As in this example, two non-3GPP devices mapped to PDU Session A initially used the default QoS Flow (QFI 1); when differentiated QoS is requested for one device, the 5G-RG binds its traffic to a Non-3GPP Device Identifier, and its traffic is mapped to a separate QoS Flow (QFI 2). Four non-3GPP devices mapped to PDU Session B based on their Connectivity Group ID X initially used the default QoS Flow (QFI 3); when differentiated QoS is requested for two of those four devices, the 5G-RG binds their traffic to Non-3GPP Device Identifiers, and their traffic is mapped to separate QoS Flows (QFI 4 and QFI 5). Similarly, three non-3GPP devices mapped to PDU Session C based on their Connectivity Group ID Y initially used the default QoS Flow (QFI 6); when differentiated, but the same, QoS is requested for two of those three devices, the 5G-RG binds their traffic to Non-3GPP Device Identifiers, and their traffic is mapped to a separate QoS Flow (QFI 7).
Figure C-2 illustrates a procedure which enables the 5GS to identify the traffic of individual non-3GPP devices initially using the same PDU Session behind a 5G-RG and provide differentiated QoS.
To provide connectivity to the non-3GPP device 1, the 5G-RG implements the existing behaviour of either using the URSP rule (optionally containing the Connectivity Group ID as described in clause 4.10b), or using UE Local Configuration, to map the traffic of the non-3GPP device 1 to a PDU Session.
To provide connectivity to the non-3GPP device 2, the 5G-RG implements the existing behaviour of either using the URSP rule (optionally containing the Connectivity Group ID as described in clause 4.10b), or using UE Local Configuration, to map the traffic of the non-3GPP device 2 to the same PDU Session as non-3GPP device 1.
The 5G-RG subscription owner or an authorized user, using mechanisms out of scope of 3GPP, requests differentiated QoS for the non-3GPP device 2 through the AF.
Based on the network configuration, either a 5G-RG requested PDU Session Modification, or a 5G-RG requested PDU Session Establishment procedure is triggered.
In response to step 1, using mechanisms out of scope of 3GPP, the operator portal returns a response to the 5G-RG subscription owner or the authorized user about the completion of the differentiated QoS request for non-3GPP device 2.
