9.2.10 GBR QoS Information

36.4233GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)Release 17TSX2 Application Protocol (X2AP)

This IE indicates the maximum and guaranteed bit rates of a GBR E-RAB for downlink and uplink.

NOTE: For LTE DC, the SeNB regards the GBR QoS Information IE as an E-RAB level parameter also for E-RABs configured with the split bearer option, although for the split bearer option the bitrates signalled by the MeNB are typically not equal to the bitrates signalled by the MME for that E-RAB (see TS 36.300 [15]).
