    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for determining location information are provided. In one aspect, a method includes: sending, by a terminal device, first location information to a first core network element via a non-third-generation partner project (non-3GPP) access network element, and receiving, by the terminal device via the non-3GPP access network element, second location information of the terminal device sent by the first core network element. The first core network element is configured to determine the second location information based on the first location information. The second location information corresponds to a 3GPP network.

    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a policy update method and apparatus. The method includes obtaining, by a policy control network element, updated policy information of a local area data network (LADN), and sending, by the policy control network element, the updated policy information and instruction information to an access and mobility management network element. The instruction information is used to instruct the access and mobility management network element to regionally update the updated policy information. According to the embodiments of this application, signaling overheads of the LADN in a policy update process are reduced.

    Abstract: A network slice instance management method is provided, which includes: sending, by a network manager, a first configuration request to a first element manager, where the first configuration request includes one or more of description information of a second network slice instance subnet, description information of a to-be-created network slice instance, or description information of a first network slice instance subnet; receiving a configuration response message sent by the first element manager; sending an association request to a second element manager, where the association request includes the description information of the to-be-created network slice instance; and receiving an association response message sent by the second element manager, where the association response message is used to indicate that the second network slice instance subnet has served the to-be-created network slice instance. Thus, at least two network slice instance subnets may be associated, to constitute a complete network slice instance.
