how to start dedicated bearer through libqmi?

[Chen, Jing]

Hi, Dan:

Thank you so much for your response!

I need to send multiple data traffics with different TFT on secondary PDP contexts/dedicated bearers after primary/default is connected. I saw a definition  of profile in Gobi driver. I am wondering: has libqmi implemented corresponding function as well?

From what we understand, what QMI calls "Profiles" are equivalent to PDP contexts.  So WDS' GetProfileList command should return the list of contexts, and WDS GetProfileSettings would return the actual settings of the context.

The CGDATA analogue in QMI would pretty much be WDS StartNetwork.  That would of course also include doing the stuff CGACT does.

I'm not sure about the CGACT analogue; I could be wrong but I don't think the GoActive/GoDormant stuff isn't related to context activation, that's more for power control while active.

The CGATT analogue for CGATT would be NAS InitiateAttachRequest.

On a slightly higher level, what are you trying to do with the bearers?
 That might help narrow things down.
