Frequently Asked Questions

What does this QCI/5QI guide contain?
It covers the 9 standardized QCIs (1 to 9) with their complete parameters, the extended 5QI table for 5G NR, QCI to 5QI mapping, bearer types (GBR, Non-GBR, Delay-critical GBR) and service-by-service mapping (voice, video, signaling, IoT).
What is the difference between this guide and the free interactive table?
The free interactive table lets you look up QCI/5QI values online. This PDF guide goes deeper with detailed explanations, bearer setup diagrams, operator use cases and QoS diagnostic procedures. It is a complete reference document to take into the field.
Is this guide up to date with Release 18?
Yes. The guide includes 5QI values introduced in 3GPP Releases 16, 17 and 18, including Delay-critical GBR classes for Industry 4.0, V2X and URLLC applications.
