Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, and specifically relates to a method, apparatus, terminal, network-side equipment and storage medium for obtaining information. Background Art

[0002] The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard introduces a mechanism for establishing a data channel (DC) during a call. Through DC, additional services can be performed during a call, such as screen sharing, location sharing, file transfer, etc., to provide users with a better experience. Different services correspond to different data channel applications (DC applications, also referred to as DC APPs). The DC APP can be dynamically downloaded to the terminal during a call, and does not require the terminal to be installed in advance, which is convenient for users to use.

[0003] 3GPP stipulates that users can only use DC services when making IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) voice or video calls. Therefore, DC services are also one of the exempt services (for example, charged according to usage time or number of times). That is, no matter what DC APP users use during IMS voice or video calls, they are not charged according to traffic. Among them, exempt services are services that can be used by the terminal when the data service is turned off.

[0004] However, as research progressed, 3GPP removed the restriction that DC services can only be used during IMS voice or video calls. At this time, it is inappropriate to continue to treat all DC apps as exempt services. Summary of the invention

[0050] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the information acquisition method, apparatus, terminal, network-side device and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0051] The following is a brief description of the technical contents involved in this application.

[0052] (1) Data Channel (DC) Mechanism

[0053] The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard introduces a mechanism to establish DC during a call. Through DC, additional services can be performed during a call, such as screen sharing, location sharing, file transfer, etc., to provide users with a better experience. Different services correspond to different data channel applications (DC applications, also referred to as DC APPs). The DC APP can be dynamically downloaded to the terminal during a call, without the need for the terminal to be installed in advance, which is convenient for users to use.

[0054] There are 2 types of DC:

[0055] Bootstrap DC: used to download DC APP from a data channel server (eg, data channel signaling function (DCSF)).

[0056] Application Data Channel (Application DC): used to transmit DC APP data.

[0057] (2) Data service shutdown status and exempted services

[0058] After the user turns off the Internet access switch on the terminal, in order to avoid continuing to use cellular technology (for example, 5G, 4G or 3G) for data transmission, which would cause user costs, 3GPP defines the 3GPP PSData Off (3GPP Packet Switched Data Off) method:

[0059] When the user turns off the Internet access switch on the terminal (i.e., in the 3GPP PS data off state), if the terminal is currently resident in the 5G network, the terminal carries the PS data off indication in the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment or modification request message, so that the 5G network side will prevent (prevent) data transmission requests for services other than the 3GPP packet switched data off exempt service (PS data off exempt service, hereinafter referred to as exempt service). The terminal side will also prevent data transmission requests for services other than exempt services.

[0060] It should be noted that being in the 3GPP data service off (PS data off) state can also be understood as 3GPP data service off being activated (3GPP PSData Off is activated). For the convenience of description, the 3GPP data service off state is referred to as the data service off state in the following.

[0061] If the terminal has performed IMS registration, the terminal carries the PS data off indication when initiating IMS registration, for example, carrying the g.3gpp.ps-data-off media feature tag, where:

[0062] The Serving CSCF (S-CSCF) of the IMS network will record the information that the terminal is in the data service closed state and notify the IMS application server (AS). The IMS AS will block data transmission requests for other IMS services except the exempted services.

[0063] The terminal, 5G network or IMS AS will configure an exempt service list. Usually, two lists are configured, one for the UE to use in the home operator (HPLMN) and the other for the UE to use in the roaming operator (VPLMN).

[0064] Exempt services refer to services that can still be used when the terminal is in data service closed state.

[0065] In the prior art, 3GPP stipulates that users can only use DC services when making IMS voice or video calls, and all DC apps are treated as exempt services (for example, billed according to usage time or number of times). As research progresses, 3GPP removes the restriction that DC services can only be used during IMS voice or video calls. At this time, it is inappropriate to continue to treat all DC apps as exempt services.

[0066] For example, the DC APP used by both parties in communication to transfer files is more suitable for billing according to the data flow used. The reason is that the transmission time will be affected by factors such as the size of the file transferred at a time and the quality of the network signal of the terminal. Therefore, it is unreasonable to charge according to the duration of use (when the signal quality is inconsistent when transferring the same file) and the number of times used (for example, the price for transferring a 1T movie and a 2M photo is the same), which does not conform to the network transmission situation.

