Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose an information processing method, a base station, and a terminal. The method includes: receiving, by a master base station, a new radio packet data convergence protocol (NR PDCP) configuration and identification information of a data radio bearer (DRB) corresponding to the NR PDCP configuration from a secondary base station; and sending, by the master base station, the NR PDCP configuration and the identification information of the DRB to a terminal, where the master base station and the secondary base station are base stations of different radio access technologies (RATs).

Claims (47)

1. A communications system that includes a master base station and a secondary base station of different radio access technologies (RATs), wherein

the secondary base station is configured to: send a first container and a second container to a master base station, wherein the first container comprises a new radio packet data convergence protocol (NR PDCP) configuration of the secondary base station, and identification information of a data radio bearer (DRB) corresponding to the NR PDCP configuration, and the second container comprises an air interface configuration of the secondary base station except the NR PDCP configuration;

the master base station is configured to:

receive the first container and the second container from the secondary base station; and

send the first container and the second container to a terminal.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the NR PDCP configuration corresponding to a secondary cell group bearer (SCG bearer) of the secondary base station, or the NR PDCP configuration corresponding to a secondary cell group split bearer (SCG split bearer) of the secondary base station.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the secondary base station is configured to generate the first container.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein

the secondary base station is configured to encapsulate the NR PDCP configuration and the identification information of the DRB into the first container.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the secondary base station is further configured to generate the second container.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

both the first container and the second container are in a container sent from the secondary base station to the master base station.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein both the master base station and the secondary base station use NR PDCP.

8. An information processing method in a communications system including a master base station and a secondary base station of different radio access technologies (RATs), wherein the method comprises:

sending, by the secondary base station, a first container and a second container to the master base station, wherein the first container comprises a new radio packet data convergence protocol (NR PDCP) configuration of the secondary base station, and identification information of a data radio bearer (DRB) corresponding to the NR PDCP configuration, and the second container comprises an air interface configuration of the secondary base station except the NR PDCP configuration;

receiving, by the master base station, the first container and the second container from the secondary base station; and

sending, by the master base station, the first container and the second container to a terminal.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

the NR PDCP configuration comprises a PDCP configuration of a secondary cell group bearer (SCG bearer) on the secondary base station, or

a PDCP configuration of a secondary cell group split bearer (SCG split bearer) on the secondary base station.

10. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

generating, by the secondary base station, the first container.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the generating, by the secondary base station, the first container comprises:

encapsulating, by the secondary base station, the NR PDCP configuration and the identification information of the DRB into the first container.

12. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

generating, by the secondary base station, the second container.

13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein

both the first container and the second container are in a container sent from the secondary base station to the master base station.

14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein both the master base station and the secondary base station use NR PDCP.

15. An information processing method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal, a new radio packet data convergence protocol (NR PDCP) configuration of a secondary base station, identification information of a data radio bearer (DRB) corresponding to the NR PDCP configuration, and an air interface configuration of the secondary base station except the NR PDCP configuration from a master base station, wherein

the NR PDCP configuration and identification information of the DRB are comprised in a first container sent from the master base station and generated by the secondary base station, the air interface configuration is comprised in a second container sent from the master base station and generated by the secondary base station; and

applying, by the terminal, the NR PDCP configuration to the DRB.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein

the NR PDCP configuration corresponding to a secondary cell group bearer (SCG bearer) of the secondary base station, or the NR PDCP configuration corresponding to a secondary cell group split bearer (SCG split bearer) of the secondary base station.

17. The method according to claim 15 , wherein both the first container and the second container are in a container sent from the secondary base station to the master base station.

18. The method according to claim 15 , wherein both the master base station and the secondary base station use NR PDCP.

19. An apparatus, comprising:

an interface circuit coupled with at least one processor, configured to receive a new radio packet data convergence protocol (NR PDCP) configuration of a secondary base station, identification information of a data radio bearer (DRB) corresponding to the NR PDCP configuration, and an air interface configuration of the secondary base station except the NR PDCP configuration from a master base station, wherein the NR PDCP configuration and identification information of the DRB are comprised in a first container sent from the master base station and generated by the secondary base station, and the air interface configuration is comprised in a second container sent from the master base station and generated by the secondary base station; and

the at least one processor, configured to apply the NR PDCP configuration to the DRB.

20. The apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein

the NR PDCP configuration corresponding to a secondary cell group bearer (SCG bearer) of the secondary base station, or the NR PDCP configuration corresponding to a secondary cell group split bearer (SCG split bearer) of the secondary base station.

21. The apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein both the first container and the second container are in a container sent from the secondary base station to the master base station.

22. The apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein both the master base station and the secondary base station use NR PDCP.
