Abstract
A service indication method includes: acquiring service indication information, the service indication information including at least one of support information about a service and preference information about the service, the service including at least one of an emergency service and a voice service; and performing a relevant operation on the service in accordance with the acquired service indication information.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor of a Radio Access Network (RAN) so as to implement a service indication method, the service indication method comprising:
- acquiring service indication information from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), the service indication information comprising support information about the service, the service comprising at least one of an emergency service or a voice service;
- and
- preforming a relevant operation on the service in accordance with the acquired service indication information and a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session or a Quality of Service (QoS) flow establishment request for the service,
- wherein the support information about the service comprises service support type information;
- wherein the service support type information is used to indicate whether redirection to Evolved Packet System (EPS) for supporting the service is possible or not,
- wherein
- in a first situation where the service support type information is used to indicate redirection to EPS for supporting the service is possible, the performing the relevant operation on the service in accordance with the service indication information comprises choosing one operation among the following operations:
- accepting a PDU session or QoS flow establishment request for the service, handing over the terminal to an enhanced Long Term Evolution (eLTE), handing over the terminal to an EPS, or re-directing the terminal to an EPS, or
- in a second situation where the service support type information is used to indicate redirection to EPS for supporting the service is not possible, the performing the relevant operation on the service in accordance with the service indication information comprises choosing one operation among the following operations:
- accepting a PDU session or QoS flow establishment request for the service, handing over the terminal to an enhanced Long Term Evolution (eLTE), or handing over the terminal to an EPS.