[0067] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figure 2 , the present application embodiment provides a method for obtaining information, including:

[0068] Step 21: The terminal obtains a first list, where the first list includes at least one data channel application, and the at least one data channel application is a data channel application that can be used by the terminal when the terminal is in a data service closed state.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the data service off state may also be interpreted as 3GPP PS Data Off is activated. The data channel application that the terminal can use in the data service off state may also be interpreted as an exempt service (3GPP PS data off exempt service) that the terminal can use.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, not all data channel applications (DC APP) are processed as exempt services. The terminal can determine a first list, which includes at least one data channel application. The at least one data channel application is a data channel application that can be used by the terminal when the data service is closed, thereby enabling the terminal to optimize the use of the data channel application when the data service is closed.

[0071] In some embodiments, optionally, the terminal obtains the first list, including: the terminal receives the first list sent by the first IMS network element. That is, the first list may be determined by the first IMS network element and sent to the terminal.

[0072] In some embodiments, optionally, the first IMS network element may be a data channel signaling function (DCSF), and of course other IMS network elements are not excluded.

[0073] Optionally, the terminal receiving the first list sent by a first IMS network element includes: the terminal sending a first request to the first IMS network element, where the first request is used to request the first list.

[0074] Optionally, the terminal sending a first request to the first IMS network element includes:

[0075] When the terminal is in a data service closed state, sending a first request to the first IMS network element;

[0076] or,

[0077] When the terminal is changed to a data service closed state, the terminal sends a first request to the first IMS network element.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first request is a Hypertext Transfer Protocol Get Request (HTTP GET Request). The HTTP GET request carries a root Uniform Resource Locator (URL). In some embodiments, optionally, the terminal obtains the first list, including:

[0079] The terminal obtains a second list and a third list, wherein the second list includes data channel applications that can be used in a data service closed state and configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered, and the third list includes all data channel applications that can be used by the terminal;

[0080] The terminal determines the first list according to the second list and the third list.

[0081] Optionally, the first list is the intersection of the second list and the third list.

[0082] Optionally, the second list includes data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state and configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered, which can be understood as: the second list includes a list of all data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state. The second list can be a list of data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state and configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered, and the data channel applications covered in the second list may include data channel applications that can be used by the terminal, and may also include data channel applications that cannot be used by the terminal.

[0083] Optionally, the third list includes all data channel applications that can be used by the terminal. The third list may be a list generated by the first IMS network element according to information such as the subscription and capability of the terminal.

[0084] That is, in this embodiment, the first list is determined by the terminal.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, data channel applications are further subdivided. Optionally, data channel applications that are not charged according to traffic volume are treated as exempt services and configured in the second list, and other data channel applications are treated as non-exempt services.

[0086] Optionally, the 3GPP packet switched data shutdown exemption service configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered includes the second list, or the second list is a list independent of the 3GPP packet switched data shutdown exemption service.

[0087] Optionally, each data channel application in the second list is represented by at least one of the following methods:

[0088] The ID of the data channel application;

[0089] The type of data channel application, such as instant messaging, file transfer, etc.

[0090] The purpose of data channel applications, such as positioning, screen sharing, file transfer, etc.

[0091] Optionally, the terminal obtains the second list including at least one of the following:

[0092] The terminal obtains the second list stored locally;

[0093] The terminal obtains the second list through a device management process;

[0094] The terminal obtains the second list through a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC provisioning) process;

[0095] The terminal obtains the second list during the IMS registration process.

[0096] During the existing device management process, UICC provision process and IMS registration process, the terminal can obtain 3GPP PSdata off exempt service. In the embodiment of the present application, the process of obtaining the second list is the same as the process of obtaining 3GPP PSdata off exempt service.

[0097] Optionally, the terminal obtaining the third list includes: the terminal obtaining the third list from the first IMS network element.

[0098] Optionally, the terminal determines the first list according to the second list and the third list, including:

[0099] If the terminal is in a data service closed state when obtaining the third list, the terminal determines the first list according to the second list and the third list;

[0100] or,

[0101] If the terminal is not in the data service off state when obtaining the third list, the terminal determines the first list according to the second list and the third list after changing to the data service off state.

