Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose an information transmission method, a network device, and a terminal device, thereby helping reduce signaling overheads. The method includes: determining, by a network device, a target policy corresponding to a terminal device according to current time information and/or position information of the terminal device; and sending, by the network device, the target policy to the terminal device.

Claims (36)

1. A method for information transmission, comprising:

determining, by a network device, a plurality of policies, wherein each policy corresponds to specific position information and time information; and

sending, by the network device, the plurality of policies to a terminal device, causing the terminal device to determine a target policy from the plurality of policies according to current position information and time information of the terminal device, wherein the target policy is used to indicate a parameter used by the terminal device to select a network or establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session,

wherein the target policy comprises a wireless local area network selection policy (WLANSP); and

wherein the position information comprises a presence reporting area (PRA) defined in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and at least one tracking area identity (TAI),

wherein the method further comprises:

determining, by the network device, a rule according to the current position information and time information of the terminal device; and

sending, by the network device, a policy constituted by the rule to the terminal device,

wherein a correspondence between the specific position information and time information, and the rule is prestored in the network device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the network device is a policy control function (PCF) entity, and the method further comprises:

receiving, by the network device, position information of the terminal device from an access and mobility management function (AMF);

determining, by the network device in response to a change of the position information of the terminal device, an updated target policy; and

sending, by the network device, the updated target policy to the terminal device.

3. A network device, comprising a processor, a memory, a transceiver, and one or more programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the network device to:

determine a plurality of policies, wherein each policy corresponds to specific position information and time information; and

send, via the transceiver, the plurality of policies to a terminal device, causing the terminal device to determine a target policy from the plurality of policies according to current position information and time information of the terminal device, wherein the target policy is used to indicate a parameter used by the terminal device to select a network or establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session,

wherein the target policy comprises a wireless local area network selection policy (WLANSP); and

wherein the position information comprises a presence reporting area (PRA) defined in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and at least one tracking area identity (TAI),

wherein the one or more programs further cause the network device to:

determine a rule according to the current position information and time information of the terminal device; and

send, via the transceiver, a policy constituted by the rule to the terminal device,

wherein a correspondence between the specific position information and time information, and the rule is prestored in the network device.

4. The network device according to claim 3 , wherein the network device is a policy control function (PCF) entity, and the one or more programs further cause the network device to:

receive, via the transceiver, position information of the terminal device from an access and mobility management function (AMF);

determine, in response to a change of the position information of the terminal device, an updated target policy; and

send, via the transceiver, the updated target policy to the terminal device.

5. A terminal device, comprising a processor, a memory, a transceiver, and one or more programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the terminal device to:

receive, via the transceiver, a plurality of policies from a network device, wherein each policy corresponds to specific position information and time information; and

determine a target policy from the plurality of policies according to current position information and time information of the terminal device, wherein the target policy is used to indicate a parameter used by the terminal device to select a network or establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session,

wherein the target policy comprises a wireless local area network selection policy (WLANSP); and

wherein the position information comprises a presence reporting area (PRA) defined in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and at least one tracking area identity (TAI),

wherein the one or more programs further cause the terminal device to:

receive, via the transceiver, a policy constituted by a rule from the network device,

wherein the rule is determined by the network device according to the current position information and time information of the terminal device, and a correspondence between the specific position information and time information, and the rule is prestored in the network device.

6. The terminal device according to claim 5 , wherein the network device is a policy control function (PCF) entity, and the one or more programs further cause the terminal device to:

receive, via the transceiver, an updated target policy from the network device, wherein the updated target policy is determined by the network device in response to a change of position information of the terminal device, and the position information of the terminal device is received by the network device from an access and mobility management function (AMF).
