US 2025/0168693 A1 · Communications Method and Apparatus

Abstract

A communications method and apparatus, where the method includes: sending, by a session management network element, first indication information when the session management network element determines, based on first information, to establish a first low-latency service flow for a session, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate to set the session to an always-on session. According to solutions of this application, when determining to establish the low-latency service flow, the session management network element flexibly indicates to a terminal apparatus to set the session to the always-on session. This avoids a resource waste caused by setting the session to the always-on session all the time, and avoids a transmission latency caused when the session is not set to the always-on session in time, such that resource utilization and transmission efficiency are improved.

Dependent claims

A communications method comprising:

determining, by a session management network element, that establishing of a first low-latency service flow for a session is allowed;
determining, by the session management network element and based on first information, to establish the first low-latency service flow, wherein the first information comprises at least one of local configuration information, subscription data, or a first quality of service (QoS) parameter;
sending, by a the session management network element, based on determining that establishing of the first low-latency service flow is allowed, and based on determining to establish the first low-latency service flow, first indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates to set the session to an always-on session;
and
receiving, by a terminal, the first indication information.

2 more elements

A computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a communications apparatus to:

determine that establishing of a first low-latency service flow for a session is allowed;
determine, based on first information, to establish the first low-latency service flow, wherein the first information comprises at least one of local configuration information, subscription data, or a first quality of service (QoS) parameter;
and
send first indication information based on determining that establishing of the first low-latency service flow is allowed and based on determining to establish the first low-latency service flow for the session,
wherein the first indication information indicates to set the session to an always-on session.

2 more elements

A computer program product comprising instructions that are stored on a computer-readable medium and that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a communications apparatus to:

determine that establishing of a first low-latency service flow for a session is allowed;
determine, based on first information, to establish the first low-latency service flow, wherein the first information comprises at least one of local configuration information, subscription data, or a first quality of service (QoS) parameter;
and
send first indication information based on determining that establishing of the first low-latency service flow is allowed and based on determining to establish the first low-latency service flow for the session, wherein the first indication information indicates to set the session to an always-on session;
