As shown in fig. 2, only one of the nodes connected to the terminal includes the PDCP layer corresponding to the bearers for offloading, and none of the other nodes includes the PDCP layer corresponding to the bearers for offloading.

In some exemplary embodiments, the uplink transmission delay refers to a one-way or loopback delay of a PDCP layer and a Radio Link protocol (RLC) layer of a node connected to the terminal for a service packet. The loopback delay refers to the sum of the delay of the service message transmitted from the PDCP layer to the RLC layer and the delay of the service message transmitted from the RLC layer to the PDCP layer.
The uplink channel quality is a measurement mode for detecting an uplink effective signal by a node connected with a terminal, and the larger the uplink channel quality value is, the more the uplink effective signal is.

The packet loss rate is the proportion of the number of lost packets in the transmission data.
The first node can directly obtain the uplink transmission delay of the first node, and the second node needs the PDCP layer corresponding to the shunt bearer of the first node to send a first data packet with a first time stamp to the RLC layer corresponding to the shunt bearer of the second node; the first timestamp is the time when the first node sends the first data packet; the RLC layer corresponding to the shunt bearer of the second node returns a second data packet with a second timestamp to the PDCP layer corresponding to the shunt bearer of the first node; the second timestamp is the time when the second node receives the first data packet; when a PDCP layer corresponding to the shunt bearer of the first node receives the second data packet, recording the time of receiving the second data packet, namely a third timestamp; and the first node calculates the uplink transmission time delay of the second node according to the first time stamp, the second time stamp and the third time stamp.
Specifically, the time delay from the PDCP layer to the RLC layer is the difference between the second time stamp and the first time stamp; a delay of transmission from the RLC layer to the PDCP layer is a difference between the third time stamp and the second time stamp; the round trip delay is the difference between the third timestamp and the first timestamp.

In an initial state, a Non-independent Networking (NSA) terminal is in a central area of a signal coverage area of the gNB, and an initial traffic configuration Primary Path (Primary Path) is a Path between the NSA terminal and the gNB.