[0102] Among them, the first situation (if the terminal is in a data service closed state when obtaining the third list) may be that the terminal is first in a data service closed state, and then establishes a bootstrap data channel (bootstrap DC), and obtains the third list from the first IMS network element. In this case, once the terminal obtains the third list, it determines the first list based on the second list and the third list.

[0103] In the second case (if the terminal is not in the data service closed state when obtaining the third list), the terminal may first establish a bootstrap data channel (bootstrap DC), obtain the third list from the first IMS network element, and then change to the data service closed state. In this case, after the terminal obtains the third list, it may not immediately determine the first list based on the second list and the third list, but wait until the terminal changes to the data service closed state, and then determine the first list based on the second list and the third list.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the method for obtaining information also includes: when the terminal is in a data service closed state, if it is determined that a first data channel application is using an application data channel (ApplicationDC), and the first data channel application is not included in the first list, the terminal initiates a process of deleting the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application.

[0105] Optionally, the terminal may send a second request to instruct to delete the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application. Optionally, the second request may be a re-Invite message.

[0106] Optionally, the instructing to delete the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application may be achieved by instructing to set a port number corresponding to the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application to 0.

[0107] Optionally, the first data channel application is not included in the first list, which can be understood as: the first data channel application does not belong to the first list; or the first list does not include a data channel application that is the same as the first data channel application.

[0108] Through the embodiments of the present application, the problem of how to determine whether the application data channel can continue to be used when the terminal is in a data service closed state can be solved. Specifically, if there is a data channel service (i.e., an exempted service) that can be used by the terminal when the data service is closed, the application data channel can continue to be used for data transmission. If there is a data channel service that cannot be used by the terminal when the data service is closed (a non-exempt service or a data channel service that the terminal cannot use), the corresponding application data channel is deleted.

[0109] Optionally, the terminal initiates a process of deleting the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application, including: the terminal sends a second request, where the second request is used to instruct to delete the application data channel.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, after obtaining the first list, the terminal may further display the first list to present the data channel applications that can continue to be used to the user.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 3 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for obtaining information, including:

[0112] Step 31: The first IMS network element sends a first list to the terminal, where the first list includes at least one data channel application, and the at least one data channel application is a data channel application that can be used by the terminal when the terminal is in a data service closed state.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first IMS network element may be a DCSF, but other IMS network elements are not excluded.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the first IMS network element may determine a first list and send it to the terminal, wherein the first list includes at least one data channel application, and the at least one data channel application is a data channel application that can be used by the terminal when the data service is closed, thereby enabling the terminal to optimize the use of the data channel application when the data service is closed.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first IMS network element sends the first list to the terminal, including:

[0116] The first IMS network element receives a first request sent by a terminal, where the first request is used to request the first list;

[0117] The first IMS network element sends the first list to the terminal.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, further optionally, when the terminal is in a data service closed state and receives the first request, the first IMS network element sends the first list to the terminal.

[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the method for obtaining information further includes:

[0120] The first IMS network element obtains a second list and a third list, wherein the second list includes data channel applications that can be used in a data service closed state and configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered, and the third list includes all data channel applications that can be used by the terminal;

[0121] The first IMS network element determines the first list according to the second list and the third list.

[0122] Optionally, the first list is the intersection of the second list and the third list.

[0123] Optionally, the second list includes data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered, which can be understood as: the second list includes a list of all data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state. The second list can be a list of data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state of the PLMN to which the terminal is registered.

[0124] Optionally, the third list includes all data channel applications that the terminal can use, which can be understood as: the third list includes a list of all data channel applications that the terminal can use. The third list can be a list generated by the first IMS network element according to information such as the terminal's subscription and capabilities.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the method for obtaining information further includes: the first IMS network element receiving a first message sent by the second IMS network element, where the first message includes at least one of the following:

[0126] the second list;

[0127] Indication information used to indicate that the terminal is in a data service closed state.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present application, if the first IMS network element stores the second list, the first message sent by the second IMS network element may not include the second list, but only include indication information for indicating that the terminal is in a data service closed state. Of course, the first message may also include the second list.

