US 2019/0098528 A1 · DATA SERVICE CONTROL METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE

Abstract

A data service control method and a related device are disclosed. The method includes: determining, by a PGW, a status of a data service switch of UE; if the status of the data service switch is that the data service switch is turned off, after the PGW receives a first data packet that comes from or goes to the UE, determining, by the PGW, whether the first data packet belongs to a specified type; and forwarding, by the PGW, the first data packet if the first data packet belongs to the specified type; or discarding, by the PGW, the first data packet if the first data packet does not belong to the specified type. During implementation of embodiments of the present disclosure, when the data service switch of the UE is turned off, data traffic of the UE can be saved.

Dependent claims

A data service control method, comprising:

determining, by a packet data network (PDN) gateway (PGW), a status of a data service switch of user equipment (UE), wherein the status of the data service switch indicates that the data service switch is turned on or that the data service switch is turned off;
determining, by the PGW, whether a first data packet belongs to a specified type when the status of the data service switch indicates that the data service switch is turned off and the PGW receives a first data packet that goes to the UE;
and
performing the one of the following:
forwarding, by the PGW, the first data packet if the first data packet belongs to the specified type;
or
discarding, by the PGW, the first data packet if the first data packet does not belong to the specified type.

4 more elements

A PGW, comprising a processor and a network interface, wherein

the network interface is configured to receive a first data packet that goes to user equipment (UE);
the processor is configured to determine a status of a data service switch of the UE, wherein the status of the data service switch indicates that the data service switch is turned on or that the data service switch is turned off;
the processor is further configured to:
when the processor determines that the status of the data service switch indicates that the data service switch is turned off, and the network interface receives the first data packet that goes to the UE, determine whether the first data packet belongs to a specified type;
the processor is further configured to forward the first data packet when the processor determines that the first data packet belongs to the specified type;
and
the processor is further configured to discard the first data packet when the processor determines that the first data packet does not belong to the specified type.
