Up
The AMF initiates the procedure by sending a PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message to the NG-RAN node.
The PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message shall contain the information required by the NG-RAN node, which may trigger the NG-RAN configuration modification for the existing PDU sessions listed in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request List IE.
Upon reception of the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, if the NG-RAN configuration is triggered to be modified and if resources are available for the modified NG-RAN configuration, the NG-RAN node shall execute the configuration modification for the requested PDU session.
If the RAN Paging Priority IE is included in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node may use it to determine a priority for paging the UE in RRC_INACTIVE state.
For each PDU session, if the S-NSSAI IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Item IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall replace the previously provided S-NSSAI by the received S-NSSAI for the concerned PDU session and use it as specified in TS 23.502.
For each PDU session, if the Network Instance IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message and the Common Network Instance IE is not present, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, use it as specified in TS 23.501.
For each PDU session, if the Common Network Instance IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE or in the Additional UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE, or in the Additional Redundant UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, use it when selecting transport network resource for the concerned NG-U transport bearer as specified in TS 23.501.
For each PDU session, if the Redundant Common Network Instance IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, use it for the redundant transmission as specified in TS 23.501.
For each PDU session, if the TSC Traffic Characteristics IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, store it and use it as specified in TS 23.501. If the RAN Feedback Type IE is included in the TSC Traffic Characteristics IE, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, take this information into account when determining the feedback to provide in the TSC Traffic Characteristics Feedback IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message as specified in TS 23.501.
For each PDU session, if the Redundant QoS Flow Indicator IE is included and set to "false" for all QoS flows, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, stop the redundant transmission and release the redundant tunnel for the concerned PDU session as specified in TS 23.501.
For each PDU session, if the Downlink TL Container IE for a QoS flow is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, handle it as specified in TS 29.585 and shall include the Uplink TL Container IE for the indicated QoS flow in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE as specified in TS 29.585.
For each PDU session in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, if the Alternative QoS Parameters Set List IE is included in the GBR QoS Flow Information IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE of the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node may accept the setup of the QoS flow when notification control has been enabled if the requested QoS parameters or at least one of the alternative QoS parameters sets can be fulfilled at the time of setup. In case the NG-RAN node accepts the setup fulfilling one of the alternative QoS parameters it shall indicate the alternative QoS parameters set which it currently fulfils in the Current QoS Parameters Set Index IE within the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE of the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message. If the NG-RAN node receives a PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message containing the Delay Critical IE in the Dynamic 5QI Descriptor IE of the QoS Flow Level QoS Parameters IE of the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE set to the value "delay critical" but the Maximum Data Burst Volume IE is not present in the Alternative QoS Parameters Set List IE, the NG-RAN node shall use the Maximum Data Burst Volume IE included in the Dynamic 5QI Descriptor IE.
For each PDU session included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request List IE:
  • For each QoS flow included in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Request List IE, based on the QoS Flow Level QoS Parameters IE, the NG-RAN node may establish, modify or release the DRB configuration and may change allocation of resources on NG or Uu accordingly. The NG-RAN node shall associate each QoS flow accepted to setup or modify which is not associated with an MBS QoS flow with a DRB of the PDU session. The associated DRB for the QoS flow accepted to modify may not change. If the PDU Set QoS Parameters IE is received, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, store the received PDU Set QoS Parameters in the UE context and use it as specified in TS 23.501. If the ECN Marking or Congestion Information Reporting Request IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, use it accordingly for the specific QoS flow. If the ECN Marking or Congestion Information Reporting Status IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE, the SMF shall, if supported, use it to deduce if ECN marking at NG-RAN or ECN marking at UPF or congestion information reporting is active or not active.
  • For each QoS flow, if the Redundant QoS Flow Indicator IE is included, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, store it and consider it for the redundant transmission as specified in TS 23.501.
  • For each QoS flow included in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Request List IE, if the QoS Flow Add or Modify Request Item IE is included for an existing QoS Flow Identifier IE, the NG-RAN node shall overwrite the content of the full QoS Flow Add or Modify Request Item IE.
  • For each QoS flow included in the QoS Flow to Release List IE, the NG-RAN node shall de-associate the QoS flow with the previously associated DRB.
  • For each QoS flow included in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Request List IE, if the UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE is included, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, include the DL NG-U UP TNL Information IE in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Response Item IE for the QoS flow within the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message as specified in TS 23.501.
  • For each QoS flow, if the Burst Arrival Time IE is included in the TSC Assistance Information Uplink IE of the TSC Traffic Characteristics IE, the NG-RAN node may include the AN Packet Delay Budget Uplink IE for the same QoS flow within the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message as specified in TS 23.501.
  • If the NAS-PDU IE is received for the PDU session, the NG-RAN node shall pass it to the UE only if at least one of the requests included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE is successful (i.e. the PDU session is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Item IE of the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message).
