[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

[0045] 1. The terminal executes the voice call process

[0046] Typically, a terminal can initiate a voice call to another device via a wireless network. Taking the wireless network as a fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4th-Generation, 4G) network as an example, the specific process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown:

[0047] 1) A terminal (eg, user equipment (UE)-1) may first register with a 4G network and establish a packet data network (PDN) connection-1 for transmitting data services.

[0048] 2) Then, a PDN connection-2 for transmitting voice services is established, so that UE-1 can communicate with other devices (eg, UE-2) through PDN connection-1 and / or PDN connection-2.

[0049] 3) When UE-1 initiates a voice call to UE-2, UE-1 can send an Invite message to the Proxy-Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) network element through an Invite message to initiate a call request with UE-2, and the Session Description Protocol (SDP) request offer in the Invite message carries information about the voice media to be established.

[0050] 4) After receiving the Invite message, the P-CSCF network element sends the Invite message to the Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) network element.

[0051] 5) The S-CSCF network element may send an Invite message to UE-2.

[0052] 6) UE-2 may reply a response message to the S-CSCF network element. The response message carries an SDP answer, and the SDP answer is used to negotiate the information of the voice media to be established.

[0053] 7) The S-CSCF network element may send the response message to the P-CSCF network element.

[0054] 8) The P-CSCF network element may send the negotiated voice media information carried in the above SDP answer to the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) network element, where the negotiated voice media information is obtained based on the SDP answer.

[0055] 9) The PCRF network element may send a determined Quality of Service (QoS) policy to a Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW).

[0056] 10) The PGW may send an Update Bearer request message to the Serving GateWay (SGW), where the Update Bearer request message is used to establish a voice-dedicated bearer.

[0057] 11) The SGW may send an update bearer request message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME) network element to establish a dedicated voice bearer.

[0058] 12) The MME network element may send a Bearer Modify request message to the base station. The Bearer Modify request message includes the QoS parameters corresponding to the voice dedicated bearer and an Evolved Packet System Bearer ID (Evolved Packet System Bearer ID, EBI).

[0059] 13) The base station may send an RRC connection reconfiguration message to UE-1. The RRC connection reconfiguration message includes SRB-ToAddMod information, and the SRB-ToAddMod information is used to establish a DRB corresponding to a dedicated voice bearer.

[0060] 14) UE-1 may establish a DRB between UE-1 and the base station, and reply with an RRC connection reconfiguration response message.

[0061] 15) The base station may send a bearer modification response message to the MME network element.

[0062] 16) The MME network element may send an update bearer response message to the SGW.

[0063] 17) SGW may send an update bearer response message to PGW.

[0064] 18) The PGW may send a response message to the PCRF network element to notify the PCRF network element that the policy sent by the PCRF network element has been executed.

[0065] 19) The PCRF network element may send a response message to the P-CSCF network element to notify whether the voice dedicated bearer is successfully established.

[0066] 20) If the dedicated voice bearer is established successfully, the P-CSCF network element can send a 183 response message to UE-1. Otherwise, the P-CSCF network element can send a Cancel message to UE-2 to end the call.

[0067] 21) When the user of UE-2 answers the incoming call, UE-2 may send a 200OK message to the S-CSCF network element.

[0068] 22) The 200OK message is routed to UE-1. UE-1 determines from the 200OK message that the user of UE-2 has answered the call and starts the call.

[0069] 2. PDN connection

[0070] Typically, a PDN connection refers to an Internet Protocol (IP) connection between a terminal and a 4G network. Each PDN connection has at least one default Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer. Optionally, each PDN connection can also have a dedicated EPS bearer.

[0071] Each EPS bearer consists of two parts: Figure 2 As shown, first, the DRB between the terminal (such as UE) and the base station; second, the connection between the base station and the core network, including: the S1 bearer between the base station and the SGW, and the S5 / S8 bearer between the SGW and the PGW.

[0072] 3. Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session

[0073] Generally, a PDU session is an IP connection between a terminal and a 5th-generation (5G) network. A PDU session is the concept corresponding to a PDN connection in 5G. A QoS flow is the concept corresponding to an EPS bearer in 5G.

[0074] Each QoS flow consists of two parts: first, the DRB between the terminal and the base station; second, the connection between the base station and the core network, including: the N2 connection between the base station and the user plane function (UPF) network element.

[0075] 4. The number of connection channels that can be established between the terminal and the network device

[0076] Generally, the number of connection channels that can be established between a terminal and a network device (eg, an access network device (base station)) is limited.

[0077] Among them, in the 4G network, in the Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IOT) scenario, the number of connection channels that can be established between the terminal and the base station is usually 2, that is, the number of DRBs that can be established between the terminal and the base station is 2, and the number of S1 bearers and S5 / S8 bearers between the base station and the core network is 2. In the non-NB-IOT scenario, the number of connection channels that can be established between the terminal and the base station is usually 8, that is, the number of DRBs that can be established between the terminal and the base station is 8, and the number of S1 bearers and S5 / S8 bearers between the base station and the core network is 8.

[0084] The following, in combination with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the bearer establishment method, apparatus, terminal, network device and readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0085] The bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a first bearer establishment device, or a first network device, or a functional module or entity in the first network device. The bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the first network device executing the bearer establishment method as an example.

[0086] Figure 4FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for establishing a bearer according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 101 and 102.

[0087] Step 101: A first network device receives a first message from a second network device.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the first network device is an access network device, and the second network device is a core network element such as an MME network element or an AMF network element.

