Distributed QoS control for multicast

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for group communication which may include a first UE and a set of UEs. In one aspect, the first UE may receive from each UE of the set of UEs a PDU including a header that includes a QoS level for the UE. The first UE can also determine a supported QoS level for the first UE. In another aspect, the first UE can set a transmission QoS level for the first UE to be a lowest QoS level of the determined supported QoS level and the QoS level from each UE of the set of UEs. In a further aspect, the first UE can transmit by multicast to the set of UEs a PDU based on the set transmission QoS level.
