  • Patent number: 10911978
    Abstract: A data transmission method, a device, and a communications system are described. The method includes generating, by a terminal device, first indication information. The first indication information is used to indicate logical channel groups having to-be-sent data and amount of to-be-sent data on part of the logical channel groups having to-be-sent data. The method includes sending, by the terminal device, the first indication information. According to the data transmission method, the device, and the communications system provided in the described embodiments, when a current quantity idle bits in a MAC PDU is insufficient, the terminal device may indicate, to a network device by using the first indication information, the LCGs having to-be-sent data on the terminal device. In this way, uplink transmission resource allocation improved efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10863569
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data transmission method, user equipment, and an access network device. UE transmits air interface data to an access network device by using a serving cell set including at least two core serving cells that can independently serve the UE to transmit data, and initiates an RRC connection re-establishment process to the access network device only when detecting that all core serving cells in the serving cell set are unavailable. Data transmission is performed by using an available serving cell to the greatest extent. In other words, data transmission can be performed by using any available core serving cell, to reduce the dependence of data transmission between serving cells and minimize possibility of data transmission interruption, thereby improving data transmission robustness.
