Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for establishing a session, used for solving the problem in the prior art that the method for establishing data transmission of a control plane in a 4G network is not applicable to a 5G network. After receiving a session establishment request sent by a terminal, an access and mobility management function entity in the embodiment of the present disclosure indicates to a session management function entity that a control plane session is established for the terminal; the session management function entity indicates tunnel information of downlink data transmission to a user plane function entity, and data transmission is performed between the access and mobility management function entity and the terminal via a non-access layer message when data needs to be transmitted.

Claims (61)

1 . A method for establishing a session, comprising:

receiving, by an access and mobility management function entity, a session establishment request sent by a user equipment;

determining, by the access and mobility management function entity, to establish a control plane session for the user equipment;

instructing, by the access and mobility management function entity, a session management function entity to establish the control plane session for the user equipment;

performing, by the access and mobility management function entity, data transmission with the user equipment through a Non Access Stratum, NAS, message.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, by the access and mobility management function entity, to establish the control plane session for the user equipment comprises:

negotiating, by the access and mobility management function entity, with the user equipment to determine a session type to be control plane session in a registration process of the user equipment.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

instructing, by the access and mobility management function entity, tunnel information of the access and mobility management function entity to the session management function entity;

wherein the tunnel information of the access and mobility management function entity is used by a user plane function entity to send downlink data to the access and mobility management function entity.

4 . (canceled)

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the access and mobility management function entity, tunnel information of a user plane function entity instructed by the session management function entity;

wherein the tunnel information of the user plane function entity is used by the access and mobility management function entity to send uplink data to the user plane function entity.

6 . (canceled)

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, by the access and mobility management function entity, service quality information of the session instructed by the session management function entity.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing, by the access and mobility management function entity, data transmission with the user equipment through the NAS message, comprises:

performing, by the access and mobility management function entity, data transmission with the user equipment through an NAS mobility management message; and

the method further comprises:

performing, by the access and mobility management function entity, data transmission with a user plane function entity through a tunnel.

9 . (canceled)

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing, by the access and mobility management function entity, data transmission with the user equipment through the NAS message, comprises:

performing, by the access and mobility management function entity, data transmission with the user equipment through an NAS session management message; and

the method further comprises:

performing, by the access and mobility management function entity, transmission of the NAS session management message with the session management function entity.

11 . (canceled)

12 . A method for establishing a session, comprising:

receiving, by a session management function entity, a session establishment request sent by a user equipment;

receiving, by the session management function entity, instruction information of establishing a control plane session for the user equipment sent by an access and mobility management function entity;

instructing, by the session management function entity, tunnel information of downlink data transmission to a user plane function entity.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

receiving, by the session management function entity, tunnel information of the access and mobility management function entity sent by the access and mobility management function entity.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the tunnel information of downlink data transmission is tunnel information of the access and mobility management function entity; or tunnel information of the session management function entity.

15 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

instructing, by the session management function entity service quality information of the session requested to be established to the access and mobility management function entity.

16 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

instructing, by the session management function entity, tunnel information of the user plane function entity to the access and mobility management function entity.

17 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

determining, by the session management function entity, a session type to be control plane session according to session context information of the user equipment.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

instructing, by the session management function entity, tunnel information of the user plane function entity corresponding to the session requested to be established to the access and mobility management function entity.

19 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

performing, by the session management function entity, data transmission with the user equipment through a Non Access Stratum, NAS, session management message; and

performing, by the session management function entity, data transmission with the user plane function entity through tunnel information.

20 . (canceled)

21 . A method for establishing a session, comprising:

sending, by a user equipment, a session establishment request to an access and mobility management function entity;

establishing, by the user equipment, a control plane session with the access and mobility management function entity;

performing, by the user equipment, data transmission with the access and mobility management function entity through the control plane session.

22 . (canceled)

23 . (canceled)

24 . The method of claim 21 , wherein performing, by the user equipment, data transmission with the access and mobility management function entity through the control plane session comprises:

performing, by the user equipment, data transmission with the access and mobility management function entity through an NAS mobility management message or an NAS session management message.

25 . (canceled)

26 . An access and mobility management function entity for establishing a session, wherein the access and mobility management function entity comprises a processor, a memory and a transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to read a program in the memory to perform the method according to claim 1 .

27 - 36 . (canceled)

37 . A session management function entity for establishing a session, comprising: a processor, a memory and a transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to read a program in the memory to perform the method according to claim 12 .

38 - 45 . (canceled)

46 . A user equipment for establishing a session, comprising a processor, a memory and a transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to read a program in the memory to perform the method according to claim 21 .

47 - 54 . (canceled)
