A user equipment (UE) is configured to access a first base station in a network via an access link, wherein the first base station is an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a first IAB network topology connected to a second base station via one or more backhaul links, wherein the second base station is an IAB-donor for the first base station, report, to the first base station, information for reducing a maximum data rate for the UE when the UE is deployed in one or more IAB network topologies and receive data packages with a reduced maximum data rate based on the reported information

Disclosed is technology for applying a differential QoS, that is, service quality for each communication service by implementing a differential QoS control in a radio section in a more detailed unit without an increase in complexity and load compared to a conventional bearer-based QoS control method.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an enhanced query and response message for a recommended bit rate for uplink and/or downlink streaming. The techniques generally include generating a query message indicating a requested data rate for streaming services, wherein the requested data rate is indicated via a bit rate field and one or more additional bits, and sending the query message to a base station.

In some implementations, a network device may monitor a communication session associated with a user equipment and a network. The network device may determine a service-level identifier associated with a subscription of the user equipment, wherein the subscription is for a particular level of service that is to be provided by the network to the user equipment. The network device may determine that a performance metric associated with the communication session satisfies a performance threshold associated with the particular level of service. The network device may provide the service-level identifier to the user equipment based on the performance metric satisfying the performance threshold, wherein the service-level identifier enables an indication that the user equipment is receiving the particular level of service to be displayed by the user equipment.

A relay management method includes a network device that obtains an identifier of a first terminal device; obtains relay limitation information of the first terminal device based on the identifier, where the relay limitation information indicates a quantity of relay devices that can be coupled to the first terminal device and/or an aggregate maximum bit rate (AMBR) that can be used by the first terminal device for a relay; and the network device determines, based on the relay limitation information, whether to allow the first terminal device to access a network through a second terminal device, where the second terminal device is a relay device of the first terminal device.

An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: determine (1100) that an aggregate bit rate for a network slice reached a threshold value; and adjust (1102) at least one of a maximum bit rate per terminal for the network slice or a maximum number of terminals allowed to operate on the network slice.

Embodiments of this application provide a relay communication method and a communication apparatus, and relate to the communications field. A network side may modify, based on a relay service of UE, an AMBR used by the UE, to satisfy an actual service requirement of the UE. The method includes: An access network device obtains an aggregate maximum bit rate AMBR of a first session and a user equipment UE granularity-based AMBR used when a first terminal device provides a relay service, where the first session is for transmitting data of a second terminal device, and the first terminal device is a relay device of the second terminal device; and the access network device modifies the AMBR of the first session based on the UE granularity-based AMBR.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify a first radio bearer to be used for sensing operations and a second radio bearer to be used for data communications. The base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a control message indicating the first radio bearer and the second radio bearer, where the first radio bearer and the second radio bearer may be indicative of a resource allocation for the sensing operations and the data communications. The UE may perform the sensing operations in accordance with a resource allocation, and perform the data communications in accordance with the resource allocation, where the resource allocation may be based on the first radio bearer and the second radio bearer. The UE may perform the sensing operations and the data communications in accordance with a joint communication and radar (JCR) system.

It is provided a method comprising: checking whether a maximum data rate for a subscriber for a network slice is received; monitoring, if the maximum data rate for the subscriber for the network slice is received, whether a hypothetical total data rate of all flows of the subscriber for the network slice would exceed the maximum data rate for the subscriber for the network slice if a grant to transmit data were provided for the subscriber for packets belonging to the network slice; inhibiting providing the grant for the subscriber if the hypothetical total data rate of all flows of the subscriber for the network slice exceeded the maximum data rate of the network slice if the grant were provided.

In one example, a base station entity, for a mobile wireless network, obtains an indication of a first potential Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR), a first unique identifier associated with the first potential GBR, a first priority level associated with the first potential GBR, a second potential GBR, a second unique identifier associated with the second potential GBR, and a second priority level associated with the second potential GBR. Based on the first priority level being associated with a higher priority than the second priority level, the base station entity determines whether the first potential GBR can be supported. If so, the base station entity provides an indication of the first unique identifier to a core network associated with the mobile wireless network, wherein the indication of the first unique identifier prompts the core network to enforce the first potential GBR.
