For example, an unavatable branch is introduced into the CHOICE structure, and the corresponding signaling (change is shown below. When the value of burst arrival time is unavatable, the second information of the corresponding QoS flow is not available.

In one possible implementation, the first value is carried in a CHOICE structure of third information included in the second information field; the third information is referred to as reference SFN-AndSlot-r18. Next, the first value is unavailable. For example, a CHOICE structure is introduced in IE reference SFN-AndSlot-r18, and the unavailable branch indicates that the second information of the corresponding QoS flow is not available. The corresponding signaling is shown below.

Optionally, the first value is set in a third information field comprised by the second information, indicating that the second information is not available. Optionally, the second information comprises a third information field, and the third information field comprises the first value indicating that the second information is not available, the third information field being for indicating the data period. For example, the third information field refers to a trafficability, that is, second information indicating QoS flow is not available by introducing an unavailability in the trafficability.

That is, the first information is used to indicate that the second information of the QoS flow indicated by the third information is not available. For example, the third information is a QFI identifier, that is to say, the second information indicates that the second information of the QoS flow corresponding to the QFI identifier is not available by carrying the first value in the second information.

It should be noted that the foregoing embodiment is described in a manner that the second information is indicated as not being usable in a manner that the first value is carried in the second information. Next, the manner of adding the information field to the first information indicates that the second information is not available.

In some embodiments, the first information includes a fourth information field for indicating that the second information of the QoS flow included in the first information is not available.

Optionally, the fourth information field refers to trafficinfoavanailable (transmission information is not available).

Optionally, the fourth information field in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to the newly introduced information field in the IE QOS-FlowUL-TrafficInfo-r18 (network quality of service flow uplink transmission information-r 18). Optionally, the IE QOS-FlowUL-TrafficInfo-r18 is carried in the first information. It will also be appreciated that the present disclosure is a new introduction of a trafficInfoUnavailable information field in the IE QOS-FlowUL-TrafficInfo-r18, by which the second information is indicated as unavailable.

In one possible implementation, if the IE QOS-FlowUL-TrafficInfo-r18 includes a trafficinfoavanailable information field, it is indicated that the second information is not available. In one possible implementation, the IE QOS-FlowUL-TrafficInfo-r18 includes a trafficinfoavanailable information field that is a preset number of bits, and if the bits of the trafficinfoavanailable information field are a first value, it indicates that the second information is not available. If the bit of the trafficInfoUna available information field is the second value, it is indicated that the second information is available. For example, if the predetermined number of bits is 1, the first value is 0 and the second value is 1.
