Abstract
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for connection handling. The method includes: receiving a connection request that requests for establishing or resuming a connection with a base station; and instructing a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) of a terminal to perform a predetermined operation based on an obtained first connection result corresponding to the connection request. In this way, the problems associated with inconsistent operations in the user plane optimization in the related art can be solved and the consistency in operations between the Access Stratum (AS) and NAS of the terminal can be achieved.

1-56. (canceled)
A method for connection handling, comprising:
- receiving, by a first network element, a first message carrying a first resume identity from a terminal;
- determining, by the first network element, a second resume identity based on the first resume identity;
- and
- transmitting, by the first network element, a second message carrying the second resume identity to one or more second network elements to request the one or more second network elements to transfer context information of the terminal to the first network element based on the second resume identity, wherein the second message carries information indicating a format of the second resume identity.
58-59. (canceled)
61-62. (canceled)
An apparatus for connection handling, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a first message carrying a first resume identity from a terminal;
- a processor configured to determine a second resume identity based on the first resume identity;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit a second message carrying the second resume identity to one or more second network elements to request the one or more second network elements to transfer context information of the terminal to the first network element based on the second resume identity, wherein the second message carries information indicating a format of the second resume identity.
65-68. (canceled)
70-76. (canceled)
A non-transitory computer storage medium having code stored thereon, the code when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method that comprises
- receiving, by a first network element, a first message carrying a first resume identity from a terminal;
- determining, by the first network element, a second resume identity based on the first resume identity;
- and
- transmitting, by the first network element, a second message carrying the second resume identity to one or more second network elements to request the one or more second network elements to transfer context information of the terminal to the first network element based on the second resume identity, wherein the second message carries information indicating a format of the second resume identity.
