10.1.00 General remark about 5GS PDU sessions and EPS PDN connections

27.0073GPPAT command set for User Equipment (UE)Release 18TS

According to 3GPP TS 23.501 [165] and 3GPP TS 24.501 [161] there exists a one to one mapping between a 5GS PDU session and an EPS PDN connection. A 5GS PDU session is a set of QoS flows consisting of one QoS flow of the default QoS rule and optionally one or more QoS flows of non-default QoS rule. A PDN connection is set of EPS bearer contexts and consists of at least one default EPS bearer context and optionally one or more dedicated EPS bearer contexts. A PDU session can be mapped to one default EPS bearer context and zero or more dedicated bearer EPS bearer contexts. An EPS bearer context can be mapped to one or more QoS flows. The mapping between a QoS flow and an EPS bearer context is not always one to one.
