METHODS FOR BUFFER STATUS REPORTING IN MULTIPLE CONNECTIVITY AND RELATED APPARATUS

A method performed by a user device having a multiple connectivity configuration with a plurality of radio links to a plurality of network nodes in a radio communication network is provided. The user device can determine a change occurred in an amount of uplink data available for transmission in a first uplink buffer of the user device on a first radio link of a plurality of radio link to first network node. Responsive to the change, the user device can trigger a buffer status report for transmission to a second network node of the plurality of network nodes on a second radio link of the plurality of radio links for which a change in an amount of uplink data available for transmission in a second uplink buffer was not determined. A method performed by the first network node is also provided.

QoS MAPPING

Systems and methods for Quality of Service (QoS) mapping based on latency and throughput are provided. A method performed by a first node for mapping Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) streams includes: receiving traffic class specific information for one or more TSN streams; and determining a set of one or more 5G QoS flows to support the traffic class. This provides solutions where 5QI table entries configured by a 5GS can result in underproviding or overproviding the payload capacity made available to support the traffic class. If less payload space is provided, then TSN stream payload corresponding to the traffic class will be lost. If more space is provided, then radio interface resources will be used inefficiently. As such, the solutions identified herein allow for more efficient use of radio interface resources associated with a 5G QoS flow used to support a set of TSN streams corresponding to a TSN traffic class.

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, devices and methods of wireless communications that improve transmission reliability for time sensitive traffic over multiple wireless communication links in a wireless TSN. The transmitting device can be configured for uplink QoS transmission according to transmission QoS information (e.g., a traffic profile) received from a TSN configuration server or from an application running on the transmitting device. For uplink transmission, the transmitting device can be a wireless STA or STA MLD operating over multiple wireless links to communicate with one or more wireless TSN-capable APs. The transmitting device can duplicate a frame for transmission when the measured transmission reliability is below a predetermined threshold of transmission reliability requirement. For downlink transmission, the transmitting device can be an AP MLD in communication with a TSN capable non-AP MLD for transmitting a duplicate transmission.
