Communication method and communications apparatus to deliver first data to an upper layer

1. A communication method, comprising:

determining, by a transmit end device, a first moment, wherein the first moment is a moment when a receive end device needs to deliver first data to an upper layer of a communications protocol layer of the receive end device; and

sending, by the transmit end device, first indication information and the first data to the receive end device, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the receive end device to deliver the first data to the upper layer of the communications protocol layer of the receive end device at the first moment, wherein the sending, by the transmit end device, first indication information and the first data comprises determining, by the transmit end device, second duration, wherein the second duration is duration between a current moment and the first moment; and sending, by the transmit end device when determining that the second duration is greater than or equal to a preset first threshold, the first indication information and the first data.

2. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of the first moment.

3. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of a first duration, wherein:

the first moment is a moment that a preset second moment reaches after the first duration.

4. The communication method according to claim 3 , wherein the second moment is a moment when the transmit end device receives the first data, or a moment when the transmit end device sends the first data.

5. A communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a receive end device, first indication information and first data, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the receive end device to deliver the first data to an upper layer of a communications protocol layer of the receive end device at a first moment; and

sending, by the receive end device, the first data to the upper layer of the communications protocol layer of the receive end device at the first moment, if a current moment is before the first moment or the current moment is the first moment; and

discarding, by the receive end device, the first data, if the current moment is after the first moment.

6. The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of the first moment.

7. The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of a first duration, wherein:

the first moment is a moment that a preset second moment reaches after the first duration; and the communication method further comprises: determining, by the receive end device, the first moment based on the second moment and the first duration.

8. A communications apparatus, comprising:

a storage medium including executable instructions and a processor, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

determine a first moment, wherein the first moment is a moment when a receive end device needs to deliver first data to an upper layer of a communications protocol layer of the receive end device; and

send first indication information and the first data, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the receive end device to deliver the first data to the upper layer of the communications protocol layer of the receive end device at the first moment, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:

determine a second duration, wherein the second duration is duration between a current moment and the first moment; and

send, when determining that the second duration is greater than or equal to a preset first threshold, the first indication information and the first data.

9. The communications apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of the first moment.

10. The communications apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of a first duration, wherein:

the first moment is a moment that a preset second moment reaches after the first duration.

11. The communications apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the second moment is a moment when a communications unit receives the first data, or a moment when the communications unit sends the first data.

12. A communications apparatus, comprising:

a storage medium including executable instructions and a processor, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

receive first indication information and first data from a transmit end device, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the apparatus to deliver the first data to an upper layer of a communications protocol layer of the apparatus at a first moment; and

send, the first data to the upper layer of the communications protocol layer of the apparatus, if a current moment is before the first moment or the current moment is the first moment and discard the first data, if the current moment is after the first moment.

13. The communications apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of the first moment.

14. The communications apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the first indication information comprises indication information of a first duration, wherein:

the first moment is a moment that a preset second moment reaches after the first duration; and the processor is further configured to determine the first moment based on the second moment and the first duration.
