sending a discovery message, wherein the discovery message comprises application layer identifier information of a target user corresponding to a first user of the first MCPTT UE; and
receiving a response message from a second MCPTT UE, wherein the response message comprises a layer 2 identifier of the second MCPTT UE and the application layer identifier of the target user, and wherein
the second MCPTT UE is an MCPTT UE corresponding to the target user.
2. The discovery method according to claim 1 , wherein the discovery message is an application layer message.
3. The discovery method according to claim 1 , wherein the discovery message is a control plane signaling message of the first MCPTT UE.
4. The discovery method according to claim 1 , wherein the application layer identifier information of the target user is encrypted information, and the discovery message further comprises a security parameter, wherein the security parameter is used for the second MCPTT UE:
acquiring, after determining corresponding security information according to the security parameter, the application layer identifier of the target user in the discovery message; and
returning the response message.
5. The discovery method according to claim 1 , wherein
the target user and the first user are in a first communications group of at least one communications group, and the sending a discovery message comprises:
acquiring a group layer 2 address of the first communications group; and
sending the discovery message to the group layer 2 address.
6. The discovery method according to claim 1 , wherein the first user is in a second communications group of at least one communications group, and the sending a discovery message comprises:
acquiring a group layer 2 address of the second communications group; and
sending the discovery message of the group layer 2 address.
7. The discovery method according to claim 1 , wherein the discovery message further comprises:
a layer 2 identifier of the first MCPTT UE and an application layer identifier of the first user.
8. An apparatus, comprising a processor and a non-transitory storage medium storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
send a discovery message, wherein the discovery message comprises application layer identifier information of a target user corresponding to a first user of a first MCPTT user equipment (UE); and
receive a response message from a second MCPTT UE, wherein the response message comprises a layer 2 identifier of the second MCPTT UE and the application layer identifier of the target user, and wherein
the second MCPTT UE is an MCPTT UE corresponding to the target user.
9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the discovery message is a control plane signaling message of the first MCPTT UE.
10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the application layer identifier information of the target user is encrypted information, and the discovery message further comprises a security parameter, wherein the security parameter is used for acquiring the application layer identifier of the target user in the discovery message.
11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein
the target user and the first user are in a first communications group of at least one communications group, and wherein, when executed by the processor, the executable instructions further cause the apparatus to:
acquire a group layer 2 address of the first communications group; and
send the discovery message to the group layer 2 address.
12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first user is in a second communications group of at least one communications group, and wherein, when executed by the processor, the executable instructions further cause the apparatus to:
acquire a group layer 2 address of the second communications group; and
send the discovery message to the group layer 2 address.
13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the discovery message further comprises:
a layer 2 identifier of the first MCPTT UE and an application layer identifier of the first user.
14. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the discovery message is an application layer message.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor executable instructions for performing a discovery method applied to first mission critical push to talk (MCPTT) user equipment (UE), which, when executed by a processor of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
send a discovery message, wherein the discovery message comprises application layer information of a target user corresponding to a first user of the first MCPTT UE; and
receive a response message from a second MCPTT UE, wherein the response message comprises a layer 2 identifier of the second MCPTT UE and the application layer identifier of the target user, and wherein the second MCPTT UE is an MCPTT UE corresponding to the target user.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the discovery message is a control plane signaling message of the MCPTT UE.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the target user and the first user are in a first communications group of at least one communications group, and wherein, when executed by the processor, the executable instructions further cause the apparatus to:
acquire a group layer 2 address of the first communications group; and
send the discovery message to the group layer 2 address.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the application layer identifier of the first user is encrypted, and the discovery message further comprises a security parameter, wherein the security parameter is used for acquiring the application layer identifier of the first user that uses the MCPTT UE in the discovery message.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the discovery message further comprises:
a layer 2 identifier of the MCPTT UE.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the discovery message is an application layer message.
