APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR 5G QUALITY OF SERVICE INDICATOR MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

A device to host a service producer in a 5G system (or 5G system architecture), a method to be performed at the device, and a non-transitory storage device storing instructions to be executed at the device. The method includes: decoding a request from a service consumer to manage one or more 5G quality of service (QoS) indicators (5QIs), each 5QI including a 5QI value and corresponding 5QI characteristics; configuring one or more network functions (NFs) of the 5GS with the 5QIs based on the request; and encoding for transmission to the service consumer a message including a result of managing the one or more 5QIs.
