Command indication method and apparatus and information interaction method and apparatus
A command indication method and apparatus and information interaction method and apparatus. The command indication method includes: transmitting to a user equipment (UE), a command for activating or deactivating duplication transmission by using a bitmap field, to activate or deactivate duplication transmission of one or more packet data convergence protocol entities or radio bearers in the UE. Hence, activation or deactivation may be performed on the duplication transmission mode of one or more PDCP entities in the user equipment.
1. A command indication apparatus, comprising:
a memory that stores a plurality of instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
transmit to a user equipment (UE), a command for activating or deactivating duplication transmission by using a bitmap field, to activate or deactivate duplication transmission of one or more packet data convergence protocol entities or radio bearers in the UE,
wherein one bit or a plurality of bits in the bitmap field correspond(s) to one of the packet data convergence protocol entities or radio bearers, and
wherein an i-th bit or an i-th pair of bits in the bitmap field correspond(s) to an i-th packet data convergence protocol entity in ranked packet data convergence protocol entities in the UE that are configured as duplication transmission.
2. The command indication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an i-th bit or an i-th pair of bits in the bitmap field correspond(s) to a packet data convergence protocol entity of a data radio bearer identity being i; or
an i-th bit or an i-th pair of bits in the bitmap field correspond(s) to a packet data convergence protocol entity of a duplication transmission identity being i.
3. The command indication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the packet data convergence protocol entities that are configured as duplication transmission are ranked in a sequential order of configuring duplication transmission by a network device, or are ranked in a sequential order of corresponding data radio bearer identities.
4. The command indication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a value of one bit or a plurality of bits in the bitmap field is used to indicate changing a duplication transmission state of the corresponding packet data convergence protocol entity, and another value is used to indicate maintaining a duplication transmission state of the corresponding packet data convergence protocol entity.
5. The command indication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein one bit or a plurality of bits in the bitmap field is/are used to indicate that the corresponding packet data convergence protocol entity executes one of the following operations:
the duplication transmission of the packet data convergence protocol entity being activated, and the packet data convergence protocol entity simultaneously performing duplication transmission in a plurality of links;
the duplication transmission of the packet data convergence protocol entity being deactivated, and the packet data convergence protocol entity simultaneously performing split transmission in a plurality of links; and
the duplication transmission of the packet data convergence protocol entity being deactivated, and the packet data convergence protocol entity performing single-link transmission in a designated radio link control entity.
6. The command indication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor further configured to, according to radio link quality and/or traffic features of the UE and/or duplication transmission configuration notification message(s) transmitted by one or more network devices, determine whether the one or more packet data convergence protocol entities or radio bearers activate(s) a duplication transmission mode.
