This application provides a communication method and a communication system. A central unit (CU) obtains a quality of service (QoS) parameter of a QoS data flow and performs mapping the QoS data flow to a bearer based on the QoS parameter of the QoS data flow. The CU determines a QoS parameter of the bearer based on the QoS parameter of the QoS data flow and sends a context setup request message to a distributed unit (DU), wherein the context setup request message comprises the QoS parameter of the bearer, the QoS parameter of the QoS data flow and the mapping relationship between the QoS data flow and the bearer.

Communication method, apparatus, and system based on a CU-DU architecture

The disclosure provides data transmission methods and apparatuses. One example method includes when the terminal device needs to perform the cross-network movement, the terminal device sends a message to a network element of a network accessed by the terminal device, to notify that the terminal device is to perform the cross-network movement from a source network to a target network. Therefore, during the movement of the terminal device, a network side pauses transmission of user plane data of the terminal device, and buffers data that is not sent before the terminal device performs the cross-network movement. After accessing the target network, the network side sends the buffered data to the terminal device.
