Abstract
A method for communpication is provided. The method includes receiving data sent by a user equipment (UE); determining a core network which provides a communication service for the UE; performing data format conversion on the data when the core network is a next generation core (NG-Core) to obtain designated data, where the obtained designated data has a data format is consistent with the data format of the NG-Core, and sending the designated data to the NG-Core; and sending the data to an EPC when the core network is the fourth-generation EPC.
Claims6
A method for communication, comprising:
- receiving data sent by a user equipment (UE);
- determining a core network which provides a communication service for the UE;
- and
- when the core network is a next generation core network (NG-Core), performing a data format conversion on the data to obtain designated data wherein the obtained designated data has a data format that is consistent with the NG-core, and sending the designated data to the NG-core;
- and
- when the core network is a fourth-generation evolved packet core (EPC), sending the data to the fourth-generation EPC, and
- wherein the data format conversion is enabled when the core network is the NG-Core and the data format conversion is disabled when the core network is the fourth-generation EPC, and
- wherein the data is user data, and performing the data format conversion on the data to obtain the designated data comprises:
- performing the data format conversion on the user data at a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer to obtain the designated data, wherein the obtained designated data has the data format that is consistent with a user data format of the NG-Core.
A device for communication, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory for storing a processor-executable instruction, wherein
- the processor is configured to:
- receive data from a user equipment (UE);
- determine a core network which provides a communication service for the UE;
- and
- when the core network is a next generation core (NG-Core), perform a data format conversion on the data to obtain designated data wherein the obtained designated data has a data format that is consistent with the NG-Core, and send the designated data to the NG-Core;
- and
- when the core network is a fourth-generation evolved packet core (EPC), send the data to the fourth-generation EPC, and
- wherein the data format conversion is enabled when the core network is the NG-Core and the data format conversion is disabled when the core network is the fourth-generation EPC, and
- wherein the data is user data, and the processor configured to perform the data format conversion on the data to obtain the designated data is further configured to:
- perform the data format conversion on the user data at a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer to obtain the designated data, wherein the obtained designated data has the data format that is consistent with a user data format of the NG-Core.
