Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to user plane traffic mapping. In an aspect, a first network device establishes a protocol data unit (PDU) session using a first user plane function (UPF) serving a terminal device connected with the first network device. The first network device determines a rule to be used for traffic detection and mapping at a second UPF used for wireless access backhauling for the first network device, based on transport network layer (TNL) information. In this way, the user plane traffic mapping, especially traffic mapping between a QoS flow of a terminal device and a QoS flow of mobile termination of a relay node can be improved.
