Obtaining and providing assistance information to radio access network

Abstract

A session management function (SMF) transmits, to a user plane function (UPF), traffic periodicity information. The SMF receives, from the UPF, jitter information obtained by the UPF based on the traffic periodicity information and a packet delay measurement performed by the UPF. The SMF transmits the jitter and traffic periodicity information to a radio access network (RAN) as RAN assistance information e.g. as Time Sensitive Communication Assistance Information (TSCAI). The jitter and traffic periodicity information are for configuring a Connected Mode Discontinuous Reception (CDRX) procedure. The jitter information may be N6 jitter information; the jitter information and the traffic periodicity information may relate to Extended Reality and Media (XRM) services.
