This Annex contains examples with mappings of SDP parameters to QoS parameters (TS 23.107) for MTSI.
The bitrates used in these QoS examples for MBR and GBR for MBR=GBR bearers and for MBR for MBR > GBR bearers are based on the highest bitrates possible with the codecs, profiles and levels defined in clause 5.2. The bitrates used for GBR for MBR > GBR bearers are chosen to still give usable quality levels.
The 'a=bw-info' attributed defined in clause 19 can be used to provide additional bandwidth information for the setting of MBR and GBR and also to align the resource allocation end-to-end, see also clauses 6.2.5 and 6.2.7.
The bearer setup also depends on the outcome of the SDP offer-answer negotiation. The QoS profiles shown below assume that both end-points agree on using the codecs and bitrates as described in each respective example.
The QoS Class Identifier (QCI) (TS 23.203) and 5G QoS Indentifier (5QI) (TS 23.501) are used to describe the packet forwarding treatment for different media types. The Table below gives a few examples for how the QCI/5QI can be set for different media types.
Dedicated non-GBR bearer or default non-GBR bearer
6, 8 or 9
Real-time text
Dedicated non-GBR bearer or default non-GBR bearer
6, 8 or 9
Data channel
Dedicated GBR or non-GBR, or default non-GBR bearer
71, 72, 73, 74, 76, or 9
This mapping assumes that the QCIs are used as described in TS 23.203, Table 6.1.7 for LTE access, and 5QIs as described in TS 23.501, Table 5.7.4-1 for NR access.

Transfer delay (ms)
130 ms

Allocation/Retention priority
Subscribed value
Indicates the relative importance to other radio access bearers. It should be a lower value to the priority of a Conversational bearer with source statistics descriptor 'speech'.
Source statistics descriptor
'unknown'
Using a conversational class bearer means that resources are reserved throughout the session. Depending on the intended usage of real-time text, it might not be the most resource efficient choice to use a conversational class bearer, especially if it is foreseen that the sessions will be long-lived while the actual text conversations will be rare and bursty. Table E.4 therefore shows an example with QoS mapping for using an interactive class bearer. It is recommended to use QCI 6, 8, or 9 (TS 23.203) for T.140 real-time text unless the service policy decides to assign different QCI types.
