    摘要: The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a data transmission method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The method comprises: when a user terminal using a control plane transmission mode is in an idle state, determining whether the user terminal needs to be converted from the control plane transmission mode to a user plane transmission mode; and if it is determined that the user terminal needs to be converted to the user plane transmission mode, initiating a service request process to a network side so as to convert same to the user plane transmission mode for data transmission. By means of the embodiments of the present application, when a narrow band Internet of things user using a control plane transmission mode enters an idle state, and when it is foreseen that a big data packet needs to be transmitted next, data transmission can be performed by directly converting the idle state to a user plane transmission mode, so that the conversion of a data transmission process can be reduced, thereby saving system signaling overheads, and reducing packet loss and disorder.
