Abstract

A data transmission method includes obtaining a user equipment route selection policy (USRP) rule parameter of a started application, establishing a first protocol data unit (PDU) session corresponding to the started application with a network device through the modem module when no PDU session parameter matching the URSP rule parameter exists in the mapping table, adding an interface name of the first PDU session to the routing table, adding a mapping relationship between the session parameter of the first PDU session and the interface name of the first PDU session to the mapping table, and routing to-be-transmitted data of the started application to the first PDU session by using the interface name of the first PDU session.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A data transmission method, implemented by a terminal device, wherein the data transmission method comprises:
sending, an application platform of the terminal device, a first establishment request to a modem system of the terminal when no PDU session parameter matching the URSP rule parameter exists in a mapping table, wherein the first establishment request requests to establish the first PDU session comprises an identifier of the started application;
obtaining, by the modem system, a user equipment route selection policy (URSP) rule parameter of a started application based on the identifier of the started application in the first establishment request;
establishing, by the modem system, a first protocol data unit (PDU) session based on the URSP rule parameter of the started application by interacting with a network device when no PDU session parameter matching the URSP rule parameter exists in the mapping table of the terminal device, wherein the first PDU session corresponds to the started application;
feeding back, by the modem system, a first establishment response to the application platform, wherein the first establishment response indicates that the first PDU session is successfully established, and wherein the first establishment response comprises a first interface name of the first PDU session and a first session parameter of the first PDU session;
adding the first interface name of the first PDU session to a routing table of the terminal device;
adding a first mapping relationship to the mapping table, wherein the first mapping relationship is between the first session parameter of the first PDU session and the first interface name of the first PDU session; and
routing to-be-transmitted data of the started application to the first PDU session using the first interface name of the first PDU session.

2. The data transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising:
adding, by the application platform, the first interface name of the first PDU session to the routing table based on the first establishment response;
establishing a second mapping relationship; and
adding the second mapping relationship to the mapping table.

3. The data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein before obtaining the URSP rule parameter of a started application, the data transmission method further comprises:
storing, by the modem system, URSP rule information from the network device;
sending the URSP rule information to an application platform of the terminal device; and
storing, by the application platform, the URSP rule information.

4. The data transmission method of claim 3 , further comprising:
sending, by the application platform, a second establishment request to the modem system requesting to establish a second PDU session, wherein the second PDU session corresponds to an application corresponding to a second URSP rule parameter with a highest precedence or a default URSP rule parameter in the URSP rule information;
establishing, by the modem system, the second PDU session based on the second establishment request and the URSP rule information by interacting with the network device;
feeding back, by the modem system, a second establishment response to the application platform indicating that the second PDU session is successfully established, wherein the second establishment response comprises a second interface name of the second PDU session and a second session parameter of the second PDU session;
adding, by the application platform, the second interface name to the routing table based on the second establishment response;
establishing a second mapping relationship between the second session parameter and the second interface name; and
adding the second mapping relationship to the mapping table.

5. The data transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the modem system, the identifier of the started application from an application platform of the terminal device; and
obtaining the URSP rule parameter of the started application based on the identifier of the started application.

6. The data transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising:
establishing, by the modem system, the first PDU session based on the URSP rule parameter of the started application by interacting with the network device when no PDU session parameter matching the URSP rule parameter exists in the mapping table; and
sending, by the modem system, a first notification message to an application platform of the terminal device indicating that the first PDU session is successfully established, wherein the first notification message comprises the first interface name and the first session parameter of the first PDU session.

7. The data transmission method of claim 6 , further comprising:
adding, by the application platform, the first interface name of the first PDU session to the routing table based on the first notification message;
establishing the second mapping relationship; and
adding the second mapping relationship to the mapping table.

8. The data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein before obtaining the URSP rule parameter of a started application, the data transmission method further comprises storing, by the modem system, URSP rule information from the network device.

9. The data transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising:
establishing, by the modem system, a second PDU session based on URSP rule information by interacting with the network device,
storing a second session parameter of the second PDU session, wherein the second PDU session corresponds to an application corresponding to a second URSP rule parameter with a highest precedence or a default URSP rule parameter in the URSP rule information;
sending, by the modem system, a second notification message to an application platform of the terminal device indicating that the second PDU session is successfully established, wherein the second notification message comprises a second interface name and the second session parameter of the second PDU session;
adding, by the application platform, the second interface name of the second PDU session to the routing table based on the second notification message;
establishing a second mapping relationship between the second session parameter and the second interface name; and
adding the second mapping relationship to the mapping table.

10. The data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein before routing the to-be-transmitted data of the started application to the first PDU session, the data transmission method further comprises determining that networking function creation from the started application succeeds.

11. The data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein before obtaining the URSP rule parameter, the data transmission method further comprises:
receiving a networking function creation request from the started application;
obtaining the first interface name of the first PDU session from the mapping table; and
determining that the networking function creation request has succeeded.

12. The data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein after adding the second mapping relationship to the mapping table, the data transmission method further comprises:
receiving a networking function creation request from the started application;
obtaining the first interface name of the first PDU session from the mapping table; and
determining that the networking function creation succeeds.

13. The data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the first session parameter includes one of a network slice selection, a session continuity (SSC) mode selection, a data network name (DNN) selection, or an a
