Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a data transmission method and apparatus and a terminal. The method includes: performing, by a terminal, a first action according to first information, where the first action is that at least one user module of the terminal transmits a same piece of application data through a plurality of connections.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A data transmission method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal, different UE Route Selection Policy URSP rules sent by a PCF network element, wherein traffic descriptors of the different URSP rules comprise different data network names DNNs allocated to a same piece of application data respectively; and
establishing, by the terminal, a plurality of redundant PDU sessions for the same piece of application data according to the traffic descriptors of the different URSP rules, wherein the plurality of redundant PDU sessions correspond to the different DNNs respectively;
wherein establishing, by the terminal, the plurality of redundant PDU sessions for the same piece of application data comprises:
when initiating establishment or modification of the plurality of redundant PDU sessions, sending, by the terminal, a first identifier to a network, wherein the first identifier comprises: an indication for whether the session is a session of redundant transmission and/or a path number of the redundant PDU sessions;
wherein, the plurality of redundant PDU sessions correspond to a same user module of the terminal, and the redundant transmission is performed on the same piece of application data through the plurality of redundant PDU sessions.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein one or more RSDs under one traffic descriptor include one or more second parameters, where the second parameter is an attribute parameter of a session.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said second parameter is included in one RSD or the second parameter is included in a plurality of RSDs.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein said second parameter is used for transmitting data flows under one traffic descriptor by using one or more sessions corresponding to the second parameter.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein said one or more sessions corresponding to the second parameter refer to one or more sessions corresponding to a combination of the second parameter and a parameter in an RSD other than the RSD at which the second parameter is located.

6. A data transmission apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
a receiving unit, configured to receive different UE Route Selection Policy URSP rules sent by a PCF network element, wherein traffic descriptors of the different URSP rules comprise different data network names DNNs allocated to a same piece of application data respectively; and
a transmission unit, configured to establish a plurality of redundant PDU sessions for the same piece of application data according to the traffic descriptors of the different URSP rules, wherein the plurality of redundant PDU sessions correspond to the different DNNs respectively;
wherein the transmission unit is further configured to: when initiating establishment or modification of the plurality of redundant PDU sessions, send a first identifier to a network, wherein the first identifier comprises: an indication for whether the session is a session of redundant transmission and/or a path number of the redundant PDU sessions;
wherein, the plurality of redundant PDU sessions correspond to a same user module of the terminal, and the redundant transmission is performed on the same piece of application data through the plurality of redundant PDU sessions.

7. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein one or more RSDs under one traffic descriptor include one or more second parameters, where the second parameter is an attribute parameter of a session.

8. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said second parameter is included in one RSD or the second parameter is included in a plurality of RSDs.

9. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein said second parameter is used for transmitting data flows under one traffic descriptor by using one or more sessions corresponding to the second parameter.

10. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein said one or more sessions corresponding to the second parameter refer to one or more sessions corresponding to a combination of the second parameter and a parameter in an RSD other than the RSD at which the second parameter is located.
