Abstract
Disclosed by the present invention are a communication method and device, wherein the method comprises: a first user plane function (UPF) network element establishing a secondary user plane channel to a secondary radio access network (RAN) network element; the first UPF network element receiving downlink data sent by a data network, and from within said downlink data, sending downlink data that requires distribution to the secondary user plane channel on the basis of data flow information to be distributed, wherein the data flow information to be distributed is stored in the first UPF network element so as to carry out the distribution of data in a 5G system, thus increasing the utilization of radio resources, reducing the delay in switching systems and improving user and system performances.