[0089] Among them, when the second network device is a network device in a 4G network, the second network device can specifically be an MME network element; or, when the second network device is a network device in a 5G network, the second network device can specifically be an AMF network element; or, when the second network device is a network device in a sixth-generation mobile communication technology (6th-Generation, 6G) 6G network, the second network device is a network element that communicates with a base station.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first message is used to establish a bearer for transmitting business data of the first business.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first message can trigger the first network device to send first configuration information to the terminal.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, when a terminal is connected to a first network device, when the terminal initiates a voice call to another terminal, the terminal can send an Invite message to a P-CSCF network element and trigger a voice call process, so that the first network device can receive a first message from the second network device.

[0093] Optionally, when the terminal is connected to the first network device, when the terminal receives a voice call initiated by another terminal, the terminal may send a response message to the P-CSCF network element, so that the first network device may receive the first message from the second network device.

[0094] Optionally, the first message may be a bearer modification request message, wherein the bearer modification request message may include QoS parameters and EBI corresponding to the voice dedicated bearer.

[0095] It can be understood that after the terminal can send an Invite message to the P-CSCF network element, it can execute Figure 1 Steps 4 to 12 in the embodiment of the present invention are performed, so that the first network device can receive a bearer modification request message, that is, a first message, from the second network device.

[0096] Step 102: The first network device sends first configuration information to the terminal according to the first message.

[0097] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "the first network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal according to the first message" can be understood as: the first network device first receives the first message and then sends the first configuration information to the terminal, or the first network device can send the first configuration information to the terminal according to the information in the first message.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information is used for at least one of the following:

[0099] Release a first DRB between the terminal and the first network device, and establish a second DRB between the terminal and the first network device;

[0100] Modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB between the terminal and the first network device.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, the first DRB is used to transmit the service data of the second service, and the second DRB is used to transmit the service data of the first service.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the first DRB may specifically be a dedicated DRB for transmitting data for voice services.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, the first service may be the same as or different from the second service.

[0104] For example, assuming that the first service is a voice service, the second service may be a voice service, that is, the first service and the second service are the same, or the second service may be a data service, that is, the first service and the second service are different.

[0105] Optionally, the first service is a voice service, and the second service is a data service.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first configuration information may include a first EBI and a first QoS parameter. The first EBI is used by the terminal to determine or identify a first DRB, and the first QoS parameter is used by the terminal to establish a second DRB, so that the terminal can determine the first DRB based on the first EBI and release the first DRB, and establish a second DRB based on the first QoS parameter.

[0107] It should be noted that, for the content of the first QoS parameter, reference may be made to the specific description in the relevant technology, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated here.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit business data of the first business.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, the configuration parameters corresponding to the above-mentioned first DRB may specifically be QoS parameters. The above-mentioned first configuration information may include a first EBI and a first QoS parameter. The first EBI is used by the terminal to determine or identify the first DRB. The first QoS parameter is used to modify the QoS parameters corresponding to the first DRB, so that the terminal can modify the QoS parameters corresponding to the first DRB to the first QoS parameters. In this way, the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit business data of the first business.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the first network device may send an RRC connection reconfiguration message to the terminal, where the RRC connection reconfiguration message carries the first configuration information.

[0111] An embodiment of the present application provides a bearer establishment method, in which a first network device can receive a first message from a second network device for establishing a bearer for transmitting business data of a first business, and send first configuration information to a terminal based on the first message, wherein the first configuration information is used for at least one of the following: releasing a first DRB between the terminal and the first network device, and establishing a second DRB between the terminal and the first network device; modifying configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB between the terminal and the first network device; wherein the first DRB is used to transmit business data of the second business, and the second DRB is used to transmit business data of the first business, and the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit business data of the first business. Because when the second network device instructs the first network device to establish a bearer for transmitting the service data of the first service, the first network device can send the first configuration information to the terminal so that the terminal can release the first DRB established between the terminal and the first network device and establish the second DRB, that is, the terminal can first reduce the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device, and then establish the second DRB, that is, the terminal can establish the second DRB while ensuring that the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device has not reached the upper limit, instead of directly establishing a new DRB for transmitting the service data of the first service. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal cannot establish the second DRB because the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device has reached the upper limit. ; and / or, because the terminal can modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB established between the terminal and the first network device when receiving the first configuration information, so as to obtain the DRB for transmitting the service data of the first service, that is, the terminal can modify the DRB for transmitting the service data of the first service without increasing the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device, instead of directly establishing a new DRB for transmitting the service data of the first service. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal cannot establish the second DRB because the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device reaches the upper limit, thereby reducing the probability of the terminal being unable to communicate with other devices. In this way, the quality of communication between the terminal and other devices can be improved.

[0112] Of course, the first network device sending the first configuration information to the terminal will cause the first DRB to be unable to transmit the service data of the second service. However, at this time, other network devices can still send information to the terminal through the connection channel corresponding to the first DRB before modifying the configuration parameters (for example, the first connection channel in the following embodiment). Therefore, in order to save resources, the first network device can also make the connection channel corresponding to the first DRB unable to transmit the service data of the second service, so as to avoid other network devices sending information to the terminal through the connection channel corresponding to the first DRB, thereby improving the efficiency of transmitting service data through the connection channel corresponding to the second DRB (for example, the second connection channel in the following embodiment).

[0113] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "connection channel corresponding to the first DRB" can be understood as: the connection channel to which the first DRB belongs before the configuration parameters are modified; or, a connection channel connected to the first DRB and transmitting service data of the same service. For example, the PDN connection to which the first DRB belongs before the configuration parameters are modified, or the PDU session to which the first DRB belongs before the configuration parameters are modified. The above-mentioned "connection channel corresponding to the second DRB" can be understood as: the connection channel to which the second DRB belongs; or, a connection channel connected to the second DRB and transmitting service data of the same service.

[0114] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application are introduced using network elements and messages of a 4G network as an example, and the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to 5G networks and 6G networks.

