    Abstract: A data buffering method including: a session management function (SMF) interacting with a first user plane function (UPF1) and a second UPF2, such that the UPF1 sends first downlink data of a first session to an access network device via UPF2, where UPF1 is an anchor of the first session; and the SMS releasing UPF2 in a procedure in which a terminal device enters an idle state and a transmission resource associated with the first session in an access network is released, where UPF1 buffers incoming second downlink data of the first session. After the terminal device is switched to a connected state, both a transmission path of incoming third downlink data of the first session and that of the buffered second downlink data pass through UPF1, UPF3, the access network device, and the terminal device successively.

    Abstract: In a session management method, when a first access and mobility management function (AMF) network element serving a terminal becomes unavailable, a service management function (SMF) network element obtains a pool identifier of an AMF pool that includes the first AMF, and queries a network repository function (NRF) entity to obtain the address or identifier of a second AMF in the same AMF pool. The SMF then triggers the second AMF network element to obtain a context of the terminal from a unstructured data storage function (UDSF) entity.
