为便于理解本申请实施例，首先以图1中示出的通信系统为例详细说明适用于本申请实施例的通信系统。示例性地，图1为本申请实施例提供的通信方法所适用的一种通信系统的架构示意图。
图1为针对5G媒体流(5G media streaming，5GMS)业务的5G媒体流架构。
如图1所示，5GMS架构包括但不限于如下一项或多项：5GMS应用(5GMS-aware application)、5GMS客户端(5GMS client)、5GMS应用功能(5GMS application function，5GMS AF)网元、和5GMS应用提供商(5GMS application provider，5GMS AP)。可选地，5GMS架构还可以包括如下一项或多项：5GMS应用服务器(5GMS application server，5GMS AS)、网络开放功能(network exposure function，NEF)网元、和策略控制功能(policy control function，PCF)网元。5GMS应用提供商可以称为5GMS应用服务提供商(5GMS application service provider，5GMS ASP)，本申请以5GMS应用提供商为例进行阐述。
其中，数据网络(data network，DN)指的是为终端设备提供数据传输服务的运营商网络，例如，DN可以包括但不限于如下一项或多项：5GMS AF网元、5GMS AS网元和5GMS AP。
其中，5GMS应用可以认为是终端设备侧的应用。5GMS应用可称为5GMS应用实体、应用实体、或5GMS App等，5GMS客户端可以称为5GMS终端、5GMS终端实体、或5GMS客户端实体等。如图1所示，终端设备可以包括：5GMS应用实体和5GMS客户端实体。5GMS客户端实体可以包括媒体会话处理(media session handler,MSH)实体、媒体流处理(media stream handler，MSH)实体。可选地，对于下行媒体流业务，媒体流处理实体也可以称为媒体播放器(media player，MP)。

其中，NEF网元与PCF网元是5G架构(如图3所示)中的网元。5GMS AF网元可通过应用编程接口(例如N33接口、N5接口)实现与5G网络的交互。
5GMS应用提供商主要是终端设备的5GMS应用的内容提供服务器。5GMS应用提供商以及5GMS应用实体可以是由应用服务厂商自行部署的，可以通过应用编程接口(例如M8接口)进行通信。
5GMS AF与5GMS AS之间可通过应用编程接口(例如M3接口)通信，当5GMS AF与5GMS AS在外部非信任区域时，该应用编程接口取决于第三方提供商。其中，5GMS AF自身也是3GPP所定义AF的一种，旨在实现5GMS应用提供商与3GPP网络之间的信息交互，如能力开放或参数提供等，该5GMS AF是专属媒体流业务的AF。5GMS AS可以是移动网络运营商(mobile network operator，MNO)部署与管控，也可以是外部第三方应用提供的，作为一个媒体流应用服务器，比如类似于一个内容分发网络服务器(Content Delivery Network,CDN)。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以为具有无线收发功能的终端或可设置于该终端的芯片或芯片系统。该终端设备也可以称为用户设备(user equipment，UE)、用户装置、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台(mobile station，MS)、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、终端单元、终端站、终端装置、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。

图2为本申请实施例提供的另一种通信系统的架构示意图。图2是面向下行媒体流业务的5G媒体流架构，可应用于终端设备通过直播或点播的方式选择某一个媒体流进行播放的场景。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例提供的通信方法适用于上行通信场景和下行通信场景，以下行通信场景为例进行阐述。
如图2所示，终端设备侧可以包括诸多的子功能，例如，媒体会话处理MSH模块可支持但不限于如下一个或多个子模块功能：核心功能(core function)、参数收集与上报(metrics collection and reporting)、用量收集与上报(consumption collection and reporting)、和网络辅助(network assistance)与服务质量(quality of service，QoS)调整。
其中，核心功能子模块可实现会话建立、管理、控制的核心功能。参数收集与上报子模块可对终端设备侧进行参数收集与上报配置，从而实现终端设备侧参数收集与上报。用量收集与上报子模块可对终端设备侧媒体流业务的用量信息进行收集配置，并根据配置信息上报至5GMS AF侧。网络辅助与QoS调整子模块可通过5GMS AF与网络交互、或者直接与RAN交互，向网络侧请求对应策略调整(如QoS调整)以及网络辅助。
例如，媒体流处理模块可作为一个媒体访问终端设备(如超文本传输协议动态自适应流媒(dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol，DASH)终端设备)，可支持但不限于如下一个或多个子模块功能：媒体数据解密、用量策略与日志记录、数字版权管理(digital rights management,DRM)客户端、媒体数据解码、和媒体显示与渲染。
示例性地，5GMS应用提供商可以创建业务开通(service provisioning)会话，将相关的特性，如参数收集与上报特性发送给5GMS AF。5GMS AF根据5GMS应用提供商发送的特性信息，确定服务访问信息(service access information，SAI)，并将该SAI或者其索引信息返回给5GMS应用提供商。当终端设备开始媒体流业务时，终端设备会通过M8或M5接口获取该SAI，并根据SAI中的特性进行配置与执行，如5GMS终端设备会根据获取到的SAI中的相应子功能配置特性。
以参数收集特性为例，当5GMS客户端获取SAI后，根据SAI中的配置信息配置媒体流处理实体进行参数收集，获得参数收集信息，配置媒体流处理实体根据配置中的上报周期将参数收集信息发往媒体会话处理实体MSH，MSH将参数收集信息通过M5接口发送给5GMS AF，从而完成终端设备侧的参数收集。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中的5GMS网元可以为5GMSd(5G media streaming download，5GMSd)网元，针对下行媒体流业务。本申请实施例中的 5GMS网元可以为数据收集(data collection，DC)网元，针对通用的数据收集，不仅仅局限于媒体流业务。例如，5GMS客户端可以为DC客户端，5GMS AF网元可以为DC AF网元。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例提供的通信方法，可以适用于图1或图2所示的终端设备、5GMS应用提供商、5GMS AF之间，具体实现可以参考下述方法实施例，此处不再赘述。

