S907. The distributed unit sends the RRC connection establishment message to the terminal.
S908. The terminal sends a RRC connection establishment complete message to the distributed unit.
S909. The distributed unit sends the RRC connection establishment complete message to the centralized unit.
Optionally, in the foregoing process, the distributed unit may further configure a first signaling bearer. To be specific, the distributed unit may receive first signaling bearer configuration information sent by the centralized unit.
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 sixth message for sending. To be specific, when sending the sixth message to the distributed unit, the centralized unit carries the first signaling bearer configuration information into the sixth message, and sends the sixth message to the distributed unit.
