Section: A.2 New QoS Flow with RQoS
Content: The following figure shows an example message flow when RQoS is used for a new QoS flow. In this example, the gNB receives from UPF a first downlink packet associated with a QFI for which the QoS parameters are known from the PDU session establishment, but for which there is no association to any DRB yet in AS. Figure A.2-1: DL data with new QFI sent over existing DRB 0. PDU session and DRB(s) have been already established. 1. gNB receives a downlink packet with a new QFI from UPF. 2. gNB decides to send the new QoS flow over an existing DRB. NOTE: If gNB decides to send it over a new DRB, it needs to establish the DRB first. 3. gNB sends the DL packet over the selected DRB with the new QFI and RDI set in the SDAP header. 4. UE identifies the QFI and RDI in the received DL packet and the DRB on which the packet was received. The AS mapping rules are then updated accordingly. 5. User Plane Data for the new QoS flow can then be exchanged between UE and gNB over the DRB according to the updated mapping rules and between UPF and gNB over the tunnel for the PDU session.
