  • Patent number: 11134419
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method of checking errors in parameters configured to a user equipment (UE). The method can include receiving at the UE a quality of service (QoS) rule related IE or the QoS flow description related IE for modifying or creating a QoS rule or a QoS flow description associated with an evolved packet system (EPS) bearer context of a packet data network (PDN) connection. The PDN connection can have a default EPS bearer context and optionally a dedicated EPS bearer context. It is determined whether the default EPS bearer context of the PDN connection is associated with a default QoS rule. When it is determined that the default EPS bearer context of the PDN connection is not associated with the default QoS rule, an error handling operation is performed.
