This section is only applicable to the lab application.
Association between ReservationLabel, IP Flow, and QoS profile is established via negotiation of attributes Reservation KK QoSRequestFwd and Reservation KK QoSRequestRev which specify a set of Profile IDs (see EMPA Profile ID for details). The AT doesn't interpret the Profile ID, but just sends it to the AN in an MFPA/EMPA message to request additional IP flows.
IP Configuration Rules (see IP Config Rule for details) are used to configure requested IP Flows for EMPA: which RLP FLow (see EMPA Link Flow Mapping for details) to map, EMPA Reservation Idle State , EMPA AN Scheduler Priority (0 is lowest) and Data Throughput Monitor Context (see EMPA Forward IP Config Rule DTM Context and EMPA Reverse Link Flow DTM Context for details).
IP Configuration Rule specifies how the Profile IDs requested are applied to the EMPA IP Forward/Reverse Configuration Rule Profile ID and determines if there is a "match". If IP FLows don't match any EMPA IP Forward/Reverse Configuration Rule Profile ID, they will be configured by the Default Rule. Then the IP Flows will be mapped to the Link FLow specified by the EMPA Link Flow Mapping of the Default Rule. However if the Link Flow you set is not be activated by EMPA Link Parameters , the IP Flows will be mapped to the Default Link Flow (Link Flow 00).
Six IP Configuration Rules (Rule1 - Rule6) and one default rule can be selected to configure requested IP Flows for EMPA. When a session is open, changing the IP Configuration Rule will not result in a session re-negotiation.
Different Applications have different QoS requirements, all QoS for a certain application is called QoS profile for this application. In oder to distinguish QoS profiles, the QoS profile is specified as a single 16-bit number profile ID. Profile ID is used by the test set to map forward/Reverse IP Flows to Link Flows.
This setting is used by the test set to map requested IP Flows to Link Flows. The test set supports 5 Link Flows: Flow 00, Flow 01, Flow 02, Flow 03 and Flow 04.
This setting is used to configure how the reservation state changes according to the call connection state.
This setting assigns a priority for the test set to use when deciding which flow to send to the AT. Lower numbers indicate higher priority. The test set will use MFPA/EMPA KK Forward Flow Requested Priority first, then MFPA IP Forward Mapping Rule AN Scheduler Flow Priority when determining a flow's priority.
This setting specifies to which context the Forward IP Flows will be used in
Data Throughput Monitor
. In the Forward Link, this setting is defined per IP Config Rule, there are 7 settings (including default rule). The Forward IP Flows can map to
Context 1 Rx
,
Context 2 Rx
,
Context 3 Rx
,
Context 4 Rx
or
None
.
In order to make Contexts which represent different applications easy to be distinguished on the
Data Throughput Monitor
screen. Users can set the name for each Context according to the applications by using this setting. Ten names can be selected:
Audio Rx
,
BE Rx
,
Context 1 Rx
,
Control Rx
,
Gaming Rx
,
RTCP Rx
,
SIP RX
,
Text Rx
,
Video Rx
and
VOIP Rx
.
This setting specifies which context the Reverse IP Flows will map used in
Data Throughput Monitor
. In the Reverse Link, this setting is defined per RLP Flow, there are 5 settings. The Reverse IP Flows can map to
Context 1 Tx
,
Context 2 Tx
,
Context 3 Tx
,
Context 4 Tx
or
None
.
