Abstract

The present disclosure provides a transmission method and apparatus for an AI-native service, and a storage medium. A terminal sends an AI-native service establishment request to a base station through air interface signaling; the base station determines to establish the AI-native service according to the AI-native service establishment request and sends AI-native service establishment indication information to the terminal. Then data and/or signaling of the AI-native service can be transmitted between the base station and the terminal over a radio bearer (RB) carrying the AI-native service. In the embodiment, the data and/or the signaling of the AI-native service serves as an independent service flow and is transmitted over a specific radio bearer between the base station and the terminal, to ensure reliable transmission of the data and/or the signaling of the AI-native service.
