1. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
identifying a core network (CN) connectivity associated with one of a 5th generation (5G) core (5GC) or an evolved packet core (EPC); and
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a data radio bearer (DRB) configuration,
wherein, in case that the CN connectivity is associated with the 5GC, the DRB configuration includes mapping information between a DRB and a quality of service (QoS) flow in a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, and
wherein, in case that the CN connectivity is associated with the EPC, the DRB configuration includes an evolved packet system (EPS) bearer identity (ID).
