  • Publication number: 20170238338
    Abstract: A data transmission method and device, related to the communications field, are disclosed, so as to resolve a prior-art problem that a data decoding error occurs on user equipment because data packets sent by different coordinated network devices to the same user equipment on a same time-frequency resource are different resulting from a data packet loss. A specific solution is: receiving a scheduling grant message (201), where the scheduling grant message includes an identifier of a data packet and time-frequency resource information; and when it is determined, according to the identifier of the data packet, that the data packet is stored in a buffer, sending, according to the time-frequency resource information, the data packet to user equipment on a time-frequency resource indicated by the time-frequency resource information (203); or if the data packet is not stored in a buffer, skipping sending the data packet (204).

  • Publication number: 20170111280
    Abstract: The present disclosure provide a data transmission method, including: receiving, by a central processing node, downlink user data from a first gateway GW; sending, by the central processing node, the downlink user data to a corresponding base station; and when it is determined that an interface between the central processing node and the first GW is congested, sending, by the central processing node, a first bearer switching request message to the first GW, where the first bearer switching request message is used to instruct the first GW to bypass the central processing node when transmitting data. In the embodiments of the present invention, when determining that an interface between a central processing node and a first GW is congested, the central processing node sends a first bearer switching request message to the first GW, so that the first GW transmits downlink user data with the central processing node bypassed.

  • Publication number: 20170041180
    Abstract: The present invention disclosure provides a data processing method and apparatus, and a control method and apparatus, so as to resolve a technical problem that a data processing manner existing in the prior art cannot meet a requirement of a new processing procedure. A data processing apparatus may determine a specific processing action sequence for communication data according to a filter template sent by a control apparatus and a feature of the communication data. Therefore, for different communication data, the data processing apparatus can determine different processing action sequences. In addition, when a new service emerges and a new data processing procedure is required, because the data processing apparatus and the control apparatus are separate from each other, only the control apparatus needs to be adjusted and the data processing apparatus does not need to be adjusted.