[0115] The following will illustrate with different examples.

[0116] Example 1: Not maintaining the connection between the first network device and the core network

[0117] In this example, combined with Figure 4 ,like Figure 5 As shown, after the above step 102, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 103.

[0118] Step 103: The first network device sends a second message to the second network device.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, the terminal may send an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the first network device after releasing the first DRB and establishing a second DRB, and / or modifying the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, so that the first network device can send a second message to the second network device.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, the second message is used for any of the following:

[0121] Release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel;

[0122] Delete the first connection channel.

[0123] The first connection channel is used to transmit the service data of the second service.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first connection channel can be any one of the following: PDN connection, EPS bearer, the part between the first network device of EPS bearer and the core network (such as SGW), PDU session, QoS flow, the part between the first network device of QoS flow and the core network (such as UPF).

[0125] It can be understood that when the second network device is an MME network element, the first connection channel can be any one of the following: PDN connection, EPS bearer, and the part between the first network device of the EPS bearer and the core network (such as SGW). When the second network device is an AMF network element, the first connection channel can be any one of the following: PDU session, QoS flow, and the part between the first network device of the QoS flow and the core network (such as UPF).

[0126] In some embodiments of the present application, when the second network device is an MME network element, the second message may be a S1 UE context release request message. The S1 UE context release request message may include at least one of the following: EBI, Linked EPS Bearer ID (LBI), so that the second network device may determine the first connection channel according to the EBI and / or LBI.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, when the second network device is an AMF network element, the above-mentioned second message can be specifically an N2 UE context release request message. The N2 UE context release request message may include: the PDU session ID of the PDU session corresponding to the first DRB before the configuration parameters are modified, so that the second network device can determine the first connection channel according to the PDU session ID.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first network device sends the second message to the second network device, the second network device may release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel, and the context information of the first connection channel still exists; or, the second network device may delete the first connection channel, and the context information of the first connection channel will also be deleted, that is, the uplink text information of the first connection channel does not exist.

[0129] Therefore, since the first network device can instruct the second network device to release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel or delete the first connection channel, it can avoid the situation where other devices send information to the terminal through the first connection channel, thereby saving network device resources.

[0130] In this example, combined with Figure 4 ,like Figure 6 As shown, after the above step 102, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 104.

[0131] Step 104: The first network device sends a third message to the terminal.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, the third message is used to release the radio resource control (RRC) connection between the terminal and the first network device.

[0133] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, Figure 1 Steps 13 to 22 in the process of establishing a session are performed, so that the terminal can make a voice call with other devices. In this way, when the voice call between the terminal and the other device ends, the first network device can send a third message to the terminal.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first network device sends the third message to the terminal, the terminal may release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device and enter an idle state, and re-establish the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device to enter a connected state.

[0135] It can be seen that since the core network may delete the first connection channel used to transmit the service data of the second service, the first network device can instruct the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device, so that the terminal can re-establish the first connection channel in the subsequent process of re-establishing the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device, so that the terminal can continue to conduct the second service with other devices through the first connection channel. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal cannot continue to conduct the second service with other devices through the first connection channel.

[0136] In some embodiments of the present application, before the above step 104, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 1031, and the above step 104 may be specifically implemented by the following step 104a.

[0137] Step 1031: The first network device receives a fourth message from the second network device.

[0138] In this embodiment of the present application, the fourth message is used to indicate any of the following:

[0139] releasing the connection between the first network device and the second network device;

[0140] Release the second connection channel.

[0141] The second connection channel is used to transmit the service data of the first service.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present application, when a voice call between a terminal and another device ends, the terminal can send a Bye message to the other terminal, so that the other terminal can reply with a 200OK message to the terminal, so that the P-CSCF network element can send call end information to the PCRF network element, so that the PGW can send a delete bearer (Delete Bearer) request message to the SGW, and the delete bearer request message is used to delete the second connection channel, and the second connection channel is used to transmit business data of the first business, so that the SGW can send a delete bearer request message to the second network device, and the delete bearer request message is used to delete the second connection channel, so that the second network device can send the fourth message to the first network device, and the fourth message is a deactivate bearer (Deactivate Modify) request message.

[0143] Step 104a: The first network device sends a third message to the terminal according to the fourth message.

[0144] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "the first network device sends the third message to the terminal according to the fourth message" can be understood as: the first network device first receives the fourth message and then sends the third message to the terminal, or the first network device can send the third message to the terminal according to the information in the fourth message.

[0145] It can be seen that the first network device can also accurately instruct the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device according to the instruction of the second network device. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the first network device instructs the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device at an inaccurate time, which leads to a decrease in the quality of communication between the terminal and other devices.

[0146] Example 2: Maintaining the connection between the first network device and the core network

[0147] In one possible implementation of this example, Figure 4 ,like Figure 7 As shown, after the above step 102, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 105.

[0148] Step 105: When the first network device receives service data through the first connection channel, the first network device discards the received service data.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the first connection channel is used to transmit business data of the second business.

[0150] In an embodiment of the present application, after the first network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, the terminal may have released the first DRB and / or modified the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, which will result in the inability to transmit service data through the first connection channel. Therefore, the first network device may directly discard the received service data when receiving the service data through the first connection channel.

[0151] It can be seen that since the first network device can directly discard the service data received through the first connection channel instead of sending the service data to the terminal through the first connection channel, it can avoid the situation where the first DRB cannot transmit the service data of the second service, resulting in failure to send the service data, thereby saving the resources required to send the service data.

[0152] In some embodiments of the present application, before the above step 105, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may also include the following step 1041.

[0153] Step 1041: The first network device marks the state of the first connection channel as a first state.

[0154] In the embodiment of the present application, the first state is used to indicate that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service.

