Abstract

A communication method and apparatus, a storage medium, and a chip system are disclosed. In one example, a wireless communication apparatus includes a communication processor and an application processor, and the communication processor is coupled to the application processor. The communication processor is configured to receive a first request sent by the application processor, where the first request is used to query a route selection descriptor. The communication processor is configured to send a second request to a network device. The second request includes at least one parameter in the route selection descriptor.

Claims (65)

1 . A wireless communication apparatus, comprising a communication processor and an application processer, wherein the communication processor is configured to:

receive a first AT command sent by the application processor, wherein the first AT command is used to query a route selection descriptor, and the first AT command comprises a first parameter; and

send a first response to the application processor, wherein the first response comprises at least one parameter of at least one route selection descriptor in a target user route selection policy (URSP) rule, wherein the at least one route selection descriptor in the target URSP rule matches with the first parameter; and

send a second request to a network device, wherein the second request comprises a request for establishing a session, and the second request comprises the at least one parameter of the route selection descriptor.

2 . The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter is the same as a parameter comprised in a traffic descriptor in the target URSP rule.

3 . The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter comprises at least one of the following parameters:

a destination address parameter of to-be-transmitted data;

a data network parameter corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data;

an application descriptor corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data; or

a connection capability parameter corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data.

4 . The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the traffic descriptor comprises at least one of the following parameters:

a destination address parameter;

a data network parameter;

an application descriptor; or

a connection capability parameter.

5 . The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter of the at least one route selection descriptor comprises:

a parameter of a network slice;

a data network name (DNN); or

a session type.

6 . The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the AT command comprises at least one of the following:

+C5GRSDQRY; +C5GURSPQRY; +CURSPQRY; +CQRSD; +C5GQRSD; or +C5GRURSP.

7 . The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first response further comprises a precedence of the route selection descriptor.

8 . A communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a communication processor, a first AT command sent by an application processor, wherein the communication processor and the application processor are included in a wireless communication apparatus, the first AT command is used to query a route selection descriptor, and the first AT command comprises a first parameter; and

sending, from the communication processor, a first response to the application processor, wherein the first response comprises at least one parameter of at least one route selection descriptor in a target user route selection policy (URSP) rule, wherein the at least one route selection descriptor in the target URSP rule matches with the first parameter; and

sending, from the communication processor, a second request to a network device, wherein the second request comprises a request for establishing a session, and the second request comprises the at least one parameter of the route selection descriptor.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first parameter is the same as a parameter comprised in a traffic descriptor in the URSP rule.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first parameter comprises at least one of the following parameters:

a destination address parameter of to-be-transmitted data;

a data network parameter corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data;

an application descriptor corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data; or

a connection capability parameter corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data.

11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the traffic descriptor comprises at least one of the following parameters:

a destination address parameter;

a data network parameter;

an application descriptor; or

a connection capability parameter.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one parameter of the at least one route selection descriptor comprises:

a parameter of a network slice;

a data network name (DNN); or

a session type.

13 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first AT command comprises at least one of the following:

+C5GRSDQRY; +C5GURSPQRY; +CURSPQRY; +CQRSD; +C5GQRSD; or +C5GRURSP.

14 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first response further comprises a precedence of the route selection descriptor.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores program code, and when the program code is executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first AT command sent by an application processor, wherein the first AT command is used to query a route selection descriptor, and the first AT command comprises a first parameter; and

sending a first response to the application processor, wherein the first response comprises at least one parameter of a at least one route selection descriptor in a target user route selection policy (URSP) rule, wherein the at least one route selection descriptor in the target URSP rule matches with the first parameter; and

sending a second request to a network device, wherein the second request comprises a request for establishing a session, and the second request comprises the at least one parameter of the route selection descriptor.

16 . The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the first parameter is the same as a parameter comprised in a traffic descriptor in the URSP rule.

17 . The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the first parameter comprises at least one of the following parameters:

a destination address parameter of to-be-transmitted data;

a data network parameter corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data;

an application descriptor corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data; or

a connection capability parameter corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data.

18 . The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the traffic descriptor comprises at least one of the following parameters:

a destination address parameter;

a data network parameter;

an application descriptor; or

a connection capability parameter.

19 . The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the at least one parameter of the at least one route selection descriptor comprises:

a parameter of a network slice;

a data network name (DNN); or

a session type.

20 . The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the first AT command comprises at least one of the following:

+C5GRSDQRY; +C5GURSPQRY; +CURSPQRY; +CQRSD; +C5GQRSD; or +C5GRURSP.
