priority, packet delay budget and packet error loss rate

Default Bearers
The initial Default EPS Bearer is created as part of the LTE Attach procedure. UE is allocated an IP address. QoS is based on the QCI and associated parameters. Additional Default EPS Bearers may be created when simultaneous access to services available via multiple Access Point Names (APN) is needed. Trigger of an additional Default EPS Bearer is initiated by UE. Default EPS Bearers are always non-GBR.

Dedicated EPS Bearers
Dedicated EPS Bearers (non-GBR or GBR) are created for QoS differentiation purposes. The IP address allocated for the default bearer is used for the dedicated EPS bearers within the same PDN connection. Utilization of default or dedicated EPS bearers is based on a Traffic Flow Template (TFT). Dedicated EPS Bearers are created by network. RL20 supports multiple dedicated EPS bearers (not supported in RL10) RL20 supports conversational voice on GBR dedicated EPS bearers (not supported in RL10)
The UE may have multiple dedicated EPS bearers linked to a default EPS bearer.

LTE7 Support of multiple EPS bearers

Multiple DRB (data radio bearers) can be either multiple default EPS
bearers or a combination of default and dedicated EPS bearers. The radio admission is extended by additional check of the total number of DRB per cell and maximum number of DRB per UE. The different EPS bearers per UE can have the same or a different QCI.

LTE9 Service differentiation for non-GBR EPS bearers

QCI based service differentiation
The service differentiation functionality allows to assign relative scheduling weights for each non-GBR QCI on cell level.
The relative weight will be considered by the uplink and the downlink scheduler.
The service differentiation functionality allows further on to define three different RLC/PDCP profiles per BTS which can be assigned to different QCIs. The operator can enable/disable the support of individual QCIs.

Motivation for ROHC (LTE11)

IP/UDP/RTP headers size can be either
40 bytes (52% of a packet) for IPv4 or even 60 bytes (63%) for IPv6 This means enormous waste of energy for transmitting headers instead of speech data
In order to prevent that waste, in RL20, in parallel to LTE10 Conversational Voice, there is also LTE11 feature which provides the functionality of Robust Header Compression For example, with ROHC, a 10 minutes of 12.2 kbps AMR coded VoIP call with talk spurt/silent period alternating every 1 second (SID packets excluded), the transmission overhead is reduced by 91.5%
actPdcpRohc activates the usage of PDCP Robust Header Compression LNCEL; false, true; false
26
RA41215EN20GLA1
Idea of compression
Uncompressed transmission
IP/UDP/RTP header consisting of predictable and unpredictable fields subjected to compression MAC header, RLC header, VoIP payload, CRC checksum - not subjected to compression
Compressed transmission
from now on assume Destination IP is 10.0.0.10 Initial transmission, context is initialized so that next transmissions can be compressed
10.0.0.10
10.0.0.10
10.0.0.10

In the course of transmission header fields initialized in context do not have to be transmitted
Field predictable in the course of transmission Destination IP
Unpredictable field
rohcMaxCid configures the maximum number of ROHC contexts used for a data radio bearer in one direction LNCEL; 1,,16;1; 4
