Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and provides a parameter configuration method, apparatus and system, a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: a core network sends parameter configuration information to a relay terminal device, wherein the parameter configuration information is used for configuring QoS parameters between the relay terminal device and a remote terminal device in the case of starting a reflective QoS mechanism. The present application ensures the quality of service transmission between the relay terminal device and the remote terminal device.
