Abstract

Claims (44)

1. A data receiving method, applied to a terminal and comprising:

in a case that a network side device needs to perform early data transmission EDT and the terminal is in a radio resource control RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, in a random access process with the network side device, receiving EDT data sent by the network side device and performing RRC state switching;

wherein the receiving EDT data sent by the network side device comprises:

receiving an RRC connection setup message and an RRC early data complete message that are sent together by the network side device;

wherein the RRC early data complete message carries the EDT-data data, the RRC early data complete message precedes the RRC connection setup message;

wherein the receiving EDT data sent by the network side device and performing RRC state switching comprises:

obtaining the EDT data in the RRC early data complete message, skipping, by the terminal, performing an operation of entering an idle state, and performing state switching according to the RRC connection setup message.

2. The data receiving method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving EDT data sent by the network side device comprises:

receiving an RRC connection setup message sent by the network side device;

wherein the RRC connection setup message carries the EDT data.

3. The data receiving method according to claim 2 , wherein the RRC connection setup message comprises a non-access stratum dedicated information indicator field, and the EDT data is located in the non-access stratum dedicated information indicator field.

4. The data receiving method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving message execution sequence indication information sent by the network side device;

wherein the message execution sequence indication information is used to instruct the terminal to first obtain the EDT data in the RRC early data complete message, and then perform state switching according to the RRC connection setup message; or

the message execution sequence indication information is used to instruct the terminal to first perform state switching according to the RRC connection setup message, and then obtain the EDT data in the RRC early data complete message.

5. The data receiving method according to claim 1 , wherein the RRC early data complete message and the RRC connection setup message are marked with different logical channel identifiers.

6. The data receiving method according to claim 1 , wherein the RRC early data complete message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to obtain the EDT data according to the RRC early data complete message.

7. The data receiving method according to claim 1 , wherein the skipping, by the terminal, performing an operation of entering an idle state comprises:

skipping, by the terminal, an operation of resetting a medium access control MAC entity.

8. A data sending method, applied to a network side device and comprising:

in a case that a network side device needs to perform early data transmission EDT and a terminal is in a radio resource control RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, in a random access process with the terminal, sending EDT data to the terminal and instructing the terminal to perform RRC state switching;

wherein the sending EDT data to the terminal comprises:

sending the radio resource control RRC connection setup message and an RRC early data complete message together to the terminal;

wherein the RRC early data complete message carries the EDT data, the RRC early data complete message precedes the RRC connection setup message;

wherein the instructing the terminal to perform RRC state switching comprises:

instructing the terminal to obtain the EDT data in the RRC early data complete message, skip performing an operation of entering an idle state, and perform state switching according to the RRC connection setup message.

9. The data sending method according to claim 8 , wherein the sending EDT data to the terminal comprises:

adding the EDT data to an RRC connection setup message and sending the RRC connection setup message to the terminal.

10. The data sending method according to claim 9 , wherein the RRC connection setup message comprises a non-access stratum dedicated information indicator field, and the EDT data is located in the non-access stratum dedicated information indicator field.

11. The data sending method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

sending message execution sequence indication information to the terminal;

wherein the message execution sequence indication information is used to instruct the terminal to first obtain the EDT data in the RRC early data complete message, and then perform state switching according to the RRC connection setup message; or

the message execution sequence indication information is used to instruct the terminal to first perform state switching according to the RRC connection setup message, and then obtain the EDT data in the RRC early data complete message.

12. The data sending method according to claim 8 , wherein the RRC early data complete message and the RRC connection setup message are marked with different logical channel identifiers.

13. The data sending method according to claim 8 , wherein the RRC early data complete message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to obtain the EDT data according to the RRC early data complete message.

14. A terminal, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the following steps are implemented:

in a case that a network side device needs to perform early data transmission EDT and the terminal is in a radio resource control RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, in a random access process with the network side device, receiving EDT data sent by the network side device and performing RRC state switching;

wherein the receiving EDT data sent by the network side device comprises:

receiving an RRC connection setup message and an RRC early data complete message that are sent together by the network side device;

wherein the RRC early data complete message carries the EDT data, the RRC early data complete message precedes the RRC connection setup message;

wherein the receiving EDT data sent by the network side device and performing RRC state switching comprises:

obtaining the EDT data in the RRC early data complete message, skipping, by the terminal, performing an operation of entering an idle state, and performing state switching according to the RRC connection setup message.

15. The terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the receiving EDT data sent by the network side device comprises:

receiving an RRC connection setup message sent by the network side device; wherein the RRC connection setup message carries the EDT data.
