Abstract

Les modes de réalisation de la présente demande concernent un procédé de transmission de données et un dispositif associé, qui peuvent être appliqués dans une architecture de réseau de communication 5G. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : un élément de réseau de gestion de session acquiert des premières informations d'indication d'un premier flux de service, les premières informations d'indication comprenant un mode de division de flux du premier flux de service, et le premier flux de service étant un flux de service à débit binaire garanti (GBR) ; et l'élément de réseau de gestion de session établit, en fonction des premières informations d'indication, un premier flux de qualité de service (QoS) et/ou un second flux de QoS utilisés pour transmettre le premier flux de service. Comme l'élément de réseau de gestion de session établit deux flux de QoS pour un flux de service à l'avance, les flux de QoS établis à l'avance peuvent ainsi être appliqués directement lorsque des données de flux de service doivent être déplacées entre différents flux, et un flux de service peut être déplacé sans rétablissement de l'autre côté, ce qui permet de réduire le retard.
