According to the embodiments of the present invention, the mobility management network element executes a service restoration process, thereby ensuring normal operation of a service.
Abstract:
A positioning method includes receiving, by a terminal device, a first message from a location management network element by a session. The first message is useable to request location information of the terminal device. The positioning method further includes sending, by the terminal device, the first message to an access network device. The positioning method further includes receiving, by the terminal device, the location information of the terminal device from the access network device. The positioning method further includes sending, by the terminal device, the location information of the terminal device to the location management network element by the session.
Abstract:
Embodiments of this application disclose a method and a device therefor, applied to a scenario of Ethernet packet transmission. In an example method, a first device receives a first packet. Load data in the first packet includes padding redundant data. The first device deletes the padding redundant data. The first device generates a second packet. Load data in the second packet is payload data obtained after the padding redundant data is deleted from the first packet. The first device sends the second packet to a second device.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining an IP address of a terminal device comprising: an application function network element sends a first event registration request to a capability exposure network element, where the first event registration request is used to request to obtain, from the capability exposure network element, an IP address of a terminal device in a group, the application function network element receives a first event notification message from the capability exposure network element, where the first event notification message includes an IP address of a first terminal device in the group.
Abstract:
This application provides example rule processing methods. One example method includes receiving, by a user plane function node, a first data packet. The user lane function node can then perform rule matching on the first data packet to obtain a first predefined rule. In response to determining that no quality of service (QoS) flow meets the first predefined rule, the user lane function node can then send a first message to a session management function node, where the first message includes information about the first predefined rule. The user lane function node can then receive rule update information sent by the session management function node, where the rule update information includes an identifier of a first QoS flow, and where the first QoS flow meets the first predefined rule.
Abstract:
This application provides a method and an apparatus for determining an ethernet MAC address. The method includes: receiving, by a first network device, a first ethernet MAC address from a terminal; and determining, by the first network device, whether the first ethernet MAC address can uniquely identify the terminal or a PDU session of the terminal within a global network range, and sending indication information to the terminal based on a determining result, where the indication information is used to determine a source MAC address of a packet sent by the terminal, and the source MAC address is an ethernet MAC address that can uniquely identify the terminal or the PDU session of the terminal within the global network range.