  • The NG-RAN node may change allocation of resources on NG according to the requested target configuration.
  • If the PDU Session Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node shall store and use the received PDU Session Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate value when enforcing traffic policing for Non-GBR QoS flows for the concerned UE as specified in TS 23.501.
  • If the UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE in the UL NG-U UP TNL Modify List IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node shall update the transport layer information for the uplink data accordingly for the concerned transport bearers identified by the DL NG-U UP TNL Information IE included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE for the concerned PDU session.
  • If the Additional UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node may allocate resources for an additional NG-U transport bearer for some or all of the QoS flows present in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Request List IE and it shall indicate these QoS flows in the Additional DL QoS Flow per TNL Information IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE. In case the Additional DL QoS Flow per TNL Information IE is not included the SMF shall consider the proposed additional UL NG-U UP TNL information as available again.
  • In case more than one NG-U transport bearers have been set up for the PDU session, if all the QoS flows associated to one existing NG-U transport bearer are included in the QoS Flow to Release List IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node and 5GC shall consider that the concerned NG-U transport bearer is removed for the PDU session, and both NG-RAN node and 5GC shall therefore consider the related NG-U UP TNL information as available again.
  • If the Redundant UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE within the UL NG-U UP TNL Modify List IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, update the transport layer information for the uplink data accordingly for the concerned transport bearer identified by the Redundant DL NG-U UP TNL Information IE included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE for the concerned PDU session.
  • If the Additional Redundant UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node may allocate resources for an additional redundant NG-U transport bearer for some or all of the QoS flows present in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Request List IE and it shall, if supported, indicate these QoS flows in the Additional Redundant DL QoS Flow per TNL Information IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE. In case the Additional Redundant DL QoS Flow per TNL Information IE is not included the SMF shall consider the proposed additional Redundant UL NG-U UP TNL information as available again.
  • If the Redundant UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node may allocate resources for a redundant NG-U transport bearer for some or all of the QoS flows present in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Request List IE and it shall, if supported, indicate the corresponding NG-RAN endpoint of this NG-U transport bearer in the Redundant DL NG-U UP TNL Information IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE.
  • If the Security Indication IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, only update the maximum integrity protected data rate uplink and/or the maximum integrity protected data rate downlink, and take them into account as defined in the PDU Session Resource Setup procedure.
  • If the User Plane Failure Indication IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Request Transfer IE, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, consider that the NG-U tunnel established for the PDU session experienced a user plane failure, and perform one of the below actions:
    • trigger the PDU Session Resource Modify Indication procedure to remove the tunnel for the associated QoS flows, in which case it shall set the User Plane Failure Indication Report IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE to "tunnel to be released".
    • trigger the PDU Session Resource Modify Indication procedure to move the associated QoS flows to the other existing tunnel, in which case it shall set the User Plane Failure Indication Report IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE to "QoS flows to be moved".
    • decide to establish a new NG-U tunnel to replace the failed one, in which case it shall include, as applicable, either the new DL NG-U UP TNL Information IE or the Additional DL NG-U UP TNL Information IE, and set the User Plane Failure Indication Report IE in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE to "new transport address allocated" and use the UL NG-U UP TNL Information IE in the User Plane Failure Indication IE for the uplink data.
For each QoS flow which has been successfully added or modified, if the QoS Monitoring Request IE was included in the QoS Flow Level QoS Parameters IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall store this information, and, if supported, perform delay measurement and QoS monitoring, as specified in TS 23.501. If the QoS Monitoring Reporting Frequency IE was included in the QoS Flow Level QoS Parameters IE contained in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall store this information and, if supported, use it for RAN part delay reporting.
The NG-RAN node shall report to the AMF, in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message, the result for each PDU session requested to be modified listed in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY REQUEST message:
  • For each PDU session which is successfully modified, the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE shall be included containing:
    1. The list of QoS flows which have been successfully setup or modified, if any, in the QoS Flow Add or Modify Response List IE in case the PDU Session Resource Modify procedure is triggered by QoS flow setup or modification.
    2. The list of QoS flows which have failed to be setup or modified, if any, in the QoS Flow Failed to Add or Modify List IE in case the PDU Session Resource Modify procedure is triggered by QoS flow setup or modification.
  • For each PDU session which failed to be modified, the PDU Session Resource Modify Unsuccessful Transfer IE shall be included containing the failure cause.
  • For each PDU session, if the DL NG-U UP TNL Information IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message, it shall be considered by the SMF as the new DL transport layer address for the PDU session. The NG-RAN also may indicate the mapping between each new DL transport layer address and the corresponding UL transport layer address assigned by the 5GC.
  • For each PDU session, if the Additional NG-U UP TNL Information IE is included in the PDU Session Resource Modify Response Transfer IE in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY RESPONSE message, it shall, if supported, be considered by the SMF as the new DL transport layer address(es) for the PDU session.