[0129] If the second list is not saved in the first IMS network element, the first message sent by the second IMS network element needs to include the second list. When the first IMS network element receives the second list, it can be considered that the terminal is in a data service closed state. Of course, the first message can also include indication information indicating that the terminal is in a data service closed state.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the second IMS network element may be an IMS application server (Application Server, AS), and of course other IMS network elements are not excluded.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first message may be a notification message used to notify the first IMS network element to establish a bootstrap data channel, for example, may be a Nimsas_SessionEventControl_Notify message.

[0136] The type of data channel application, such as instant messaging, file transfer, etc.

[0138] Please refer to Figure 4 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for obtaining information, including:

[0139] Step 41: When the second IMS network element determines that the terminal is in a data service closed state, the second IMS network element sends a first message to the first IMS network element, where the first message includes at least one of the following:

[0140] A second list, the second list includes data channel applications that can be used in a data service closed state and configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered;

[0141] Indication information used to indicate that the terminal is in a data service closed state.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the terminal is in a service-off state, the second IMS network element may send the second list to the first IMS network element, and the first IMS network element determines the first list according to the second list. In addition, the first message may only include the second list, and when the first IMS network element receives the second list, it is considered that the terminal is in a data service-off state, thereby determining the first list. Of course, the first message may also include the indication information.

[0144] When it is determined that the terminal is in a service-off state, the first message sent by the second IMS network element may also include only the indication information. This situation is usually when the first IMS network element has already saved the second list. In this case, the second IMS network element does not need to send the second list. Of course, the second IMS network element may also send the second list.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the second IMS network element may be an IMS AS.

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first IMS network element may be a DCSF.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first message may be a notification message used to notify the first IMS network element to establish a bootstrap data channel, for example, may be a Nimsas_SessionEventControl_Notify message.

[0148] In an embodiment of the present application, data channel applications are further subdivided. Optionally, data channel applications that are not charged according to traffic volume are treated as exempt services and configured in the second list, and other data channel applications are treated as non-exempt services.

[0149] Optionally, the second list includes data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered, which can be understood as: the second list includes a list of all data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state. The second list can be a list of data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state of the PLMN to which the terminal is registered.

[0150] Optionally, the 3GPP packet switched data shutdown exemption service configured by the PLMN to which the terminal is registered includes the second list, or the second list is a list independent of the 3GPP packet switched data shutdown exemption service.

[0151] Optionally, each data channel application in the second list is represented by at least one of the following methods:

[0152] The ID of the data channel application;

[0153] The type of data channel application, such as instant messaging, file transfer, etc.

[0154] The purpose of data channel applications, such as positioning, screen sharing, file transfer, etc.

[0155] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, when the second IMS network element determines that the terminal is in a data service closed state, sending a first message to the first IMS network element includes:

[0156] The second IMS network element sends the first message to the first IMS network element when receiving the request for establishing a bootstrap data channel sent by the terminal and determining that the terminal is in a data service closed state;

[0157] or

[0158] The second IMS network element sends the first message to the first IMS network element when the terminal is changed to a data service closed state.

[0159] The following is an example of the method for obtaining information in the embodiment of the present application, combined with a specific application scenario.

[0160] Embodiment 1 of the present application

[0161] In this embodiment, the terminal (UE) is first in a data service closed state, and then a bootstrap data channel (bootstrap DC) is established.

[0162] Please refer to Figure 5 The information acquisition method of the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps: Figure 5 The IMS network elements are all network elements that provide services for UE-1):

[0163] Step 51: UE-1 initiates a call request to UE-2 via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite message. The SIP invite message carries a Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer, where the SDP offer is used to describe the media description information corresponding to this call.

[0164] The SDP offer includes the description information of the audio / video and the description information of establishing the Bootstrap DC.

[0165] In some embodiments, the description information of the Bootstrap DC may be as follows:

[0166] m=application 52718UDP / DTLS / SCTP webrtc-datachannel

[0167] b=AS:500

[0168] a=max-message-size:1024

[0169] a=sctp-port:5000

[0170] a=dcmap:0subprotocol="http"

[0171] Among them, the m line represents that the type of media is data channel;

[0172] Line b indicates that the bandwidth corresponding to the data channel is 500 kbps;

[0173] Line a represents the data channel attribute information:

[0174] a=max-message-size:1024 means that the maximum value of the message that can be transmitted by this data channel is 1024 bytes;

[0175] a=sctp-port:5000 means the port number corresponding to the data channel is 5000;

