The first signaling bearer configuration information includes at least one of the following information:
a first signaling bearer identifier, a Media Access Control layer configuration parameter used by the distributed unit to establish the first signaling bearer, a physical layer configuration parameter used by the distributed unit to establish the first signaling bearer, a logical channel configuration parameter used by the distributed unit to establish the first signaling bearer, and first signaling bearer user plane transmission path establishment information on a centralized unit side.
In an optional implementation, the first signaling bearer configuration information may be carried in the foregoing second message for sending. To be specific, when sending the second message to the distributed unit, the centralized unit includes the first signaling bearer configuration information into the second message, and sends the second message to the distributed unit.
In another optional implementation, the first signaling bearer configuration information may also be sent through another control plane message. For example, before sending the second message or after sending the second message, the centralized unit sends a control plane message to the distributed unit, where the control plane message carries the first signaling bearer configuration information.
Correspondingly, in the foregoing process, the distributed unit may further send first signaling bearer user plane transmission path establishment information on a distributed unit side to the centralized unit.
