Abstract
A communication method is provided. The method includes: An EES receives, from a terminal device, a first request message for obtaining an identifier of the terminal device, where the first request message includes a private IP address of the terminal device; the EES obtains a public IP address and a port number of the terminal device and sends, to an NEF, a second request message used to request the identifier of the terminal device, where the second request message includes the private IP address, and the public IP address and the port number of the terminal device; and the EES receives a response message from the NEF, where the response message includes the identifier of the terminal device, or the response message indicates that the obtaining fails.
Claims20
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving a first request message from a terminal device, wherein the first request message is used to obtain an identifier of the terminal device, and the first request message comprises a first private address of the terminal device;
- obtaining a public address and a port number of the terminal device, and sending a second request message to a network exposure function network element, wherein the second request message is used to obtain the identifier of the terminal device, and the second request message comprises the first private address, the public address, and the port number;
- and
- receiving first indication information or the identifier of the terminal device from the network exposure function network element, wherein the first indication information indicates failing to obtain the identifier of the terminal device.
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving a second request message from an edge enabler server, wherein the second request message is used to obtain an identifier of a terminal device, and the second request message comprises a first private address of the terminal device, and a public address and a port number of the terminal device;
- and
- when determining, based on the public address and the port number, that the first private address is valid, obtaining the identifier of the terminal device, and sending the identifier of the terminal device to the edge enabler server.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the communication apparatus to:
- receive a second request message from an edge enabler server, wherein the second request message is used to obtain an identifier of a terminal device, and the second request message comprises a first private address of the terminal device, and a public address and a port number of the terminal device;
- and
- when determining, based on the public address and the port number, that the first private address is valid, obtain the identifier of the terminal device, and send the identifier of the terminal device to the edge enabler server.
