Abstract

An information processing method is provided. The method comprises: reporting UE policy information corresponding to at least one network identifier to a network side, wherein the at least one network identifier is a network identifier corresponding to part of UE policy information currently stored in the terminal device.

Claims (23)

1. An information processing method, which is applied to a terminal device, the method comprising:

reporting at least one Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identifier and respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to a network side policy control function (PCF),

wherein the at least one PLMN identifier is a part of all PLMN identifiers which are stored in the terminal device, and the reported UE policy information corresponding to the at least one PLMN identifier is a part of all pieces of UE policy information which are currently stored in the terminal device,

said reporting at least one PLMN identifier and respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to the network side PCF comprises: reporting a PLMN identifier of a first network and UE policy information corresponding to the PLMN identifier of the first network to the network side PCF, wherein the first network is a network currently accessed by the terminal device or a network the terminal device currently requests to access; or

said reporting at least one PLMN identifier and respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to the network side PCF comprises at least one of: reporting a PLMN identifier of a first network and a PLMN identifier of a second network, and UE policy information corresponding to the PLMN identifier of the first network and UE policy information corresponding to the PLMN identifier of the second network to the network side PCF, wherein the first network is a home network, and the second network is a visited network,

wherein the at least one PLMN identifier and respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier are reported to the network side PCF during a process of establishing a connection with the first network, and the establishing the connection with the first network comprises at least one of: the terminal device initiating a service request flow, the terminal device initiating a UE policy request flow, and the terminal device initiating a PDU session establishment flow.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a UE policy set is currently stored in the terminal device; and

the UE policy set comprises: at least one UE policy, and a UE policy section identifier and a PLMN identifier corresponding to each UE policy;

wherein one PLMN identifier corresponds to at least one UE policy section identifier; and one UE policy section identifier corresponds to at least one UE policy.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reporting at least one PLMN identifier and respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to the network side PCF comprises: reporting the at least one PLMN identifier and the respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to the network side PCF, such that the network side PCF updates the UE policies stored in the terminal device based on the received UE policy information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE policy information comprises at least: a UE policy section identifier, and/or at least a part of contents of the UE policy.

5. A terminal device, comprising a processor, and a memory configured to store a computer program capable of running on the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to:

report at least one Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identifier and respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to a network side policy control function (PCF),

wherein the at least one network identifier is a part of all network identifiers which are stored in the terminal device, and the reported UE policy information corresponding to the at least one network identifier is a part of all pieces of UE policy information which are currently stored in the terminal device,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program to: report a PLMN identifier of a first network and UE policy information corresponding to the PLMN identifier of the first network to the network side PCF, wherein the first network is a network currently accessed by the terminal device or a network the terminal device currently requests to access; or

wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to report a PLMN identifier of a first network and a PLMN identifier of a second network, and UE policy information corresponding to at least one of the PLMN identifier of the first network and the PLMN identifier of the second network to the network side PCF, wherein the first network is a home network, and the second network is a visited network,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program to report at least one network identifier and respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to the network side PCF during a process of establishing a connection with the first network, and the process of establishing the connection with the first network comprises at least one of: the terminal device initiating a service request flow, the terminal device initiating a UE policy request flow, and the terminal device initiating a PDU session establishment flow.

6. The terminal device of claim 5 , wherein a UE policy set is currently stored in the terminal device; and

the UE policy set comprises: at least one UE policy, and a UE policy section identifier and a PLMN identifier corresponding to each UE policy;

wherein one PLMN identifier corresponds to at least one UE policy section identifier; and one UE policy section identifier corresponds to at least one UE policy.

7. The terminal device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to:

report the at least one PLMN identifier and the respective UE policy information corresponding to each of the at least one PLMN identifier to the network side PCF, such that the network side PCF updates the UE policies stored in the terminal device based on the received UE policy information.

8. The terminal device of claim 5 , wherein the UE policy information comprises at least: a UE policy section identifier, and/or at least a part of contents of the UE policy.
