternative QoS Profiles) after PDU Set QoS handling is not applied, the RAN supporting PDU Set handling can apply or turn on PDU Set QoS handling.

[0153] Problem 2: For the receiver (also called target) of QoS notification, there are also the following wrong understanding problems:

[0154] 1) Case1: When PDU Set QoS processing is supported, all PDU Set QoS parameters are not satisfied, resulting in PDU Set QoS processing not being applied.

[0155] Where, all PDU Set QoS parameters can be:

[0156] When there is an alternative QoS profile, PDU Set QoS parameters in both original and alternative QoS profiles;

[0157] When there is no alternative QoS profile, PDU Set QoS parameters in the original QoS profile.

[0158] Where, if the GFBR, PDB, PER in the Original QoS profile are all satisfied, PDU Set processing is closed and a QoS notification is sent indicating that it is not satisfied. The receiving end will infer that at least one of the GFBR, PDB, PER in the Original QoS profile is not satisfied.

[0159] One solution:

[0160] In the case where PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or closed, or packet-granularity QoS processing is applied or opened, the reason for PDU Set QoS processing not being applied or closed is sent.

[0161] 2) Case2: PDU Set processing not being applied due to PDU Set processing not being supported.

[0162] Where, if at least one of the GFBR, PDB, PER in the Original QoS profile is satisfied, PDU Set processing is closed and a QoS notification is sent indicating that it is not satisfied. The receiving end will infer that at least one of the GFBR, PDB, PER in the Original QoS profile is not satisfied.

[0163] One solution:

[0164] In the case where PDU Set QoS processing is not applied or closed, or packet-granularity QoS processing is applied or opened, the reason for PDU Set QoS processing not being applied or closed is sent.

[0346] In one embodiment, the QoS profile includes an alternative QoS profile. In another embodiment, the QoS profile does not include an alternative QoS profile. The QoS profile (which can be understood as the original QoS profile) and the alternative QoS profile are independent QoS profiles.

[0367] In an implementation, when the fifth QoS parameter includes multiple QoS parameters,

[0368] - the satisfied QoS does not match the fifth QoS parameter includes that the satisfied QoS matches at least one of the QoS parameters in the fifth QoS parameter. For example, the satisfied QoS matches some of the QoS parameters in the fifth QoS parameter but does not match other QoS parameters in the fifth QoS parameter, which also belongs to the satisfied QoS does not match the fifth QoS parameter.

[0369] - the satisfied QoS matches the fifth QoS parameter includes that the satisfied QoS matches all of the QoS parameters in the fifth QoS parameter.

[0375] In an implementation, the 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.

[0376] In an embodiment, the satisfied QoS matches one or more of the alternative QoS parameter sets, and the fourth QoS parameter in the second QoS parameter set indicates that the satisfied QoS matches all of the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets.

[0377] In an embodiment, the fourth QoS parameter in the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, the second QoS parameter set is satisfied or can be satisfied, indicates that all of the fourth QoS parameter in the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets, the second QoS parameter set is satisfied or can be satisfied.

[0378] In this embodiment, the QoS parameter set can be referred to as parameter set, such as the first QoS parameter set referred to as the first parameter set, and the second QoS parameter set referred to as the second parameter set.

[0379] In an embodiment, the PDU Set QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set is a PDU Set QoS parameter in the alternative QoS parameter set.

[0380] In an embodiment, the PDU Set QoS parameter in the first QoS parameter set is not satisfied, which can be understood as at least one of the PDU Set QoS parameters in the alternative QoS parameter set is not satisfied.

[0381] In an embodiment, the satisfied QoS matches the fourth QoS parameter, which can be understood as the satisfied QoS matches all of the QoS parameters in the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets.

[0382] In an embodiment, the fourth QoS parameter is satisfied, which can be understood as all of the QoS parameters in the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets are satisfied.

[0383] In an embodiment, when there are multiple alternative QoS parameter sets, the third QoS parameter is a QoS parameter in one of the alternative QoS parameter sets, and if the third QoS parameter includes multiple QoS parameters, the third QoS parameter cannot be a parameter composed of QoS parameters in multiple alternative QoS parameter sets.

[0384] 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.

[0385] 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.

[0386] 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.

[0387] 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.

[0388] 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.

[0389] In one implementation, the fact that the lowest priority set of available alternative QoS parameters is not satisfied can be interpreted as: the third QoS parameter in the lowest priority set of available alternative QoS parameters is not satisfied.

[0390] 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.
