1. A network entity comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the network entity to:
obtain quality of service (QoS) profiles associated with a QoS flow;
obtain QoS capability information indicating whether a second network entity and/or a first network entity supports more than one QoS profile in the QoS profiles; and
send at least one message to the second network entity,
wherein the at least one message comprises at least one QoS profile in the QoS profiles according to the QOS capability information, and
wherein when the first network entity does not support more than one QoS profile and the second network entity supports more than one QoS profile, the at least one message comprises a session modification message that comprises the QoS profiles and that is sent after completion of a handover (HO) of a user equipment (UE) from the first network entity to the second network entity.