[0176] a=dcmap:0subprotocol="http" means that the APP corresponding to the bootstrap DC is provided by the network operator of UE-1;

[0177] If a=dcmap:10subprotocol="http", it means the APP corresponding to the bootstrap DC is provided by UE-1;

[0178] a=dcmap:100subprotocol="http" means that the APP corresponding to the bootstrap DC is provided by the network operator of UE-2;

[0179] If a=dcmap:110subprotocol="http", it means the APP corresponding to the bootstrap DC is provided by UE-2;

[0180] In line a, 0, 10, 100, and 110 are stream IDs. Stream IDs are used to identify DCs. Usually, 0-999 are used to identify bootstrap DCs, and stream IDs greater than or equal to 1000 are used to identify application DCs.

[0181] The invite message passes through the Proxy CSCF (P-CSCF) and the Serving CSCF (S-CSCF) that provide services for UE-1, and is finally routed to the IMS AS that provides services for UE-1, such as the Telephony Application Server (TAS).

[0182] Step 52: The IMS AS verifies UE-1 according to the user's subscription. If UE-1 can use the DC service, the IMS AS selects DCSF (DC Routing Decision and DCSF discovery).

[0183] Step 53: When the IMS AS determines that UE-1 is in the data service closed state, it sends a Nimsas_SessionEventControl_Notify message to the DCSF, which is used to notify the DCSF to establish a Bootstrap DC.

[0184] The Nimsas_SessionEventControl_Notify message is equivalent to the first message in the above embodiment, and the Nimsas_SessionEventControl_Notify message includes at least one of the following:

[0185] The second list includes data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state and configured by the PLMN where the terminal is registered; that is, a data channel application list for exempted services.

[0186] Indication information (data off indication) used to indicate that the terminal is in a data service off state.

[0187] If the Nimsas_SessionEventControl_Notify message already includes the second list, the above indication information may not be included, and sending the second list implicitly indicates that the terminal is in a data service closed state.

[0188] The Nimsas_SessionEventControl_Notify message may also include at least one of the following information:

[0189] Event ID: For example, when establishing a bootstrap DC, the Event ID is SessionEstablishmentRequestEvent;

[0190] Calling ID: the ID of UE-1, such as the IMS Public Identity (IMPU) of UE-1;

[0191] Called ID, i.e., the ID of UE-2, such as the IMPU of UE-2;

[0192] SessionCase: indicates whether the session is triggered by the calling party or the called party;

[0193] SessionID: session identifier;

[0194] MediaInfoList: media information list, each media information contains media identifier (Media id) and media attribute information. For example, Media Info corresponding to Bootstrap DC, or MediaInfo corresponding to Application DC.

[0195] Step 54: DCSF decides whether to provide DC and decides the control policy information for DC;

[0196] Step 55: DCSF prepares the media information of the media data channel 1 (MDC1) of the initiating end (UE-1) and the media information of the MDC1 of the terminating end (UE-2) for the data channel media function (DCMF) according to the policy information.

[0197] Among them, Media Data Channel (MDC) 1 is the interface between DCMF / enhance Multimedia Resource Function (MRF) and DCSF, and is used to transmit media data between DCSF and DCMF / enhanceMRF, for example, transmitting APP installation packages, APP lists, graphical user interfaces, etc.

[0198] Step 56: DCSF sends a Nimsas_MediaControl_MediaInstruction message to the IMS AS to instruct the IMS AS to establish a connection with the DCMF for both communicating parties. The message includes the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) information corresponding to UE-1.

[0199] The Nimsas_MediaControl_MediaInstruction message contains:

[0200] Session ID: the same as the Session ID in step 53;

[0201] MediaInstructionSet, containing:

[0202] mediaID: used to uniquely identify a media, the same as the mediaID in step 53;

[0203] mediaInstruction: instructs the IMS AS how to process media, for example, connect DCMF, disconnect DCMF, etc.

[0204] Step 57: IMS AS discovers DCMF / enhance MRF;

[0205] Steps 58-59: The IMS AS sends an Ndcmf_MediaResourceManagement_Create message to the DCMF according to the DCSF instruction (MediaInstructionSet) in step 56. The message includes the media resource information reserved for the calling party and the media resource information reserved for the called party, and the URL information corresponding to UE-1.

