A data transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: a source access network device that receives an end marker from a core network device through a transmission tunnel of a PDU session of a first terminal device, where the PDU session is associated with a first multicast/broadcast service; and in response to the end marker, the source access network device determines, based on the association between the PDU session and the first multicast/broadcast service, that the end marker acts on the first multicast/broadcast service of the first terminal device, to stop sending data of the first multicast/broadcast service to a target access network device through a forwarding tunnel of the first terminal device.

In an example, a wired network device receives a first join message originating from a client device associated with a first wireless access point (WAP) connected to another wired network device in a broadcast domain. An entry corresponding to the client device is created in a remote receiver record of the wired network device. In response to the client device transitioning from the first WAP to a second WAP connected to the wired network device, it is determined that the client device is locally connected to the wired network device. Intention of the client device to receive multicast traffic is identified. A second join message directed to the network address of the multicast group and distributed in the broadcast domain. A traffic flow path for the multicast traffic via the wired network device and the second WAP to the client device is configured.

The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique merging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail, security- and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. Disclosed in the present invention is a method for structuring or setting a multicast bearer or unicast bearer supporting an MBS service so as to support the MBS service in a next-generation mobile communication system, and a method for processing data of a PHY layer device, MAC layer device, RLC layer device or PDCP layer device receiving and processing MBS data.

The present disclosure provides a method and device for wireless communications, comprising receiving a first service through a first radio bearer; receiving a first signaling, transmitting a first report; and receiving the first service through at least a latter of the first radio bearer and the second radio bearer; wherein when a first condition is satisfied, the first report is transmitted; the first condition comprises that a reception of the first service is modified from the first radio bearer to the second radio bearer; a bearer type of the first radio bearer is different from a bearer type of the second radio bearer, and the bearer type comprises a non-unicast bearer and a unicast bearer. By reasonably determining a radio bearer and transmitting a first report, the present disclosure reduces packet missing rate and interruption and improves reliability.

A transmission tunnel changing method, an access network device, and a core network device are provided. The transmission tunnel changing method is performed by a base station, and the method includes: establishing multiple transmission tunnels for one target service; receiving data of the target service by using a source transmission tunnel, where the source transmission tunnel is one of the multiple transmission tunnels; receiving a transmission tunnel change instruction, where the transmission tunnel change instruction is used to instruct to change data transmission of the target service from the source transmission tunnel to a target transmission tunnel, and the target transmission tunnel is one of the multiple transmission tunnels; and receiving the data of the target service from the target transmission tunnel.

The present disclosure provides a mobility management method, a source base station, a target base station, and a terminal device. The method includes: receiving a report message from a terminal device, where the terminal device is a terminal device that receives data of a first multicast service, and the report message includes a measurement result; and transmitting a handover command to the terminal device, where the handover command is used to instruct the terminal device to switch to a target base station, and the target base station is determined based on the measurement result.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may receive signaling indicating a set of multicast configurations for a set of multicast modes supported by the UE. Each multicast mode of the set of multicast modes may be associated with one or more radio resource control (RRC) states. The UE may determine a multicast configuration of the set of multicast configurations based on an RRC state according to which the UE is operating. The UE may receive, while operating according to the RRC state, multicast data according to the determined multicast configuration.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for changing MRB ID without requiring release and add functions. One method may include receiving, by a user equipment, a RRC reconfiguration message from a network entity comprising a MRB. The MRB is identified by a first MRB ID, and the RRC reconfiguration message further comprises a second MRB ID associated with the first MRB ID. The user equipment associates the MRB with the second MRB ID configured for subsequent identification of the MRB. The user equipment receives MBS data through the MRB associated with the second MRB ID.

A user equipment (UE) may transmit, using a first radio access technology (RAT), a service request message including information associated with at least one UE service. Based on the transmitted service request message, a message with information to setup a bearer for a second RAT, wherein the second RAT is a different RAT than the first RAT. The UE may receive multimedia data using the second RAT and simultaneously receive data using the first RAT.

A data transmission method, electronic device and computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: acquiring a first data packet to be sent; determining a first data stream to which the first data packet belongs; detecting a link state of the first data stream; when the link state of the first data stream is an establishing state, and the first data packet is sent for the first time, selecting a first wireless communication link from the plurality of wireless communication links for the first data packet, and marking the first data packet according to a first link identifier of the first wireless communication link; and sending the first data packet through a network interface of the first wireless communication link according to the first link identifier.
