Abstract

A method for providing a restricted service and a communications device, where the method includes: receiving, by a policy control function (PCF), an identifier of a terminal and indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the terminal is in a state of exception or indicate an exception type of the terminal; and sending, by the PCF, the identifier of the terminal and a first restricted service policy according to the indication information, where the first restricted service policy is used to provide a restricted service for the terminal.

Claims (54)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a policy control function (PCF), an identifier of a terminal and indication information from a network data analytics function (NWDAF), wherein the indication information indicates an exception type of the terminal, and wherein the exception type of the terminal comprises that performance of a flow of the terminal is abnormal;

determining, by the PCF, a first service policy corresponding to the exception type; and

sending, by the PCF, the first service policy corresponding to the exception type for the terminal to a session management function (SMF),

wherein the first service policy is configured to provide a service for the terminal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service comprises one or more of:

stopping a data flow; or

restricting the data flow.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service comprises one or more of:

stopping an uplink data flow;

restricting a downlink data flow; or

stopping the uplink data flow and restricting the downlink data flow.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein that the performance of the flow is abnormal comprises a rate of the flow is abnormal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service comprises stopping a data flow.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service comprises restricting a data flow.

7. A method, comprising:

determining, by a network data analytics function (NWDAF), an exception type of a terminal, wherein the exception type of the terminal comprises that performance of a flow of the terminal is abnormal; and

sending, by the NWDAF, an identifier of the terminal and indication information to a policy control function (PCF),

wherein the indication information indicates the exception type of the terminal.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining that the terminal is in a state of exception by determining, by the NWDAF based on traffic information of the terminal, that the terminal is in the state of exception, wherein the traffic information comprises uplink traffic information and/or downlink traffic information.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the exception type comprises one or more of:

abnormal uplink traffic;

abnormal downlink traffic; or

the abnormal uplink traffic and the abnormal downlink traffic.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein that the performance of the flow is abnormal comprises a rate of the flow is abnormal.

11. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to store executable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:

receive an identifier of a terminal and indication information from a network data analytics function (NWDAF), wherein the indication information indicates an exception type of the terminal, and wherein the exception type of the terminal comprises that performance of a flow of the terminal is abnormal;

determine a first service policy corresponding to the exception type; and

send the first service policy corresponding to the exception type for the terminal to a session management function (SMF),

wherein the first service policy is configured to provide a service for the terminal.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the service comprises one or more of:

stopping a data flow; or

restricting the data flow.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the service comprises one or more of:

stopping an uplink data flow;

restricting a downlink data flow; or

stopping the uplink data flow and restricting the downlink data flow.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein that the performance of the flow is abnormal comprises a rate of the flow is abnormal.

15. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to store executable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:

determine that a terminal is in a state of exception; and

send an identifier of the terminal and indication information to a policy control function (PCF),

wherein the indication information indicates an exception type of the terminal, and

wherein the exception type of the terminal comprises that performance of a flow of the terminal is abnormal.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein execution of the executable instructions by the one or more processors further causes the apparatus to determine, based on traffic information of the apparatus, that the apparatus is in the state of exception, and wherein the traffic information comprises uplink traffic information and/or downlink traffic information.

17. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the exception type comprises one or more of:

abnormal uplink traffic;

abnormal downlink traffic; or

the abnormal uplink traffic and the abnormal downlink traffic.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the apparatus is a network data analytics function (NWDAF).

19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein that the performance of the flow is abnormal comprises a rate of the flow is abnormal.
