    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the communications field, and provide a method for determining a control plane node, an apparatus, and a wireless communications system, so as to select, for UE, a control plane node corresponding to a network slice to which the UE belongs, thereby ensuring that the control plane node can provide a customized service for the UE. The method includes: obtaining, by UE, indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate a network slice to which the UE belongs; and sending, by the UE, an access layer request message to a radio access network node, where the access layer request message includes the indication information, and the access layer request message is used to trigger the radio access network node to determine, based on the indication information, a control plane node corresponding to the network slice for the UE.

    Abstract: The present application provides a network access control method, apparatus, and device. The method includes receiving a discovery request sent by a first network function (NF) instance, where the discovery request includes an identifier of a second PLMN and an NF type of a to-be-accessed NF instance. The method further includes obtaining a to-be-accessed network slice identifier, and requesting a second network function management module (NFRF) corresponding to the identifier of the second public land mobile network (PLMN) for instance information of a second NF instance corresponding to the NF type of the to-be-accessed NF instance and the to-be-accessed network slice identifier, and sending the instance information to the first NF instance, to improve access reliability of NF instances between different PLMNs.

    Abstract: In a network function (NF) management method, a NF management device receives an NF discovery request sent by a first NF component, where the NF discovery request includes a second NF identifier that indicates a second NF. The NF management device obtains component information of a second NF component based on the second NF identifier, where the second NF component has the second NF, and the component information includes a discovery policy of the second NF component and a second NF component identifier. The NF management device determines, based on the discovery policy in the component information, that the first NF component can access the second NF component, and sends the second NF component identifier to the first NF component.

    Abstract: In a control plane connection management method, a core network function entity determines, based on a service requirement of a service, information about a first connection requirement for a control plane connection of a terminal. The first connection requirement is for activating the control plane connection between the terminal and an access and mobility management function entity. The core network entity constructs a first control plane requirement message that contains identifier information of the terminal and the information about the first connection requirement. The core network entity then sends the first control plane requirement message to the access and mobility management function entity to instruct the access and mobility management function entity to activate the control plane connection of the terminal.
