MC7430 - UE-Initiated Dedicated Bearer Request

Hi everyone,

Is the MC7430 capable of requesting a dedicated bearer? Where can I see the QoS capabilities of this modem?

I’ve found some topics on the forum regarding this subject, but it is not clear to me if the modem can send a Dedicated Bearer Request, and if this can be triggered with AT commands:

I have access to a private LTE network, in the LTE network traces I see no bearer request messages while sending a few combinations of the following AT commands:
AT+CGEQMIN=1,0,64,64,3,3,0,1500,“1E4”,“1E5”,0,10,1
AT+CGEQREQ=1,0,64,64,4,4,0,1500,“1E4”,“1E5”,0,10,1
AT+CGACT=1,1

Is there a way to check what messages the MC7430 is sending to the network?

I got these AT commands from 3GPP TS 27.007 V15.3.0 (2018-09), but based on the 3GPP documentation I’ve read so far it’s not clear to me if this is supposed or sufficient to trigger a UE-Initiated Dedicated Bearer Request message.

Many Thanks
BR

I used to test QoS but these were all NTWK initiated test cases. For QoS you have to have the right subscription with dedicated bearer support.
First I’d check with your carrier, the main North American carriers I was dealing with do not support UE initiated dedicated bearers.

With SLQS SDK you can monitor the dedicated bearer establishment with callback “SetSLQSSetQosNWStatusCallback”

Here is an example (Callbox)
