Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a data transmission method and a terminal. The method includes: detecting, by a terminal in an idle state, whether a logical channel of a first path includes first to-be-transmitted data, and whether a logical channel of a second path includes second to-be-transmitted data; and if it is detected that the logical channel of the first path does not include the first to-be-transmitted data and a length of the second to-be-transmitted data is less than a preset second path transmission data threshold, selecting the second path to transmit the second to-be-transmitted data, where the second to-be-transmitted data includes discontinuously transmitted application data whose length is less than a preset threshold.

Dependent claims

A terminal, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory storing a plurality of computer executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the terminal to
detect whether a logical channel of a first path comprises first to-be-transmitted data, and whether a logical channel of a second path comprises second to-be-transmitted data, wherein the first path is a path using a physical shared channel, the second path is a path using a dedicated resource allocated by a base station;
and
when the terminal detects that the logical channel of the first path includes the first to-be-transmitted data, select the first path to transmit the first to-be-transmitted data and the second to-be-transmitted data;
when the terminal detects that the logical channel of the first path does not comprise the first to-be-transmitted data and a length of the second to-be-transmitted data is less than a preset second path transmission data threshold, select the second path to transmit the second to-be-transmitted data;
and
when the terminal detects that the logical channel of the first path does not comprise the first to-be-transmitted data and a length of the second to-be-transmitted data is greater than or equal to the preset second path transmission data threshold, select the first path to transmit the second to-be-transmitted data,
wherein
the first to-be-transmitted data includes data which need to be continuously transmitted, and
the second to-be-transmitted data comprises discontinuously transmitted application data whose length is less than a preset threshold.
