    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for providing flexible multicast or broadcast session establishment and management are disclosed. In one example aspect, a wireless communication method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a broadcast and multicast or broadcast service center function, a request for establishing a multicast or broadcast session for an application function. The request comprises information indicating a target area for a multicast or broadcast service associated with the multicast or broadcast session. The method also includes determining, by the broadcast and multicast or broadcast service center function, at least one access and mobility management function based on the information; and transmitting, by the broadcast and multicast or broadcast service center function, a session trigger message to the at least one access and mobility management function to allow the at least one access and mobility management function to initiate an establishment of the multicast or broadcast session.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for implementing traffic splitting. The method includes: after a control plane function obtains an application identifier, a packet flow description corresponding to the application identifier and location information applicable to the packet flow description from an application, the control plane function provides the packet flow description to a user plane function corresponding to the location information applicable to the packet flow description, so that the user plane function splits traffic data corresponding to the application identifier. In the solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the packet flow description is installed on the corresponding user plane function by using the location information, and thus the traffic splitting is implemented.

    Abstract: Provided are a method for base station handover, a system, and a computer storage medium, the method comprising a first access and mobility management function (AMF) receives handover request information sent by a first base station, the handover request information serving to request handover of a UE from the first base station to a second base station; when the UE does not need to carry out cross-AMF handover, the first AMF sends a handover preparation request to the second base station requesting target resources for the UE; in a cross-AMF handover process, the AMF of the UE changes from a first AMF to a second AMF; when a UE needs to carry out a cross-AMF handover process, the first AMF sends handover request information to a second AMF, and the second AMF sends a handover preparation request to the second base station requesting target resources for the UE.

    Abstract: The present document provides a method, a device and a system for implementing a local gateway service. Wherein the method includes: adding, by a first connection device, a second connection device for a terminal (300); interacting collocated local gateway address information between the first connection device and the second connection device (301); and reporting, by the first connection device, determined collocated local gateway address information to a core network, and using, by the core network, the collocated local gateway address information to perform the local gateway service (302). Through the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present document, the core network obtains the collocated local gateway address information, and the local gateway service is implemented aiming at a dual-connection service scenario.

    Abstract: Methods and devices for notifying an authorization update are provided. In a method for notifying an authorization update, a home network Proximity-based Services (ProSe) functional entity of an announcing terminal receives a notification message from a ProSe application server, where the notification message is used for notifying the home network ProSe functional entity of the announcing terminal that authorization information changes (S302); and the home network ProSe functional entity of the announcing terminal notifies a home network ProSe functional entity of a monitoring terminal that a ProSe code and/or filter corresponding to the announcing terminal become/becomes invalid or are/is updated (S304).

    Abstract: A processing method and device for Device to Device (D2D) discovery are provided. The method includes that: a broadcaster terminal acquires a radio resource in a D2D discovery process; and the broadcaster terminal sends a mode indicator and a broadcast identifier through the radio resource, wherein the mode indicator is used for indicating whether a terminal corresponding to the broadcast identifier is the broadcaster terminal or a target terminal which the broadcaster terminal expects to discover. By the solution, flexibility and diversity of a D2D communication mode are enhanced, and user experiences are improved.

    Abstract: Provided are a cross-Master eNB (MeNB) switching method and apparatus, and a base station. The method comprises: a target MeNB determines that a UE has already established a selected internet protocol traffic offload (SIPTO)/local internet protocol access (LIPA) service on a secondary eNB (SeNB) before the switching; and the target MeNB retains or releases the SIPTO/LIPA service, wherein the user equipment (UE) is accessed to a source MeNB and the SeNB through dual links before the switching, and the UE is accessed to the target MeNB and the SeNB through the dual links after the switching, and a combined local gateway (L-GW) supporting the SIPTO/LIPA service is configured on the SeNB. By means of the present invention, the problem in the related art of not considering the processing of the SIPTO/LIPA service in the cross MeNB switching process is solved, thereby providing an SIPTO/LIPA service processing method in the cross MeNB switching process.
