9.11.4.10  PDU addressp. 1024

The purpose of the PDU address information element is to assign to the UE:
  • an IPv4 address associated with a PDU session;
  • an interface identifier for the IPv6 link local address associated with the PDU session; or
  • an IPv4 address and an interface identifier for the IPv6 link local address, associated with the PDU session.
This purpose of the PDU address information element is also to enable the W-AGF acting on behalf of the FN-RG to provide an interface identifier for the IPv6 link local address associated with the PDU session suggested to be allocated to the FN-RG, and to enable the SMF to provide SMF's IPv6 link local address to the W-AGF acting on behalf of the FN-RG.
The PDU address information element is coded as shown in Figure 9.11.4.10.1 and Table 9.11.4.10.1.
The PDU address is a type 4 information element with minimum length of 7 octets and a maximum length of 31 octets.

The purpose of the QoS flow descriptions information element is to indicate a set of QoS flow descriptions to be used by the UE, where each QoS flow description is a set of parameters as described in subclause 6.2.5.1.1.4.
The QoS flow descriptions information element is a type 6 information element with a minimum length of 6 octets. The maximum length for the information element is 65538 octets.

For the "Delete existing QoS flow description" operation, the E bit is encoded as follows:
0parameters list is not included
1reserved Bit
For the "modify existing QoS flow description" operation, the E bit is encoded as follows:
0extension of previously provided parameters
1replacement of all previously provided parameters
If the E bit is set to "parameters list is not included", the number of parameters field has zero value. If the E bit is set to "parameters list is included", the number of parameters field has non-zero value. If the E bit is set to "extension of previously provided parameters" or "replacement of all previously provided parameters", the number of parameters field has non-zero value. If the E bit is set to "extension of previously provided parameters" and one of the parameters in the new parameters list already exists in the previously provided parameters, the parameter shall be set to the new value. If the E bit is set to "replacement of all previously provided parameters list" and a parameter in the previously provided parameters is not provided in the new parameters list, the parameter shall be deleted.
Number of parameters (bits 6 to 1 of octet 6)
The number of parameters field contains the binary coding for the number of parameters in the parameters list field. The number of parameters field is encoded in bits 6 through 1 of octet 6 where bit 6 is the most significant and bit 1 is the least significant bit.
Parameters list (octets 7 to u)
The parameters list contains a variable number of parameters.
Each parameter included in the parameters list is of variable length and consists of:
  • a parameter identifier (1 octet);
  • the length of the parameter contents (1 octet); and
  • the parameter contents itself (variable amount of octets).
The parameter identifier field is used to identify each parameter included in the parameters list and it contains the hexadecimal coding of the parameter identifier. Bit 8 of the parameter identifier field contains the most significant bit and bit 1 contains the least significant bit. In this version of the protocol, the following parameter identifiers are specified:
  • 01H (5QI);
  • 02H (GFBR uplink);
  • 03H (GFBR downlink);
  • 04H (MFBR uplink);
  • 05H (MFBR downlink);
  • 06H (Averaging window); and
  • 07H (EPS bearer identity).
If the parameters list contains a parameter identifier that is not supported by the receiving entity the corresponding parameter shall be discarded.
The length of parameter contents field contains the binary coded representation of the length of the parameter contents field. The first bit in transmission order is the most significant bit.
When the parameter identifier indicates 5QI, the parameter contents field contains the binary representation of 5G QoS identifier (5QI) that is one octet in length.

The network shall consider all other values not explicitly defined in this version of the protocol as unsupported.
If the UE receives a 5QI value (excluding the reserved 5QI values) that it does not understand, the UE shall choose a 5QI value from the set of 5QI values defined in this version of the protocol (see TS 23.501) and associated with:
  • GBR QoS flows, if the QoS flow includes a GFBR uplink parameter, a GFBR downlink parameter, a MFBR uplink parameter and a MFBR downlink parameter; and
  • non-GBR QoS flows, if the QoS flow does not include any one of a GFBR uplink parameter, a GFBR downlink parameter, a MFBR uplink parameter or a MFBR downlink parameter.
The UE shall use this chosen 5QI value for internal operations only. The UE shall use the received 5QI value in subsequent NAS signalling procedures.
When the parameter identifier indicates "GFBR uplink", the parameter contents field contains one octet indicating the unit of the guaranteed flow bit rate for uplink followed by two octets containing the value of the guaranteed flow bit rate for uplink.
