Abstract
A radio access network node may group traffic packets of a traffic flow directed to a user equipment according to quality-of-service metric targets associated with the packets. The node may append a group quality-of-service indication indicative of a group quality-of-service to a group of packets associated with a less stringent group quality-of-service metric target than is associated with the traffic flow. The group quality-of-service indication may be contained in a medium access control control element and may comprise an index or a quality-of-service metric target that is configured via a packet group configuration. Packets associated with different quality of service metric targets may be transmitted in the same transport block. The user equipment may avoid requesting retransmission of an unsuccessfully decoded packet based on the group quality of service indication, even if the unsuccessfully decoded packet would otherwise result in a violation of a quality-of-service associated with the traffic flow.
