Abstract
This patent application provides a multi-connectivity data reporting method, including: obtaining, by a first network device, a first data volume report, where the first data volume report is used to indicate a volume of data that are of a terminal device and that pass through a second network device; and sending, by the first network device, the first data volume report to a third network device. The first data volume report includes one or more of QoS flow identifiers (QFIs) of one or more quality of service QoS flows, identifiers of one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions to which the one or more QoS flows belong, or data volumes of the one or more QoS flows.

A multi-connectivity data volume reporting method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first network device, a first data volume report, from a second network device, wherein the first data volume report indicates a volume of data that are of a terminal device and that pass through the second network device, and the first data volume report comprises identifiers of one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions and data volumes of the one or more PDU sessions;
- and
- sending, by the first network device, the first data volume report to a third network device;
- wherein the first network device comprises a gNB Central Unit Control Plane (gNB-CU-CP), the second network device comprises a gNB Central Unit User Plane (gNB-CU-UP), and the third network device comprises an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF).
A multi-connectivity data volume reporting method, comprising:
- generating, by a second network device, a second data volume report, wherein the second data volume report indicates a volume of data that are of a terminal device and that pass through the second network device, and the second data volume report comprises identifiers of one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions and data volumes of the one or more PDU sessions;
- and
- sending, by the second network device, the second data volume report to a first network device;
- wherein the first network device comprises a gNB Central Unit Control Plane (gNB-CU-CP), and the second network device comprises a gNB Central Unit User Plane (gNB-CU-UP).
A first network device, comprising at least one processor, and a non-transitory storage coupled to the at least one processor and having processor-executable instructions stored thereon which when executed cause the at least one processor to:

- and
- send the first data volume report to a third network device;
- wherein the first network device comprises a gNB Central Unit Control Plane (gNB-CU-CP), the second network device comprises a gNB Central Unit User Plane (gNB-CU-UP), and the third network device comprises an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF).
A second network device, comprising at least one processor, and a non-transitory storage coupled to the at least one processor and having processor-executable instructions stored thereon which when executed cause the at least one processor to:
- generate a second data volume report, wherein the second data volume report indicates a volume of data that are of a terminal device and that pass through the second network device, and the second data volume report comprises identifiers of one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions and data volumes of the one or more PDU sessions;
- and
- send the second data volume report to a first network device;
- wherein the first network device comprises a gNB Central Unit Control Plane (gNB-CU-CP), and the second network device comprises a gNB Central Unit User Plane (gNB-CU-UP).
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing programming instructions for execution by at least one processor, wherein the programming instructions instruct the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a first network device, a first data volume report, from a second network device, wherein the first data volume report indicates a volume of data that are of a terminal device and that pass through the second network device, and the first data volume report comprises identifiers of one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions and data volumes of the one or more PDU sessions;
- and
- sending, by the first network device, the first data volume report to a third network device wherein the first network device comprises a gNB Central Unit Control Plane (gNB-CU-CP), the second network device comprises a gNB Central Unit User Plane (gNB-CU-UP), and the third network device comprises an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF).
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing programming instructions for execution by at least one processor, wherein the programming instructions instruct the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating, by a second network device, a second data volume report, wherein the second data volume report indicates a volume of data that are of a terminal device and that pass through the second network device, and the second data volume report comprises identifiers of one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions and data volumes of the one or more PDU sessions;
- and
- sending, by the second network device, the second data volume report to a first network device;
- wherein the first network device comprises a gNB Central Unit Control Plane (gNB-CU-CP), and the second network device comprises a gNB Central Unit User Plane (gNB-CU-UP).
