Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de routage de flux de trafic. Lorsque le procédé est appliqué à un UE, l'UE prend en charge la transmission de données de trafic dans un premier mode d'accès et dans un second mode d'accès. Si l'UE détecte qu'un sous-flux du second mode d'accès peut satisfaire une demande de transmission pour le trafic, alors l'UE ajuste un sous-flux du premier mode d'accès de sorte que celui-ci se trouve dans un état de repos, et l'UE envoie un premier message d'indication à un serveur, le premier message d'indication étant utilisé pour indiquer au serveur que l'UE a ajusté le sous-flux du premier mode d'accès de sorte que celui-ci se trouve dans l'état de repos; et l'UE reçoit des données transmises par le serveur au moyen du sous-flux du second mode d'accès. Dans la solution, un premier message d'indication est envoyé à un serveur par l'intermédiaire d'un UE de façon à l'informer d'une indication de mise à jour d'état, par l'UE, pour un sous-flux d'un mode d'accès, et le serveur est informé d'un sous-flux dont le mode d'accès est utilisé pour envoyer des données de trafic, c'est-à-dire que le serveur reçoit l'instruction d'effectuer une politique de routage. Il est garanti qu'un certain côté d'accès peut entrer dans un mode de repos sans fermer un sous-flux, évitant ainsi le gaspillage de ressources.
