Abstract

Claims (46)

1. A first device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the first device to perform a method comprising:

receiving a first message sent by a second device, wherein the first message is used by the first device to establish a first session with a third device,

wherein the first message carries a first identifier and a second identifier,

wherein the first identifier is a user equipment protocol data unit session identifier, and

wherein the second identifier is a vlan identifier that indicates information about a group of user equipment protocol data unit session identifiers to which the first identifier belongs; and

receiving a data packet that is sent by the third device by using the first session,

wherein the data packet is marked as belonging to the group indicated by the second identifier after receiving the first message.

2. A first device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the first device to perform a method comprising:

sending a third message to a fifth device,

wherein the third message is used by the first device to establish a first bearer with the fifth device,

wherein the third message carries a fifth identifier and a second identifier,

wherein the second identifier is a vlan identifier that indicates information about a group of user equipment protocol data unit session identifiers to which a fourth identifier belongs, and

wherein the fourth identifier is a user equipment data radio bearer identifier associated with a fourth device; and

sending a data packet to the fifth device by using the first bearer, wherein the data packet is marked as belonging to the group indicated by the second identifier after sending the third message.

3. The first device according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second list sent by the fifth device, wherein the second list is used by the fifth device to send the data packet to the fourth device in a unicast manner after sending the third message.

4. The first device according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a sixth identifier sent by the fifth device, wherein the sixth identifier is used by the fifth device to send the data packet to the fourth device in a multicast manner after sending the third message.

5. The first device according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending the sixth identifier to the fourth device, wherein the sixth identifier is used by the fourth device to receive the data packet that is sent by the fifth device in a multicast manner after sending the third message.

6. The first device according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a first notification message sent by the fifth device, wherein the first notification message is used to notify the first device that the fifth device sends the data packet to the fourth device in a unicast manner after sending the third message.

7. A first device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the first device to perform a method comprising:

sending a fourth message to a fifth device,

wherein the fourth message is used by the first device to establish a second bearer with the fifth device,

wherein the fourth message carries a seventh identifier, a second identifier, and a set of fourth identifiers,

wherein each fourth identifier in the set of fourth identifiers is a user equipment data radio bearer-identifier,

wherein the seventh identifier is a group data radio bearer identifier in a one-to-one correspondence with a fourth identifier in the set of fourth identifiers, and

wherein the second identifier is a vlan identifier that indicates information about a group of user equipment protocol data unit session identifiers to which the fourth identifier in the set of fourth identifiers belongs; and

sending a data packet to the fifth device by using the second bearer, wherein the data packet is marked as belonging to the group indicated by the second identifier after sending the fourth message.

8. The first device according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a list sent by the fifth device, wherein the list is used by the fifth device to send the data packet to the fourth device in a unicast manner after sending the fourth message.

9. The first device according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a sixth identifier sent by the fifth device, wherein the sixth identifier is used by the fifth device to send the data packet to the fourth device in a multicast manner after sending the fourth message.

10. The first device according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending the sixth identifier to the fourth device, wherein the sixth identifier is used by the fourth device to receive the data packet that is sent by the fifth device in a multicast manner after sending the fourth message.

11. The first device according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a first notification message sent by the fifth device, wherein the first notification message is used to notify the first device that the fifth device sends the data packet to the fourth device in a unicast manner after sending the fourth message.

12. The first device according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second notification message sent by the fifth device, wherein the second notification message is used to notify the first device that the fifth device sends the data packet to the fourth device in a multicast manner after sending the fourth message.
