  • Patent number: 12713263
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling QoE report in a secondary node in a wireless communication system is provided. An SN transmits, to a UE, a configuration for Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement. The QoE measurement is initiated by an Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) and/or a master node (MN). An SN receives, from the UE, a QoE report based on the configuration. An SN determines whether to forward the QoE report to (i) a Trace Collection Entity (TCE) and/or a Measurement Collection Entity (MCE) and/or (ii) the MN, based on which entity among the OAM and/or the MN initiates the QoE measurement. An SN forwards the QoE report based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 12684405
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing uplink in-order packet delivery of a QoS flow offloaded in a 5G network are described. An uplink forwarding tunnel is established between a source and target node after a determination is made to offload a QoS flow of a UE to the target node. The source node receives a SDAP PDU from the UE that contains an end marker and, in response, sends a GTP-U end marker packet to the target node via the uplink forwarding tunnel. The target node buffer packets associated with the QoS flow received from the UE after establishment of the uplink forwarding tunnel until the GTP-U end marker packet is received from the target node via the uplink forwarding tunnel and, in response, sends the buffered packets to the 5GC.
