Abstract

A data transmission method, a terminal, and an access-network network element are disclosed. An interface is disposed on a policy client of UE and an operating system or an application layer of the UE. The interface is used to provide the operating system or the application layer with a policy related to the operating system or the application layer, and collect, from the operating system or the application layer, information required for a report. In this way, a dedicated transport channel is implemented by a bottom layer of the UE, reports and policies are transmitted on the dedicated transport channel, and during implementation, a protocol is not coupled with the application layer or the operating system, so that the system is simple to implement.

Claims (11)

1. A data transmission method, comprising:

receiving, by a policy client of a terminal, non-access stratum (NAS) signaling from a policy control function (PCF) through an access and mobility management function (AMF) and a control plane interface between the AMF and the terminal, the NAS signaling comprising a slice selection policy,

the terminal comprising an application layer, an operating system, and a hardware layer, wherein the policy client is disposed on the hardware layer, and the slice selection policy comprises a trigger condition, a slice identifier, and an application identifier corresponding to an application in the application layer; and

accessing, by the application, a slice corresponding to the slice identifier when the trigger condition is satisfied.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the trigger condition comprises one or more of a designated location or a designated time period.

3. An apparatus, comprising an application layer, an operating system, and a hardware layer; wherein a policy client is disposed on the hardware layer, wherein the hardware layer further comprises:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to:

receive non-access stratum (NAS) signaling from a policy control function (PCF) through an access and mobility management function (AMF) and a control plane interface between the AMF and the apparatus, wherein the NAS signaling comprises a slice selection policy, wherein the slice selection policy comprises a trigger condition, a slice identifier, and an application identifier corresponding to an application in the application layer; and

wherein the application in the application layer is configured to access a slice corresponding to the slice identifier in the case that the trigger condition is satisfied.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the trigger condition comprises one or more of a designated location or a designated time period.
