Abstract
This application provides a communication method and apparatus, and relates to the field of communication technologies, to resolve problems of a long data transmission delay and high signaling overheads. A first access network device receives uplink user plane data from a user equipment in an inactive state, and sends an uplink control plane information element and the uplink user plane data to a second access network device through a same interface. The method is applied to a data transmission process.
Claims17
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first access network device, uplink user plane data from a user equipment (UE) in an inactive state;
- and
- sending, by the first access network device, an uplink control plane information element and the uplink user plane data to a second access network device through different interfaces, wherein the uplink control plane information element comprises a first indication information element, and wherein the first indication information element comprises a cause value or a buffer status report (BSR), and the cause value or the BSR is used to indicate the second access network device to receive the uplink user plane data sent by the first access network device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the non-transitory memory stores a program to be executed by the one or more processors, the program including instructions for:
- receiving, by the apparatus, uplink user plane data from a user equipment (UE) in an inactive state;
- and
- sending, by the apparatus, an uplink control plane information element and the uplink user plane data to a second access network device through different interfaces, wherein the uplink control plane information element comprises a first indication information element, and wherein the first indication information element comprises a cause value or a buffer status report (BSR), and the cause value or the BSR is used to indicate the second access network device to receive the uplink user plane data sent by the apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions that are executable by a computer, and the instructions comprise instructions for:
- receiving, by a first access network device, uplink user plane data from a user equipment (UE) in an inactive state;
- and
- sending, by the first access network device, an uplink control plane information element and the uplink user plane data to a second access network device through different interfaces, wherein the uplink control plane information element comprises a first indication information element, and wherein the first indication information element comprises a cause value or a buffer status report (BSR), and the cause value or the BSR is used to indicate the second access network device to receive the uplink user plane data sent by the first access network device.
