Abstract:
Embodiments of this application provide example communication methods and example devices. One example method includes sending, by a first access network device, a system information block to a terminal device, where the system information block includes first information indicating that a cell served by the first access network device supports non-public network (NPN) onboarding, where the first information includes second information indicating a supported onboarding NPN, and the second information includes at least one of information about an identifier of the supported onboarding NPN or first indication information, where the first indication information indicates a support of onboarding. The first access network device can then receive a radio resource control (RRC) setup complete message from the terminal device, where the RRC setup complete message indicates that the terminal device requests NPN onboarding.
Abstract:
A network access method and apparatus for improving network access accuracy of a terminal device are disclosed. A first network element (for example, an access management network element (for example, access and mobility management function (AMF) network element or a mobility management entity (MME) network element) or a unified data management (UDM) network element) obtains an access request including access location information of a first terminal device; obtains subscription information including subscription location information of the first terminal device; in response to confirming that the access location information of the first terminal device does not belong to the subscription location information, obtains permission information for permitting the first terminal device to access a network at an access location corresponding to the access location information; and permits, based on the permission message, the first terminal device to access the network at the access location corresponding to the access location information.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides service processing methods. One example method includes that a first network element sends a first message to a second network element, where the first message is used to request to obtain location information of a terminal device. The first network element obtains the location information from the second network element, then the first network element determines, based on the location information, whether the terminal device is located in a first non-restricted area. The first network element allows the terminal device to obtain a service if the terminal device is located in the first non-restricted area or the first network element disallows the terminal device to obtain a service if the terminal device is not located in the first non-restricted area.
Abstract:
This application provides a network handover method and an apparatus. Before a terminal device is handed over from a first network to a second network, the terminal device sets up a first tunnel to a first interworking device, where a communication identifier, of the terminal device, in the first tunnel is a first identifier the first identifier is an identifier used in the first network by the terminal device, and the first interworking device is an interface device in the first network and oriented toward a network other than the first network. After the terminal device is handed over from the first network to the second network, the terminal device sends an update request to the first interworking device, where the update request request to update the communication identifier to a second identifier, and the second identifier is an identifier used in the second network by the terminal device.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to handover methods, apparatus, and communications systems. One example method includes sending, by a source access point device, a first message to a target access point device through an access control device, and sending a second message to a terminal device, where the first message is used to notify the target access point device that the terminal device is prepared to be handed over to the target access point device, arid the second message is used to instruct the terminal device to be handed over to the target access point device.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for determining a status of a terminal device, and a device are disclosed. The method includes: obtaining, by an access and mobility management network element, an access type used by the terminal device to access a network, where the access type includes at least one of 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and non-3GPP access; and determining, by the access and mobility management network element based on a status of the terminal device in the access type, the status of the terminal device, where the status of the terminal device includes at least one of a loss-of-connectivity state and an available-to-connectivity state. By using the method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, accuracy of determining the status of the terminal device is improved.
Abstract:
This embodiments of the application provides a redirection method and a control plane network element to quickly obtain the content requested by a terminal device. The method may include obtaining, by a control plane network element, a content transmission request sent from a content server; determining, by the control plane network element based on the content transmission request, a cache node configured to store to-be-transmitted content and an aggregation user plane network element associated with the cache node. The method may also include sending, by the control plane network element, a traffic flow matching parameter to the aggregation user plane network element, where the traffic flow matching parameter is used to match a traffic flow of the to-be-transmitted content and determine a connection used to transmit a matched traffic flow.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a mobile switching center and a system for returning to a long term evolution network, which may prevent a UE which does not need to return to the LTE network from mistakenly returning to the LTE network. The method includes: receiving a first CSFB indication corresponding to a UE that is sent by a MME after the UE initiates CSFB, wherein the first CSFB indication is used for identifying that the UE needs to return to a LTE network after circuit service of the UE is finished; and sending, according to the first CSFB indication, a second CSFB indication corresponding to the UE to an RNC/BSC when the circuit service of the UE is finished, wherein the second CSFB indication is used for indicating that the RNC/BSC is to notify the UE of returning to the LTE network.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, device, and system for scheduling a data flow, which are used to improve the processing efficiency. A network side device marks a priority of a subsequent uplink and/or downlink data flow of a UE corresponding to a downlink data packet in the downlink data packet, and enables a downstream node to schedule an access network resource or air interface resource according to the priority. Therefore, a bearer does not need to be modified during the process of distinguishing different service flows and performing differentiation scheduling on different service flows, thereby reducing the workload and improving the processing efficiency.
Abstract:
A method for a user equipment UE to access an evolved packet core network EPC includes: receiving, by an EPC access gateway connecting a wireless local area network WLAN to an EPC, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP request from the UE; and obtaining, by the EPC access gateway, subscription data of the UE according to a media access control MAC address of the UE in the DHCP request, and performing EPC access processing for the UE according to the obtained subscription data, where the obtaining subscription data of the UE according to a MAC address of the UE includes: obtaining the subscription data of the UE according to the MAC address of the UE and the MAC address of the UE and the subscription data of the UE that are correspondingly stored by a network device in an access authentication process.
