Claim 4:
5. A scheduling entity within a wireless communication network, comprising:
a processor;
a transceiver coupled to the processor;
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a plurality of Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) data protocol data units (PDUs) associated with a first QoS flow via both a first data radio bearer (DRB) and a second DRB from a scheduled entity via the transceiver;
receive an SDAP control PDU applicable to the first QoS flow via the first DRB from the scheduled entity via the transceiver; and
forward the plurality of SDAP data PDUs received via the second DRB to an upper layer conditional upon receiving the SDAP control PDU applicable to the first QoS flow via the first DRB;
wherein the SDAP control PDU provides an indication that a final SDAP data PDU associated with the first QoS flow has been transmitted on the first DRB.
