Abstract

A method includes: A basic application layer sends first information that includes a first business requirement and a first port to a basic service layer. The basic service layer sends second information that includes the first business requirement, a first broadcast business channel, and a logical channel type to an access layer. The first broadcast business channel is determined based on the first information. The access layer supports a first access technology that is determined, based on the first business requirement, from a plurality of access technologies supported by the access layer. The access layer sends a first mapping relationship that indicates the first broadcast business channel and a first logical channel to the basic service layer. The first logical channel is a logical channel that supports the first access technology and that is determined based on the second information.
