Claim 11:
12. A network device, comprising:
a processor,
a memory and at least one network interface, which are coupled together by a bus system, the memory is configured to store a computer program which is runnable on the processor, when running the computer program, the processor is configured to:
receive a switching time capability sent by a terminal device,
wherein the switching time capability is used by the network device to perform a data scheduling on the terminal device for uplink transmission channels;
wherein the terminal device supports dual connection (DC), and the switching time capability comprises: switching time from a first network to a second network for the terminal device, and/or switching time from the second network to the first network for the terminal device; wherein one of the first network and the second network is Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) network and the other is New Radio (NR) network; wherein no data is transmitted by the terminal device within the switching time,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine time domain positions of the switching time sent by the network device
wherein the time domain positions of the switching time are all located in the second network.
