Configuring quality of service (QoS) mapping relationship flexibly to improve an efficiency in data transmission

A terminal device, comprising:

• a processor, and a transceiver and a memory coupled to the processor;
• the memory storing thereon instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
• control the transceiver to receive a downlink data packet transmitted by a network device, wherein the downlink data packet comprises a reflective quality of service indication (RQI);
• determine a working mode of the RQI, wherein the working mode of the RQI is used to determine the indication content of the RQI, the indication content comprises whether at least one of a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship satisfies a reflective quality of service (QoS) mapping, the first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship from an Internet Protocol (IP) flow to a QoS flow, the second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship from the QoS flow to a data radio bearer (DRB), wherein the first mapping relationship satisfies the reflective QoS mapping represents determining to use the first mapping relationship of the downlink data packet as the first mapping relationship of an uplink data packet, wherein the second mapping relationship satisfies the reflective QoS mapping represents determining to use the second mapping relationship of the downlink data packet as the second mapping relationship of the uplink data packet;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine that the working mode of the RQI is a first working mode, wherein the first working mode is used to indicate that the RQI represents whether the first mapping relationship satisfies the reflective QoS mapping;
• and
• determine the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship of the uplink data packet according to the working mode of the RQI and the RQI, wherein,
• the RQI is a first preset value, the processor is configured to:
• determine that the first mapping relationship satisfies the reflective QoS mapping, and determine to use the first mapping relationship of the downlink data packet as the first mapping relationship of the uplink data packet or,
• the RQI is a second preset value, the processor is configured to:
• determine the first mapping relationship of the uplink data packet according to a preset rule, wherein the preset rule comprises that the first mapping relationship satisfies a default mapping relationship or that the first mapping relationship remains unchanged, wherein the first mapping relationship remains unchanged comprises determining to use a first mapping relationship of a preceding uplink data packet of the uplink data packet as the first mapping relationship of the uplink data packet.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing thereon computer instructions, when executed by a processor to cause a computer to implement the following steps:

• receiving a downlink data packet transmitted by a network device, wherein the downlink data packet comprises a reflective quality of service indication (ROI);
• determining a working mode of the RQI, wherein the working mode of the RQI is used to determine an indication content of the RQI, the indication content comprises whether at least one of a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship satisfies a reflective quality of service (QoS) mapping, the first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship from an Internet Protocol (IP) flow to a QoS flow, the second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship from the QoS flow to a data radio bearer (DRB), wherein the first mapping relationship satisfies the reflective QoS mapping represents determining to use the first mapping relationship of the downlink data packet as the first mapping relationship of an uplink data packet, wherein the second mapping relationship satisfies the reflective QoS mapping represents determining to use the second mapping relationship of the downlink data packet as the second mapping relationship of the uplink data packet;
• wherein the determining the working mode of the RQI comprises:
• determining that the working mode of the RQI is a second working mode, wherein the second working mode is used to indicate that the RQI represents whether the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship satisfy the reflective QoS mapping;
• and
• determining the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship of the uplink data packet according to the working mode of the RQI and the RQI.
