Abstract

A session processing method in wireless communications and a terminal device include sending, by the terminal device, a session establishment request to a core network device, where the session establishment request requests to establish a session, and the session is supported by a network slice corresponding to the session, determining, by the terminal device, that establishment of the session fails, determining, by the terminal device, a forbidden time period corresponding to the session, and forbidding, by the terminal device, the terminal device from sending the session establishment request within the forbidden time period.

Claims (36)

1. A session processing method in wireless communications implemented by a terminal device, comprising:

sending a request for establishing a session to a core network device, wherein the request comprises information for the session;

receiving a first message from the core network device, wherein the first message comprises indication information and a forbidden time period, wherein the forbidden time period is for a network slice, and wherein the indication information indicates that a resource of the network slice is limited;

determining, based on the first message, that establishment of the session has failed;

identifying that a serving network of the terminal device is changed from a first public land mobile network (PLMN) to a second PLMN within the forbidden time period; and

forbidding the terminal device, served by the second PLMN, from sending a second request for establishing a second session associated with the network slice within the forbidden time period.

2. The session processing method of claim 1 , wherein the forbidden time period indicates permanent forbidding.

3. The session processing method of claim 1 , wherein the forbidden time period is a preset time period.

4. The session processing method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a second message from the core network device within the forbidden time period, wherein the second message indicates that the terminal device is allowed to send the second request.

5. The session processing method of claim 4 , further comprising resuming, in response to the second message, allowing sending the second request.

6. The session processing method of claim 1 , wherein the information for the session includes slice/service type (SST) information indicating the session, and wherein the session processing method further comprises maintaining an SST forbidden list, and wherein the SST forbidden list comprises a correspondence between the SST information and the forbidden time period.

7. The session processing method of claim 1 , wherein both a network device of the first PLMN and a network device of the second PLMN support the network slice.

8. The session processing method of claim 1 , wherein that a network device of the first PLMN supports the network slice, and a network device of the second PLMN does not support the network slice, wherein the session processing method further comprises forbidding the terminal device from sending a third request for establishing a third session associated with the network slice at any time when the terminal is located in the second PLMN.

9. The session processing method of claim 1 , wherein the request comprises information about the network slice, wherein the network slice supports the session.

10. An apparatus, comprising:

a transmitter configured to send a request for establishing a session to a core network device, wherein the request comprises information for the session;

a receiver and configured to receive a first message from the core network device, wherein the first message comprises indication information and a forbidden time period, wherein the forbidden time period is for a network slice, and wherein the indication information indicates that a resource of the network slice is limited; and

a processor coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

determine, based on the first message, that establishment of the session has failed;

identify that a serving network of a terminal device is changed from a first public land mobile network (PLMN) to a second PLMN within the forbidden time period; and

forbid sending a second request for establishing a second session associated with the network slice within the forbidden time period in the second PLMN.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the forbidden time period indicates permanent forbidding.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the forbidden time period is a preset time period.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive a second message from the core network device within the forbidden time period, and wherein the second message indicates that the apparatus is allowed to send the second request.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to resume allowing sending the second request in response to the second message.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the information for the session includes slice/service type (SST) information indicating the session, and wherein the processor is configured to forbid sending the second request within the forbidden time period by maintaining an SST forbidden list, and wherein the SST forbidden list comprises a correspondence between the SST information and the forbidden time period.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein both a network device of the first PLMN and a network device of the second PLMN support the network slice.

17. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a network device of the first PLMN supports the network slice, and a network device of the second PLMN does not support the network slice, and wherein the processor is further configured to forbid the terminal device from sending a third request for establishing a third session associated with the network slice at any time when the terminal is located in the second PLMN.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a terminal device to:

send a request for establishing a session to a core network device, wherein the request comprises information for the session;

receive a first message from the core network device, wherein the first message comprises indication information and a forbidden time period, wherein the forbidden time period is for a network slice, and wherein the indication information indicates that a resource of the network slice is limited;

determine, based on the first message, that establishment of the session has failed;

identify that a serving network of the terminal device is changed from a first public land mobile network (PLMN) to a second PLMN within the forbidden time period; and

forbid the terminal device, served by the second PLMN, from sending a second request for establishing a second session associated with the network slice within the forbidden time period.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the forbidden time period indicates permanent forbidding or the forbidden time period is a preset time period.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the terminal device to receive a second message from the core network device within the forbidden time period, and wherein the second message indicates that the terminal device is allowed to send the second request.
