The embodiment of the invention is explained by taking a practical application scene as an example as follows:
the embodiment of the invention is a design scheme of the UL QoS identification of the flow-based QoS. The mapping method of UL flow QoS ID to DRB is realized by using special signaling so as to realize reflective QoS UL DRB mapping and UL transport marking. 1) for reflective QoS: the dedicated signaling transfers mapping of UL flow QoS M to DRB N, for example, the mapping of QoS flow M to DRB N is added in RRC reconfiguration signaling, and is sent to the ue. 2) And For UL, reserving the mapping of DRB N to QoS flow at RAN, realizing the function of transport marking at the RAN side, and reducing the waste of wireless air interfaces. For example, the RAN retains the mapping of IP flow T to QoS flow M, and pushes out M by T on the RAN side, thereby implementing the function of transport marking.
A specific application scenario flow, as shown in fig. 4, includes:
step 401, initial data session establishment and/or new QoS session establishment is required.
Step 402, transferring the mapping relation from the IP flow to the service quality flow.
Step 403, saving the mapping relationship from the IP flow to the service quality flow, and determining the mapping from the service quality flow to the air interface data bearer.
Step 404, transmitting the mapping relationship (including reflection QoS) of the uplink IP flow- > service quality flow- > air interface data bearer.
Step 405, receiving the downlink data stream, and identifying the service quality stream of the user in the downlink user plane data.
Step 406, the user data carries the service quality flow identifier of the user.
Step 407, analyzing the IP quintuple, and storing the mapping relationship from the IP stream to the service quality stream.
And step 408, mapping the service quality stream to an air interface data bearer, and transmitting.
Step 409, if the relation of the service quality flow to the empty data bearer changes for the reflection QoS, the terminal is notified through the RRC reconfiguration signaling.
Step 410, receiving the uplink data stream, and mapping the uplink data to an air interface data bearer.
Step 411, parsing the IP quintuple, obtaining the qos flow from the mapping table from the IP flow to the qos flow, and identifying uplink data transmission according to the qos flow.
And step 412, carrying the service quality flow identification in the uplink data flow and transmitting the service quality flow identification.
In the above scenario, the embodiment of the present invention is adopted, and a dedicated signaling is used to implement mapping of UL QoS flow to DRB, thereby avoiding waste caused by air interface transmitting QoS flow ID. And the mapping of IP flow T to QoS flow M is reserved at RAN, and M is pushed out by T at the RAN side, so that the function of transport marking is realized, and the waste of wireless air interfaces is reduced.
