Abstract
Provided are a path, a path information processing method and device, a storage medium, and an electronic device. The path processing method includes: receiving, by an intermediate-session management function (I-SMF), a first message sent by an anchor-session management function (A-SMF), where the first message includes context information; and determining, by the I-SMF according to the context information, a mode corresponding to a data path established by the I-SMF and selecting a data path.
Claims20
A path processing method, performed by an intermediate-session management function (I-SMF), comprising:
- receiving, a first message sent by an anchor-session management function (A-SMF), wherein the first message comprises context information associated with a User Equipment (UE);
- determining, according to the context information, a mode corresponding to a data path established by the I-SMF, wherein the mode is indicative of whether the data path supports a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session with multi-homing function;
- determining a node type of a node according to the mode, wherein the node type comprises an uplink classifier (UL-CL) or a branching point (BP);
- inserting the node in the data path;
- and
- establishing the data path with the inserted node.
A path processing method, performed by an anchor-session management function (A-SMF), comprising:
- sending a message to an intermediate-session management function (I-SMF), wherein the message comprises context information associated with a User Equipment (UE) and indicative of a mode corresponding to a data path established by the I-SMF, the mode being indicative of whether the data path supports a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session with multi-homing function.
A network element comprising a memory for storing computer instructions and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the computer instructions, the processor is configured to cause the network element to:
- receive a first message sent by an anchor-session management function (A-SMF), wherein the first message comprises context information associated with a User Equipment (UE);
- determine, according to the context information, a mode corresponding to a data path established by the network element, wherein the mode is indicative of whether the data path supports a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session with multi-homing function;
- determine a node type of a node according to the mode, wherein the node type comprises an uplink classifier (UL-CL) or a branching point (BP);
- insert the node in the data path;
- and
- establish the data path with the inserted node.
A network element comprising a memory for storing computer instructions and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the computer instructions, the processor is configured to cause the network element to:
- send a message to an intermediate-session management function (I-SMF), wherein the message comprises context information associated with a User Equipment (UE) and indicative of a mode corresponding to a data path established by the I-SMF, the mode being indicative of whether the data path supports a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session with multi-homing function.
