1、Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
QoS flow to DRB mapping rule: a mapping rule determining on which DRB packets of a QoS flow shall be carried.
Reflective QoS flow to DRB mapping: a QoS flow to DRB mapping scheme where a UE monitors the QoS flow to DRB mapping rule in the DL, and applies it to in the UL.

2、SDAP General
2.1 SDAP 架構
SDAP結構:
下行 1個多個QOS流映射到一個DRB
上行 1個Qos流映射到一個DRB
SDAP實體:
可以為一個UE定義多個SDAP實體,一個PDU session配置一個SDAP實體;
2.2 SDAP服務
SDAP對用戶面上層提供的服務:
- transfer of user plane data.
SDAP期望的下層服務:
- user plane data transfer service;
- in-order delivery except when out of order delivery is configured by RRC .
2.3 SDAP功能
The SDAP sublayer supports the following functions:
- transfer of user plane data;
- mapping between a QoS flow and a DRB for both DL and UL;
- marking QoS flow ID in both DL and UL packets;
- reflective QoS flow to DRB mapping for the UL SDAP data PDUs.
