Disclosed embodiments generally relate to edge-based multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT) traffic management (TM) solutions to support delay-sensitive traffic over heterogeneous networks. Embodiments include delay-aware TM implementations that split and/or steer network traffic across different RATs for the edge network control plane. Embodiments also include utilization threshold-based implementations to achieve delay-aware multi-path TM at the network's edge. The multi-path TM includes multi-RAT, multi-access, or multi-connectivity traffic routes. Embodiments include strategies to sort users (or devices) for making multi-RAT traffic distribution decisions and to determinate the utilization thresholds. Embodiments also include message exchange mechanisms or learning utilization thresholds and other useful system properties. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Data transmission methods are provided. A data transmission method applied to a device supporting multi-link communication includes: determining channel status of at least two links in multiple links of the device; and determining whether to transmit first data on a first link of the at least two links based on the channel status of the at least two links.

Embodiments of this application disclose a packet processing method and a related device, which may be applied to a mobile communications network. A first network device generates a first packet, where a packet header of the first packet carries application information; the first network device sends the first packet to a second network device; and the second network device provides a network service based on the application information in the packet header of the first packet. Because the second network device can identify the application information in the packet header of the first packet, and provide the corresponding network service based on the application information, differentiated network services are implemented, and a fine granularity of the network services is improved.
