Primary authentication methods for user equipment (ue), electronic device and storage medium

A method for communication, comprising:

• sending, by a second network element, a primary re-authentication request message including a user equipment (UE) identifier to a first network element to enable the first network element to acquire a state of a UE corresponding to the UE identifier and determine response indication information based on the state of the UE, wherein the UE identifier comprises a subscriber permanent identifier (SUPI);
• receiving, by the second network element, a primary re-authentication response message sent by the first network element, wherein the primary re-authentication response message includes the response indication information;
• and
• performing, by the second network element, a corresponding operation based on the response indication information.

An apparatus for communication comprising at least one processor and a memory storing at least one program, execution of which by the at least one processor causes the apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a primary re-authentication request message sent by a second network element, wherein the primary re-authentication request message includes a user equipment (UE) identifier;
• acquiring a state of a UE corresponding to the UE identifier, the UE identifier comprising a subscriber permanent identifier (SUPI);
• determining response indication information based on the state of the UE;
• and
• sending a primary re-authentication response message including the response indication information to the second network element to enable the second network element to perform a corresponding operation based on the response indication information.
