1. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more data storage devices configured to store data corresponding to mapping of quality of service (QoS) flows to data radio bearers; and
one or more processors operably coupled to the one or more data storage devices, the one or more processors configured to:
map one or more QoS flows to a data radio bearer (DRB) in an uplink (UL) responsive to receipt, by the UE from a cellular base station, of a user plane packet associated with the one or more QoS flows in a downlink (DL) through the DRB if an indication bit of the user plane packet indicates that reflective mapping, wherein the UE is to use a same DRB for the one or more QoS flows in the UL as was used to receive the user plane packet associated with the one or more QoS flows in the DL, should apply; and
not map the one or more QoS flows to the DRB in the UL if the indication bit of the user plane packet indicates that the UE should ignore the reflective mapping.
