    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and an apparatus, to ensure a multicast service data packet transmission security requirement. An access device may determine a user plane security active state of a multicast DRB in a PDU session, and indicate the user plane security active state of the multicast DRB to a terminal, where the user plane security active state includes whether integrity protection is activated and/or whether confidentiality protection is activated. In addition, the access device configures a multicast PDCP layer entity based on the user plane security active state of the DRB for transmitting multicast service data. The access device may further determine a user plane security active state of a unicast DRB, indicate the user plane security active state to the terminal, and modify a unicast PDCP layer entity.

    Abstract: A method for determining a user plane security algorithm, a system, and an apparatus. The method may include: a second device selects a non-null user plane confidentiality protection algorithm based on a security capability of a first device and a security capability of the second device in a case in which user plane confidentiality protection between the second device and the first device is enabled and control plane confidentiality protection between the second device and the first device is not enabled. The second device sends a first message to the first device. The first message includes first algorithm indication information indicating the user plane confidentiality protection algorithm. Therefore, the first device can obtain the non-null user plane confidentiality protection algorithm. Embodiments can be adopted to determine an effective user plane confidentiality protection algorithm, for confidentiality protecting user plane data.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides a method including: A session management network element receives a session establishment request message from a terminal device, where the session establishment request message is used to request to establish a session with a data network. The session management network element determines whether an authentication result of authentication and/or authorization by the data network on the terminal device exists. When determining that the authentication result exists, the session management network element does not initiate a secondary authentication procedure for the session, in other words, skips the secondary authentication procedure. In this disclosure, the session management network element may determine, based on that the data network has authenticated the terminal device, to skip the secondary authentication procedure.

    Abstract: A method for obtaining an identifier of a terminal device includes a key management network element receiving, from a first terminal device, a first key request including a first identifier, where the first identifier is an anonymous identifier or a temporary identifier of a second terminal device. The key management network element sends, to a unified data management network element, a first request including the first identifier. The unified data management network element determines a SUPI of the second terminal device based on the first identifier, and sends, to the key management network element, a first response including the SUPI. In response to an authorization check performed on the second terminal device based on the SUPI succeeds, the key management network element sends a first key response to the first terminal device, where the first key response includes a secure communication parameter.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an AMBR control method, device, and system, so that a quality of service (QoS) control mechanism can be used to control use of resources in a network slice by a terminal device. The method includes: a mobility management network element obtaining M pieces of single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) corresponding to a terminal device and a first slice-AMBR corresponding to each piece of S-NSSAI in the M pieces of S-NSSAI; and sending the M pieces of S-NSSAI and the first slice-AMBR corresponding to each piece of S-NSSAI to an access network device, where the first slice-AMBR corresponding to each piece of S-NSSAI is used to determine a second slice-AMBR corresponding to the S-NSSAI, and the second slice-AMBR corresponding to each piece of S-NSSAI is used to control an aggregate bit rate of non-guaranteed bit rate non-GBR QoS flows in a network slice indicated by the S-NSSAI.

    Abstract: This application provides a network node selection method and apparatus. An SMF network element obtains transmission capability information of an access network device, and selects, for a terminal device based on the transmission capability information of the access network device, a UPF network element that supports at least one transmission capability included in the transmission capability information. In this process, the SMF network element obtains a transmission capability of the access network device, and selects the UPF network element based on the transmission capability of the access network device. The selected UPF network element supports the transmission capability used by the access network device, so that data can be successfully transmitted between the access network device and the UPF network element. Therefore, a data transmission success rate is improved.
