AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In communication systems, the communication latency between terminals and core network elements is relatively large, which cannot meet the communication latency and performance requirements of diverse services.

Method used

Access network devices directly interact with user plane network elements to exchange address information, reducing the forwarding process of session management network elements. Through service-oriented interfaces, direct calls between access network devices and core network elements are realized, optimizing the communication process.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the communication latency for session establishment or activation, and improves the interaction efficiency and communication performance between network elements.

Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of communications. Provided are a communication method and apparatus, which are used for reducing a communication delay, thereby improving the communication performance. The method comprises: an access network device receiving a first service invocation request from a session management network element, wherein the first service invocation request comprises first address information of a first network element and a session identifier of a first session, and the first network element is a user plane network element of the first session; and the access network device sending a second service invocation request to the first network element, wherein the second service invocation request is used for establishing or activating the first session, and the second service invocation request comprises the session identifier of the first session and address information of the access network device.