5G系统分为接入网和核心网两部分。接入网用于实现无线接入有关的功能，主要包括RAN。核心网用于网络业务的控制、数据的传输等，核心网由多个网元组成，主要包括：AMF、SMF、UPF、PCF、UDM等。
图3中部分网元的功能如下：
AMF，主要负责信令处理部分，例如，管理用户注册、可达性检测、SMF的选择、移动状态转换管理等。
SMF，主要负责终端会话管理的所有控制面功能，包括控制会话的建立、修改和删除，用户面节点的选择等。
UPF，作为协议数据单元(protocol data unit，PDU)会话连接的锚定点，负责数据包路由和转发、移动性锚点、作为上行分类器来支持路由业务流到数据网络。UPF还可以作为分支点来支持多归属PDU会话等。
PCF，可作为策略决策点，负责提供基于业务数据流和应用检测、门控、QoS和基于流的计费控制等规则。
UDM，可用于存储用户签约数据。
AUSF，可提供鉴权服务。
AF，可以是应用服务器，其可以属于运营商，也可以属于第三方。主要支持与3GPP核心网交互来提供服务，来影响数据路由决策、策略控制、或者接入网能力开放等。

NRF，一种网元属性、网元状态、网络拓扑关系等信息的存储网元，其具备网元发现功能、网元管理功能。
DN，可负责提供运营商服务，互联网接入或者第三方服务。
NWDAF，具备以下至少一种功能：数据收集功能、数据分析功能。例如，可提供基于大数据和人工智能等技术的网络数据采集和分析功能。

2、直接的数据上报方式、间接的数据上报方式(indirect data reporting)
图4为本申请实施例提供的一种数据上报方式的示意图。
如图4所示，对于直接的数据上报方式，终端设备侧收集数据后将数据结果通过M5接口直接上报至(5GMS)AF侧。
对于间接的数据上报方式，终端设备不直接将数据结果发往(5GMS)AF侧，而是先通过(5GMS)应用实体发往(5GMS)应用提供商侧，再由(5GMS)应用提供商侧发往(5GMS)AF侧。
现有的5GMS架构无法支持间接的上报方式，如何增强现有的5GMS架构与流程使其支持间接数据上报方式成为亟需解决的重要问题。
本申请提供的通信方法可以增强5GMS架构与流程，从而可以支持直接与间接的数据上报方式。例如，通过增强参数收集配置生成与分发流程，确保终端设备的媒体会话处理实体将数据采集结果上报至应用实体；利用终端设备的媒体会话处理实体的API接口(例如M6)，使应用实体将来自媒体会话处理实体的数据采集结果发往应用提供商，最终确保应用提供商能够将来自应用实体的数据采集结果发往5GMS AF网元，从而实现间接数据上报。也可以针对通用的数据采集架构，从而实现通用数据采集架构的直接或间接数据上报。
下面将结合图5-图8对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行具体阐述。
示例性地，图5为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。该通信方法可以适用于图1所示的任意两个节点之间的通信。
如图5所示，该通信方法包括如下步骤：

需要说明的是，本申请实施例提供的通信方法适用于直接的数据上报方式和间接的数据上报方式，以间接的数据上报方式为例进行阐述。结合图4，例如在下行通信场景中，第一指示信息可指示数据由终端设备通过M8接口发往5GMS AP，再由5GMS AP通过M1接口发往5GMS AF网元。
如此，应用提供商接收来自终端设备的数据，可以根据间接的数据上报方式指示信息，向第一网元发送该数据，实现间接数据上报。
在一些实施例中，第一指示信息还可以包括第一地址信息。