[0155] In some embodiments of the present application, the first state may specifically be: an unavailable state, or a deactivated (eg, inactive or deactive) state.

[0156] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, the terminal may send an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the first network device after releasing the first DRB and establishing a second DRB, and / or modifying the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, so that the first network device can mark the state of the first connection channel as the first state.

[0157] Thus, it can be seen that since the first network device can mark the state of the first connection channel as the first state, when the business data is received again in the subsequent time, the first network device can directly determine that the first connection channel cannot transmit the business data of the second business according to the first state, without spending time to determine whether the first connection channel can transmit the business data of the second business. Therefore, the time spent by the first network device in processing the business data can be reduced.

[0158] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 105, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 106 and 107.

[0159] Step 106: The first network device receives a seventh message from the second network device.

[0160] In the embodiment of the present application, the seventh message is used to instruct deletion of a second connection channel, where the second connection channel is used to transmit service data of a second service.

[0161] In some embodiments of the present application, when a voice call between a terminal and another device ends, the terminal can send a Bye message to the other terminal, so that the other terminal can reply with a 200OK message to the terminal, so that the P-CSCF network element can send call end information to the PCRF network element, so that the PGW can send a delete bearer (Delete Bearer) request message to the SGW, and the delete bearer request message is used to delete the second connection channel, and the second connection channel is used to transmit business data of the first business, so that the SGW can send a delete bearer request message to the second network device, and the delete bearer request message is used to delete the second connection channel, so that the second network device can send a seventh message to the first network device, and the seventh message can specifically be a deactivate bearer (Deactivate Modify) request message.

[0162] Step 107: The first network device sends second configuration information to the terminal according to the seventh message.

[0163] The second configuration information is used for at least one of the following:

[0164] Release the second DRB and establish the first DRB;

[0165] Modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB.

[0166] In some embodiments of the present application, the first network device can obtain the second EBI and the second QoS parameter based on the seventh message, the second EBI is used for the terminal to determine the second DRB, and the second QoS parameter is used for the terminal to establish the first DRB, and generate the seventh message based on the second EBI and the second QoS parameters, so that the terminal can determine the second DRB based on the second EBI and release the second DRB, and establish the first DRB based on the second QoS parameters.

[0167] In an embodiment of the present application, the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit business data of the second business.

[0168] It can be understood that the terminal can modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB again.

[0169] In some embodiments of the present application, the configuration parameters corresponding to the above-mentioned first DRB may specifically be QoS parameters, and the above-mentioned second configuration information may include a first EBI and a second QoS parameter. The first EBI is used by the terminal to determine or identify the first DRB, and the second QoS parameter is used to modify the QoS parameters corresponding to the first DRB again, so that the terminal can modify the QoS parameters corresponding to the first DRB to the second QoS parameters, so that the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit business data of the second business.

[0170] It can be seen that since the first network device can also send the second configuration information to the terminal according to the instruction of the second network device, so that the terminal can release the second DRB and establish the first DRB, and / or modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, the business data of the second service can continue to be transmitted through the first DRB and / or the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified. Therefore, the situation where the terminal is unable to continue the second service with other devices can be avoided.

[0171] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 1041, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 1042.

[0172] Step 1042: The first network device marks the state of the first connection channel as the second state.

[0173] In the embodiment of the present application, the second state is used to indicate that the first connection channel can transmit service data of the second service.

[0174] In some embodiments of the present application, the second state may be: an available state or a normal state.

[0175] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first network device sends the second configuration information to the terminal, the first network device may mark the state of the first connection channel as the second state.

[0176] Thus, it can be seen that since the first network device can mark the state of the first connection channel as the second state, when the service data is received again in the subsequent time, the first network device can directly determine that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service according to the second state, without spending time to determine whether the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service. Therefore, the time consumed in transmitting the service data of the second service can be reduced.

[0177] In another possible implementation of this example, combining Figure 4 ,like Figure 8 As shown, after the above step 102, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 108.

[0178] Step 108: The first network device sends a fifth message to the second network device.

[0179] In the embodiment of the present application, the fifth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service, and the first connection channel is used to transmit the service data of the second service.

[0180] In some embodiments of the present application, the fifth message also carries an EBI or LBI corresponding to the first connection channel, so that the second network device can determine the first connection channel based on the EBI or LBI.

[0181] In some embodiments of the present application, when the second network device is an AMF network element, the fifth message may specifically be an Nsmf_PDSession_UpdateSMContext Request message.

[0182] In some embodiments of the present application, the fifth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is a third state, and the third state is used to represent that the first connection channel cannot transmit service data of the second service.

[0183] Optionally, the third state may specifically be: an unavailable state or a deactivated (inactive or deactive) state.

[0184] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, the terminal may send an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the first network device after releasing the first DRB and establishing the second DRB, and / or modifying the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, so that the first network device can send a fifth message to the second network device.

[0185] In this way, it can be seen that since the first network device can instruct the second network device that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service, the second network device can notify other core network devices that they can directly discard the service data received through the first connection channel instead of sending the service data to the terminal through the first connection channel. Therefore, the resources required to transmit the service data can be saved.

[0186] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 108, the first network device may further execute the above steps 106 and 107 to send the second configuration information to the terminal.

[0187] It should be noted that, for the description of the first network device executing the above steps 106 and 107, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0188] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 108, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 109.

[0189] Step 109: The first network device sends a sixth message to the second network device.

[0190] In the embodiment of the present application, the sixth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service.

[0191] In some embodiments of the present application, the sixth message also carries an EBI or LBI corresponding to the first connection channel, so that the second network device can determine the first connection channel based on the EBI or LBI.

