1. A method performed by a terrestrial platform supporting a first wireless-communication network, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment that is in a first connected mode with the terrestrial platform, a message that indicates an upcoming transmission of data from the user equipment;
assessing, based on contents of the message, that:
the first wireless-communication network has a first quality of service that is suitable for transmitting a first subset of the data; and
a second wireless-communication network has a second quality of service that is suitable for transmitting a second subset of the data; and

transmitting, to the user equipment, a routing command message that directs the user equipment to:
enter a second connected mode with a non-terrestrial platform supporting the second wireless-communication network while maintaining the first connected mode with the terrestrial platform;
transmit the first subset of the data to the terrestrial platform supporting the first wireless-communication network; and
transmit the second subset of the data to the non-terrestrial platform supporting the second wireless-communication network.
