The user plane transmission path establishment information on the distributed unit side includes at least one of the following information: a third signaling bearer identifier, and third signaling bearer user plane transmission path establishment information on the distributed unit side.
Correspondingly, the distributed unit receives, through the control plane connection between the distributed unit and the centralized unit, third signaling bearer configuration information sent by the centralized unit.
The third signaling bearer configuration information includes at least one of the following information: a third signaling bearer identifier, a Media Access Control layer configuration parameter used by the distributed unit to establish the third signaling bearer, a physical layer configuration parameter used by the distributed unit to establish the third signaling bearer, a logical channel configuration parameter used by the distributed unit to establish the third signaling bearer, and third signaling bearer user plane transmission path establishment information on a centralized unit side.
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.