[0192] In some embodiments of the present application, the sixth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is a fourth state, and the fourth state is used to represent that the first connection channel can transmit service data of the second service.

[0193] Optionally, the fourth state may specifically be: an available state or a normal state.

[0194] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first network device sends the second configuration information to the terminal, the first network device may send a sixth message to the second network device.

[0195] In this way, it can be seen that since the first network device can instruct the second network device that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service, the second network device can notify other core network devices that they can continue to transmit the service data received through the first connection channel instead of discarding the service data. Therefore, the situation where the terminal cannot continue to conduct the second service with other devices can be avoided.

[0196] The bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a second bearer establishment device, or a second network device, or a functional module or entity in the second network device. The bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the second network device executing the bearer establishment method as an example.

[0197] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for establishing a bearer according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 As shown, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 and 202.

[0198] Step 201: A second network device sends a first message to a first network device.

[0199] In some embodiments of the present application, the first network device is an access network device, and the second network device is a core network element such as an MME network element or an AMF network element.

[0200] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first message is used to establish a bearer for transmitting business data of the first business.

[0201] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first message is used to trigger the first network device to send first configuration information to the terminal.

[0202] It should be noted that, for the description of the second network device sending the first message to the first network device, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0203] Step 202: The second network device sends an eighth message to the third network device, or the second network device sends a ninth message to the fourth network device.

[0204] In some embodiments of the present application, the third network device may specifically be an SGW.

[0205] In the embodiment of the present application, the eighth message is used for any of the following:

[0206] Release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel;

[0207] Delete the first connection channel.

[0208] The first connection channel is used to transmit the service data of the second service.

[0209] Optionally, the eighth message is used to trigger the third network device to release resources corresponding to the first connection channel, or delete the first connection channel.

[0210] In some embodiments of the present application, the first service is a voice service, and the second service is a data service.

[0211] In some embodiments of the present application, when the eighth message is used to release resources corresponding to the first connection channel, if the second network device is an MME network element, the eighth message may specifically be a ReleaseAccess BearerRequest message, or, if the second network device is an AMF network element, the eighth message may specifically be a Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext Request message.

[0212] In some embodiments of the present application, when the eighth message is used to delete the first connection channel, if the second network device is an MME network element, the eighth message may specifically be a Delete Session Request message, or, if the second network device is an AMF network element, the eighth message may specifically be a Nsmf_PDUSession_ReleaseSMContext message.

[0213] In the embodiment of the present application, the ninth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service, and the first connection channel is used to transmit the service data of the second service.

[0214] In some embodiments of the present application, the fourth network device may specifically be a PGW.

[0215] In some embodiments of the present application, the ninth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is a third state, and the third state is used to represent that the first connection channel cannot transmit service data of the second service.

[0216] Optionally, the ninth message is used to trigger the fourth network device to mark the state of the first connection channel as a third state.

[0217] In some embodiments of the present application, the second network device may send the ninth message to the fourth network device through the third network device.

[0218] In some embodiments of the present application, after the second network device sends the ninth message to the fourth network device, the fourth network device may mark the state of the first connection channel as the third state, and directly discard the received business data when business data is received through the first connection channel.

[0219] It can be understood that the scheme in which the second network device sends the eighth message to the third network device corresponds to Example 1 in the above embodiment, that is, the scheme in which the connection between the first network device and the core network is not maintained. The scheme in which the second network device sends the ninth message to the fourth network device corresponds to Example 2 in the above embodiment, that is, the scheme in which the connection between the first network device and the core network is maintained.

[0220] An embodiment of the present application provides a bearer establishment method, where a second network device may send a first message to a first network device for establishing a bearer for transmitting business data of a first business, and send an eighth message to a third network device, or send a ninth message to a fourth network device; wherein the eighth message is used for any one of the following: releasing resources corresponding to a first connection channel; deleting the first connection channel; the first connection channel is used to transmit business data of a second business; the ninth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel cannot transmit business data of the second business, and the first connection channel is used to transmit business data of the second business. Since the second network device instructs the first network device to establish a bearer for transmitting the service data of the first service, it may result in the first connection channel being unable to transmit the service data of the second service. At this time, the second network device may notify the third network device to release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel and delete the first connection channel to avoid other network devices using resources to transmit information through the first connection channel. Therefore, the resources occupied by transmitting information through the first connection channel can be saved to reduce the probability of a low rate of transmitting the service data of the first service with other devices due to insufficient resources; or, the second network device may notify the fourth network device that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service. Therefore, the fourth network device may not use resources to transmit information through the first connection channel. Therefore, the resources occupied by transmitting information through the first connection channel can be saved to reduce the probability of a low rate of transmitting the service data of the first service with other devices due to insufficient resources; thereby, the efficiency of the terminal performing the first service with other devices can be improved, and thus, the quality of communication between the terminal and other devices can be improved.

[0221] The following will illustrate with different examples.

[0222] Example 1: Not maintaining the connection between the first network device and the core network

[0223] In this example, "the second network device sends the eighth message to the third network device" in the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by any one of the following steps 202a and 202b.

[0224] Step 202a: When receiving the second message from the first network device, the second network device sends an eighth message to the third network device according to the second message.

[0225] In the embodiment of the present application, the second message is used for any of the following:

[0226] Release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel;

[0227] Delete the first connection channel.

[0228] It should be noted that, for the description of the first network device sending the second message, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0229] In this way, it can be seen that since the first network device can instruct the second network device to release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel, or delete the first connection channel, so that the second network device can instruct the third network device to release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel, or delete the first connection channel, it can be avoided that other devices send information to the terminal through the first connection channel, thereby saving the resources of the network devices.

[0230] Step 202b: When the tenth message is received from the fourth network device, the second network device sends an eighth message to the third network device according to the tenth message.

