In an optional implementation, the user plane transmission path establishment information that is on the distributed unit side and that corresponds to the third signaling bearer may be sent together with the user plane transmission path establishment information that is on the distributed unit side and that corresponds to the first signaling bearer. For a specific sending manner, refer to the foregoing embodiment.
In another optional implementation, the user plane transmission path establishment information that is on the distributed unit side and that corresponds to the third signaling bearer may also be sent through another control plane message, for example, sent before or after the user plane transmission path establishment information that is on the distributed unit side and that corresponds to the first signaling bearer is sent.
Correspondingly, the third signaling bearer configuration information may also be sent together with the first signaling bearer configuration information, or may be sent through another control plane message.
Optionally, in the foregoing process, the distributed unit may further configure a data bearer.
Specifically, the centralized unit sends data bearer configuration information to the distributed unit. Correspondingly, the distributed unit sends data bearer user plane transmission path establishment information on the distributed unit side to the centralized unit.
