The 5G-UPF supports new standard QoS Class Index (QCIs) based on 3GPP TS 23.203 Release 12, for Mission Critical and Push-to-Talk (MC/PTT) applications.

As part of this feature, the following functionalities are supported:

• Establishing a LTE/WiFi/5G-NR call with default bearer QCI/QFI with new standard non-GBR QCIs (69, 70 and 80). These are MC-PTT and 5G-NSA QCIs.

• Establishment of dynamic rule with new standard GBR/non-GBR QCI (65, 66, 69, 70, 80, 82, 83).

• Support for Extended QoS Bit Rates for DCNR-enabled UEs with new standard QCIs (80, 82, and 83).

• LTE to 5G and 5G to LTE HO, WiFi to 5G and 5G to WiFi HO, and LTE to WiFi and WiFi to LTE HO are supported.

• DSCP Marking in UL and DL direction based on new standard QCIs.

There is no configuration (or License) required at SMF or UPF to enable new standard QCIs.

At SMF, the following configuration is required to enable Extended QoS Bit Rates.

configure 
   profile dnn name 
      dcnr { true | false } 
      end 

• dcnr : Specifies to enable dual connectivity with new radio (DCNR).