[0231] In the embodiment of the present application, the tenth message is used to establish a bearer for transmitting service data of the first service.

[0232] In some embodiments of the present application, after the terminal sends an Invite message to the P-CSCF network element, the following operations may be performed: Figure 1 Steps 4 to 9 in the process, so that the fourth network device (e.g., PGW) can send the tenth message to the second network device through the third network device (e.g., SGW), and the tenth message can specifically be an update bearer request message, so that the second network device can determine to send the eighth message to the third network device.

[0233] In this way, it can be seen that since the fourth network device can instruct the second network device to release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel, or delete the first connection channel, so that the second network device can instruct the third network device to release the resources corresponding to the first connection channel, or delete the first connection channel, it can be avoided that other devices send information to the terminal through the first connection channel, thereby saving the resources of the network device.

[0234] In this example, after the above step 201, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 203.

[0235] Step 203: The second network device sends a fourth message to the first network device.

[0236] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the execution order of step 203 and step 202. In one example, the second network device may first execute step 203 and then execute step 202; in another example, the second network device may first execute step 202 and then execute step 203; in another example, the second network device may execute step 202 while executing step 203.

[0237] In this embodiment of the present application, the fourth message is used to indicate any of the following:

[0238] releasing the connection between the first network device and the second network device;

[0239] Release the second connection channel.

[0240] In the embodiment of the present application, the second connection channel is used to transmit business data of the first business.

[0241] It should be noted that, for the description of the second network device sending the fourth message to the first network device, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0242] In this way, it can be seen that since the second network device can also instruct the first network device to release the connection between the first network device and the second network device or release the second connection channel, the first network device can accurately instruct the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device according to the instruction. Therefore, it can be avoided that the first network device instructs the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device at an inaccurate timing, which leads to a decrease in the quality of communication between the terminal and other devices.

[0243] In this example, the fourth message is used to indicate the release of the connection between the first network device and the second network device. Before the above step 203, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 2021, and the above step 203 may be specifically implemented by the following step 203a.

[0244] Step 2021: The second network device receives an eleventh message from the third network device.

[0245] In the embodiment of the present application, the eleventh message is used to delete the second connection channel.

[0246] In some embodiments of the present application, when a voice call between a terminal and another device ends, the terminal can send a Bye message to the other terminal, so that the other terminal can reply with a 200OK message to the terminal, so that the P-CSCF network element can send call end information to the PCRF network element, so that the fourth network device can send a delete bearer (Delete Bearer) request message to the third network device, and the delete bearer request message is used to delete the second connection channel, and the second connection channel is used to transmit the service data of the first service, so that the third network device can send an eleventh message to the second network device, and the eleventh message can specifically be a delete bearer request message.

[0247] Step 203a: The second network device sends a fourth message to the first network device according to the eleventh message.

[0248] In this way, it can be seen that the second network device can accurately execute the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device through the first network device according to the instruction of the third network device. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the first network device instructs the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device at an inaccurate timing, which leads to a decrease in the quality of communication between the terminal and other devices.

[0249] Example 2: Maintaining the connection between the first network device and the core network

[0250] In this example, "the second network device sends a ninth message to the fourth network device" in the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by any one of the following steps 202c to 202e.

[0251] Step 202c: When the fifth message is received from the first network device, the second network device sends a ninth message to the fourth network device according to the fifth message.

[0252] In the embodiment of the present application, the fifth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service.

[0253] In some embodiments of the present application, the fifth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is a third state, and the third state is used to represent that the first connection channel cannot transmit service data of the second service.

[0254] It should be noted that, for the description of the second network device sending the ninth message to the fourth network device according to the fifth message, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0255] Thus, it can be seen that the second network device can, according to the instruction of the first network device, accurately indicate to the fourth network device that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service, so that the fourth network device can directly discard the service data of the second service, thereby saving the resources required to transmit the service data of the second service.

[0256] Step 202d: When the tenth message is received from the fourth network device, the second network device sends a ninth message to the fourth network device according to the tenth message.

[0257] In the embodiment of the present application, the tenth message is used to establish a bearer for transmitting service data of the first service.

[0258] In some embodiments of the present application, after the terminal sends an Invite message to the P-CSCF network element, the following operations may be performed: Figure 1 Steps 4 to 9 in the process, so that the fourth network device (e.g., PGW) can send the tenth message to the second network device through the third network device (e.g., SGW), and the tenth message can specifically be an update bearer request message, so that the second network device can determine to send the ninth message to the fourth network device.

[0259] In this way, it can be seen that the second network device can accurately execute the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device through the first network device according to the instruction of the fourth network device. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the first network device instructs the terminal to release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device at an inaccurate timing, which leads to a decrease in the quality of communication between the terminal and other devices.

[0260] Step 202e: When the twelfth message is received from the terminal, the second network device sends a ninth message to the fourth network device according to the twelfth message.

[0261] In the embodiment of the present application, the twelfth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service.

[0262] In some embodiments of the present application, the twelfth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is the third state.

[0263] In some embodiments of the present application, the twelfth message may specifically be: a protocol configuration option (Protocol Configuration Option, PCO) message.

[0264] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, the terminal can send an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the first network device after releasing the first DRB and establishing a second DRB, and / or modifying the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, so that the terminal can send the twelfth message to the second network device.

[0265] It can be seen that the second network device can accurately indicate to the fourth network device according to the instruction of the terminal that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service, so that the fourth network device can directly discard the service data of the second service, thereby saving the resources required to transmit the service data of the second service.

[0266] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 202, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 204.

[0267] Step 204: The second network device sends a seventh message to the first network device.

[0268] In the embodiment of the present application, the seventh message is used to instruct deletion of a second connection channel, where the second connection channel is used to transmit service data of a second service.

