Abstract

Embodiments relate to the communications field, and provide a configuration method, a network device, and user equipment, so as to correctly configure different types of radio bearers and correctly configure a MAC entity. The method includes determining, by the network device, a configuration type and generating a first message according to the configuration type. The method also includes sending the first message to the user equipment. The method embodiment is used to configure a radio bearer.

Claims (19)

1. A user equipment, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for execution by the processor, the program including instructions to:

receive a first message, wherein the first message instructs the user equipment to configure a radio bearer;

determine to establish a third-type radio bearer in response to the first message comprising a first radio bearer establishment and modification list, and a second radio bearer establishment and modification list, the first radio bearer establishment and modification list comprising identity information of the radio bearer, and the second radio bearer establishment and modification list comprising the identity information of the radio bearer, and in response to the identity information of the radio bearer being absent from a current configuration of the user equipment;

and

configure the third-type radio bearer, wherein the third-type radio bearer is served by a master cell group of a master base station, and by a secondary cell group of a secondary base station.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the first message is a radio resource control message.

3. A method comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment, a first message, wherein the first message instructs the user equipment to configure a radio bearer;

determining, by the user equipment, to establish a third-type radio bearer, in response to the first message comprising a first radio bearer establishment and modification list, and a second radio bearer establishment and modification list, the first radio bearer establishment and modification list comprising identity information of the radio bearer, and the second radio bearer establishment and modification list comprising the identity information of the radio bearer, and in response to the identity information of the radio bearer being absent from a current configuration of the user equipment;

and

configuring the third-type radio bearer, wherein the third-type radio bearer is served by a master cell group of a master base station, and by a secondary cell group of a secondary base station.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first message is a radio resource control message.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a user equipment, cause the user equipment to:

receive a first message, wherein the first message instructs the user equipment to configure a radio bearer;

determine to establish a third-type radio bearer in response to the first message comprising a first radio bearer establishment and modification list, and a second radio bearer establishment and modification list, the first radio bearer establishment and modification list comprising identity information of the radio bearer, and the second radio bearer establishment and modification list comprising the identity information of the radio bearer, and in response to the identity information of the radio bearer being absent from a current configuration of the user equipment; and

configure the third-type radio bearer, wherein the third-type radio bearer is served by a master cell group of a master base station, and by a secondary cell group of a secondary base station.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5 , wherein the first message is a radio resource control message.
