Abstract

A data transmission method includes: when a data duplication function of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer is switched from an activated state to a closed state, determining a first entity of a protocol data unit (PDU) for transmitting the PDCP layer; and sending the PDU to a network device via the first entity.

Claims (30)

1. A data transmission method, comprising:

determining, when a data duplication function of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer is switched from an activated state to an inactivated state, a first entity used for transmitting a protocol data unit (PDU) of the PDCP layer; and

sending the PDU to a network device via the first entity;

wherein the determining the first entity used for transmitting the PDU of the PDCP layer comprises:

acquiring at least one second entity, the at least one second entity being a radio link control (RLC) entity corresponding to the PDU when the data duplication function is in the activated state; and

determining the first entity from the at least one second entity;

wherein the determining the first entity from the at least one second entity comprises:

determining the first entity according to a first order, wherein the first order is an arrangement order of the at least one second entity and is a sequence formed by sorting the at least one second entity according to a priority of a logical channel corresponding to the RLC entity.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the first entity from the at least one second entity further comprises:

determining, in the at least one second entity, a RLC entity mapped onto a logical channel group (LCG) as the first entity.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a first entity used for transmitting a protocol data unit (PDU) of the PDCP layer comprises:

determining the first entity according to indication information sent by the network device.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving the indication information sent by the network device, the indication information being used for indicating the first entity.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the receiving the indication information sent by the network device comprises:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) signaling sent by the network device, the RRC signaling including the indication information.

6. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor, configured to determine, when a data duplication function of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer is switched from an activated state to an inactivated state, a first entity used for transmitting a protocol data unit (PDU) of the PDCP layer; and

a transceiver, configured to send the PDU to a network device via the first entity;

wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire at least one second entity, the at least one second entity being a radio link control (RLC) entity corresponding to the PDU when the data duplication function is in the activated state; and

determine the first entity from the at least one second entity according to a first order, wherein the first order is an arrangement order of the at least one second entity and is a sequence formed by sorting the at least one second entity according to a priority of a logical channel corresponding to the RLC entity.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine, in the at least one second entity, a RLC entity mapped onto a logical channel group (LCG) as the first entity.

8. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to:

determine the first entity according to indication information sent by the network device.

9. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

receive the indication information sent by the network device, the indication information being used for indicating the first entity.

10. The terminal device according to claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is configured to:

receive a radio resource control (RRC) signaling sent by the network device, the RRC signaling including the indication information.