[0269] The seventh message is used to trigger sending second configuration information to the terminal, and the second configuration information is used for at least one of the following:

[0270] Release the second DRB and establish the first DRB;

[0271] Modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB.

[0272] Here, the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit the service data of the second service.

[0273] In some embodiments of the present application, when a voice call between a terminal and another device ends, the terminal can send a Bye message to the other terminal, so that the other terminal can reply with a 200OK message to the terminal, so that the P-CSCF network element can send call end information to the PCRF network element, so that the PGW can send a Delete Bearer request message to the SGW, and the Delete Bearer request message is used to delete the second connection channel, and the second connection channel is used to transmit the service data of the first service, so that the SGW can send a Delete Bearer request message to the second network device, and the Delete Bearer request message is used to delete the second connection channel, so that the second network device can send the seventh message to the first network device.

[0274] It can be seen that since the second network device can also instruct the first network device to send the second configuration information to the terminal so that the terminal can release the second DRB and establish the first DRB, and / or modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, the business data of the second service can continue to be transmitted through the first DRB and / or the first DRB after modifying the configuration parameters. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal is unable to continue the second service with other devices.

[0275] It should be noted that the release of the second DRB and the establishment of the first DRB can be sent through one RRC connection reconfiguration message or through two RRC connection reconfiguration messages. In the case of sending through two RRC connection reconfiguration messages, the content of releasing the second DRB is sent first, and then the content of establishing the first DRB is sent.

[0276] In some embodiments of the present application, after "the second network device sends a ninth message to the fourth network device" in the above step 202, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 205.

[0277] Step 205: The second network device sends a thirteenth message to the fourth network device.

[0278] In the embodiment of the present application, the thirteenth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service.

[0279] In some embodiments of the present application, the thirteenth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is a fourth state, and the fourth state is used to represent that the first connection channel can transmit service data of the second service.

[0280] It can be seen that since the second network device can indicate to the fourth network device that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service, the fourth network device can continue to transmit the service data received through the first connection channel instead of discarding the service data. Therefore, the situation where the terminal cannot continue to conduct the second service with other devices can be avoided.

[0281] In some embodiments of the present application, the above step 205 can be specifically implemented by any one of the following steps 205a to 205c.

[0282] Step 205a: When receiving the sixth message from the first network device, the second network device sends a thirteenth message to the fourth network device according to the sixth message.

[0283] In the embodiment of the present application, the sixth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service.

[0284] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first network device sends the second configuration information to the terminal, the first network device may send the sixth message to the second network device, so that the second network device may send the thirteenth message to the fourth network device.

[0285] In some embodiments of the present application, the sixth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is a fourth state, and the fourth state is used to represent that the first connection channel can transmit service data of the second service.

[0286] In this way, it can be seen that since the first network device can instruct the second network device that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service, the second network device can notify the fourth network device that it can continue to transmit the service data received through the first connection channel instead of discarding the service data. Therefore, the situation where the terminal cannot continue to conduct the second service with other devices can be avoided.

[0287] Step 205b: When the fourteenth message is received from the fourth network device, the second network device sends the thirteenth message to the fourth network device according to the fourteenth message.

[0288] In the embodiment of the present application, the fourteenth message is used to delete the second connection channel, where the second connection channel is used to transmit business data of the second business.

[0289] In some embodiments of the present application, when a voice call between a terminal and another device ends, the terminal can send a Bye message to the other terminal, so that the other terminal can reply with a 200OK message to the terminal, so that the P-CSCF network element can send call end information to the PCRF network element, so that the fourth network device can send a delete bearer request message to the second network device through the third network device, that is, the fourteenth message can specifically be a delete bearer request message. Thus, the second network device can determine to send the thirteenth message to the fourth network device.

[0290] It can be seen that since the fourth network device can instruct the second network device to delete the second connection channel, that is, the subsequent first candidate channel can continue to transmit business data, the second network device can directly notify the fourth network device that it can continue to transmit the business data received through the first connection channel, instead of discarding the business data. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal cannot continue to conduct the second business with other devices.

[0291] Step 205c: When the fifteenth message is received from the terminal, the second network device sends the thirteenth message to the fourth network device according to the fifteenth message.

[0292] In the embodiment of the present application, the fifteenth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service.

[0293] In some embodiments of the present application, the fifteenth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is the fourth state.

[0294] In some embodiments of the present application, when the terminal releases the second DRB and establishes the first DRB according to the second configuration information, and / or modifies the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, that is, when the service data of the second service can continue to be transmitted through the first DRB and / or the first DRB after modifying the configuration parameters, the terminal can send the fifteenth message to the second network device, so that the second network device can determine to send the thirteenth message to the fourth network device.

[0295] It can be seen that since the terminal can also indicate to the second network device that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service, the second network device can directly notify the fourth network device to continue transmitting the service data received through the first connection channel instead of discarding the service data. Therefore, the situation where the terminal cannot continue to conduct the second service with other devices can be avoided.

[0296] The bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a fourth bearer establishment device, or a terminal, or a functional module or entity in the terminal. The bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the terminal executing the bearer establishment method as an example.

[0297] Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for establishing a bearer according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig.10 As shown, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 301 and 302.

[0298] Step 301: A terminal receives first configuration information from a first network device.

[0299] In some embodiments of the present application, when the terminal is connected to the first network device, when the terminal initiates a voice call to another terminal, the terminal can send an Invite message to the P-CSCF network element and trigger the voice call process, so that the Figure 1 Steps 4 to 12 in the embodiment, so that the first network device can receive a bearer modification request message, that is, a first message, from the second network device, and send first configuration information to the terminal according to the first message, so that the terminal can receive the first configuration information.