[0206] In the embodiment of the present application, step 58 and step 59 may also be performed in the same step.

[0207] Step 510: The IMS AS responds to the message in step 56 and sends a message to the DCSF to indicate whether the media resources are successfully reserved;

[0208] Step 511: DCSF responds to the message in step 53;

[0209] Step 512: The IMS AS modifies the content of the SDP sent to UE-2, adding media information of DCMF or enhanced MRF;

[0210] Step 513: Processing by the network at the UE-2 side;

[0211] Step 514: UE-2 replies with a response message to complete the establishment of the data channel;

[0212] Step 515: UE-1 obtains a first list from DCSF, the first list including at least one DC APP, the at least one DC APP being a data channel application that the terminal can use when the terminal is in a data service closed state. The first list is determined by DCSF based on the second list and the third list, the third list including all DC APPs that the terminal can use.

[0213] Step 516: UE-1 can select a DC APP from the APP list to download

[0214] Step 517: After UE-1 downloads the DC APP, it establishes an application DC corresponding to the DC APP.

[0215] Implementation method 2 of this application:

[0216] In this embodiment, the terminal (UE) first establishes a bootstrap data channel (bootstrap DC) and then changes to a data service closed state.

[0217] In this embodiment:

[0218] When the IMS AS determines that the UE is changed to the data service closed state, it sends a notification message to the DCSF. The notify message is equivalent to the first message in the above embodiment. The notify message includes at least one of the following:

[0219] The second list includes data channel applications that can be used in the data service closed state and configured by the PLMN where the terminal is registered; that is, a data channel application list for exempted services.

[0220] Indication information (data off indication) used to indicate that the terminal is in a data service off state.

[0221] If the notify message already includes the second list, the above indication information may not be included. Sending the second list implicitly indicates that the terminal is in a data service closed state.

[0222] The DCSF determines the first list according to the second list and the third list and sends the first list to the UE. The third list includes all DC APPs that the terminal can use.

[0223] When the UE determines to change to the data service off state, it executes the above step 515 to obtain the first list again.

[0224] When the UE determines to change to the data service closed state, if it is determined that a first data channel application is using an application data channel (Application DC), and the first data channel application is not included in the first list, the terminal initiates a process of deleting the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application.

[0225] Optionally, the terminal may send a re-Invite message to instruct deletion of the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application. The re-Invite message is similar to the Invite message in the first embodiment, except that the re-Invite message may carry instruction information for instructing deletion of the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application.

[0226] Optionally, the instructing to delete the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application may be achieved by instructing to set a port number corresponding to the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application to 0.

[0227] Embodiment 3 of the present application:

[0228] In the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the DCSF determines the first list, while in this embodiment, the UE determines the first list according to the second list and the third list.

[0229] The terminal obtaining the second list includes at least one of the following:

[0230] The terminal obtains the second list stored locally;

[0231] The terminal obtains the second list through a device management process;

[0232] The terminal obtains the second list through a UICC provision process;

[0233] The terminal obtains the second list during the IMS registration process.

[0234] In some embodiments, the terminal is first in a data service closed state, then establishes a bootstrap data channel (bootstrap DC), and obtains a third list from a first IMS network element. In this case, once the terminal obtains the third list, it determines the first list based on the second list and the third list.

[0235] In some embodiments, the terminal first establishes a bootstrap DC, obtains a third list from the first IMS network element, and then changes to a data service closed state. In this case, after the terminal obtains the third list, it may not immediately determine the first list based on the second list and the third list, but wait until the terminal changes to a data service closed state before determining the first list based on the second list and the third list.

[0236] In this embodiment, after the UE obtains the first list, it can present it to the user so that the user can understand the DC APPs that can be used when the data service is closed.

[0237] When the UE determines that it is in a data service closed state, if it is determined that a first data channel application is using an application data channel (Application DC), and the first data channel application is not included in the first list, the terminal initiates a process of deleting the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application.

[0238] Optionally, the terminal may send a re-Invite message to instruct deletion of the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application. The re-Invite message is similar to the Invite message in the first embodiment, except that the re-Invite message may carry instruction information for instructing deletion of the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application.

[0239] Optionally, the instructing to delete the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application may be achieved by instructing to set a port number corresponding to the application data channel corresponding to the first data channel application to 0.
