1. A method implemented by a network node in a wireless communication network (WCN) bridge, the method comprising:
receiving scheduling information for data traffic entering an ingress port of the WCN bridge, wherein the scheduling information comprises per-stream filtering and policing information for the ingress port and includes per-stream gate timing information for the data traffic at the ingress port;
mapping the data traffic to a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with the WCN bridge;
calculating, based on the scheduling information, radio access network (RAN) assistance information for use in scheduling data transmissions for a traffic flow in the PDU session; and
forwarding the RAN assistance information for use by a RAN scheduler.