[0300] Step 302: The terminal performs at least one of the following according to the first configuration information:

[0301] Release a first DRB between the terminal and the first network device, and establish a second DRB between the terminal and the first network device;

[0302] Modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB between the terminal and the first network device.

[0303] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first DRB is used to transmit business data of the second business, and the above-mentioned second DRB is used to transmit business data of the first business. The first DRB after modifying the configuration parameters can be used to transmit business data of the first business.

[0304] In some embodiments of the present application, the first service is a voice service, and the second service is a data service.

[0305] The embodiment of the present application provides a bearer establishment method, in which a terminal can receive first configuration information from a first network device, and according to the first configuration information, release a first DRB between the terminal and the first network device, and establish a second DRB between the terminal and the first network device, and / or modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB between the terminal and the first network device; wherein the first DRB is used to transmit the service data of the second service, and the second DRB is used to transmit the service data of the first service, and the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit the service data of the first service. Since the terminal can release the first DRB established between the terminal and the first network device and establish the second DRB when receiving the first configuration information, that is, the terminal can first reduce the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device, and then establish the second DRB, that is, the terminal can establish the second DRB while ensuring that the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device does not reach the upper limit, instead of directly establishing a new DRB for transmitting the service data of the first service. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal cannot establish the second DRB because the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device reaches the upper limit; and / or, since the terminal receives the first configuration information, , the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB established between the terminal and the first network device can be modified to obtain a DRB for transmitting the business data of the first business, that is, the terminal can modify the DRB for transmitting the business data of the first business without increasing the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device, instead of directly establishing a new DRB for transmitting the business data of the first business. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal cannot establish a second DRB because the number of DRBs established between the terminal and the first network device reaches the upper limit; thereby, the probability of the terminal being unable to communicate with other devices can be reduced, and thus the quality of communication between the terminal and other devices can be improved.

[0306] The following will illustrate with different examples.

[0307] Example 1: Not maintaining the connection between the first network device and the core network

[0308] In this example, after the above step 302, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 303 and 304.

[0309] Step 303: The terminal receives a third message from the first network device.

[0310] It should be noted that, for the description of the terminal receiving the third message, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0311] Step 304: The terminal releases the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device according to the third message.

[0312] In this way, it can be seen that since the terminal can release the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device according to the instruction of the first network device, so that the terminal can enter the idle state, in the subsequent steps, the terminal can establish the first connection channel again during the process of establishing the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device, so that the terminal can communicate with other devices through the first connection channel. Therefore, the situation where the terminal cannot communicate with other devices through the first connection channel can be avoided.

[0313] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 304, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 305.

[0314] Step 305: When the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device is released, the terminal establishes an RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device according to the sixteenth message.

[0315] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned sixteenth message includes at least one of the following: a service request message, a location update message, and a registration message.

[0316] It should be noted that, for the description of the terminal obtaining the sixteenth message, reference may be made to the specific description in the relevant technology, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated here.

[0317] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first connection channel has been deleted, upon completing the release of the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device, the terminal may establish the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device according to the sixteenth message.

[0318] In some embodiments of the present application, when the terminal completes establishing the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device, the terminal may also initiate a process of establishing the first connection channel.

[0319] It can be seen that when the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device is released, the terminal can directly establish the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device according to the sixteenth message without waiting until the terminal needs to transmit business data. Therefore, the terminal can directly transmit the business data that needs to be transmitted without waiting for the terminal to establish the RRC connection between the terminal and the first network device. In this way, the time consumed in transmitting business data can be reduced.

[0320] Example 2: Not maintaining the connection between the first network device and the core network

[0321] In this example, after the above step 302, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 306.

[0322] Step 306: The terminal sends a twelfth message to the second network device.

[0323] In some embodiments of the present application, the first network device is an access network device, and the second network device is a core network element such as an MME network element or an AMF network element.

[0324] In the embodiment of the present application, the twelfth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service.

[0325] In some embodiments of the present application, the twelfth message is used to indicate that the state of the first connection channel is a third state, and the third state is used to represent that the first connection channel cannot transmit service data of the second service.

[0326] It should be noted that, for the description of the terminal sending the twelfth message to the second network device, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0327] It can be seen that the terminal can indicate to the second network device that the first connection channel cannot transmit the service data of the second service, so that the second network device can notify other core network devices to directly discard the service data received through the first connection channel instead of sending the service data to the terminal through the first connection channel. Therefore, the resources required to transmit the service data can be saved.

[0328] In this example, after the above step 302, the bearer establishment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 307 and 308.

[0329] Step 307: The terminal receives second configuration information from the first network device.

[0330] It should be noted that, for the description of the terminal receiving the second configuration information from the first network device, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0331] Step 308: The terminal performs at least one of the following according to the second configuration information:

[0332] Release the second DRB and establish the first DRB;

[0333] Modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB.

[0334] In an embodiment of the present application, the first DRB after the configuration parameters are modified can be used to transmit business data of the second business.

[0335] It can be seen that since the terminal can receive the second configuration information from the first network device, the terminal can release the second DRB and establish the first DRB, and / or modify the configuration parameters corresponding to the first DRB, so as to continue to transmit the business data of the second service through the first DRB and / or the first DRB after modifying the configuration parameters. Therefore, it can avoid the situation where the terminal cannot continue to conduct the second service with other devices.

[0336] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 308, the bearer establishment method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 309.

[0337] Step 309: The terminal sends a fifteenth message to the second network device.

[0338] In the embodiment of the present application, the fifteenth message is used to indicate that the first connection channel can transmit the service data of the second service.

[0339] It should be noted that, for the description of the terminal sending the fifteenth message to the second network device, reference may be made to the specific description in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.
