COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18342185 Titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for communication. In this method, a first access network device sends configuration information to a terminal. The first access network device is connected to a first core network device, which uses either a first or second communication standard. The configuration information includes status indication information of a first protocol layer (such as SDAP) of the second communication standard. This status indication information instructs the terminal to either perform or not perform a function of the first protocol layer. The first access network device determines the state of the first protocol layer based on the protocol layer specified in the communication standard of the core network device.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to communication methods and apparatuses. In one example method, a first access network device determines configuration information, and sends the configuration information to a terminal. The first access network device is connected to a first core network device, and the first core network device uses a first or second communication standard. The configuration information includes status indication information of a first protocol layer (for example, a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer) of the second communication standard, and the status indication information indicates the terminal to perform or not to perform a function of the first protocol layer. The first access network device determines a state of the first protocol layer based on a protocol layer specified in a communication standard of the core network device.
