    摘要: Embodiments of this application provide a message forwarding method and an apparatus, so that a message for joining a multicast group is sent to a multicast user plane network element, and the multicast user plane network element is triggered to establish a tunnel for transmitting multicast data between the multicast user plane network element and an application server. The method may include: a multicast session management network element receives the message that indicates that a terminal is joining the multicast group; and when the terminal is the 1st terminal the multicast group, sends, to the multicast user plane network element, a message that requests to establish the tunnel for transmitting the multicast data between the multicast user plane network element and the application server.

    摘要: A domain name access method and a device are described. As described herein, a domain name server (DNS) server performs resolution on a domain name requested by the terminal device. The DNS server may then send an internet protocol (IP) address of an application server obtained through the resolution and use condition information to the terminal device. With this, communication efficiency of the terminal device can be improved, and waste of transmission resources in a communications system is also avoided.

    摘要: Embodiments of this application provide a roaming method. The method includes: A terminal device accesses a second PLMN when the terminal device cannot access a first PLMN, where a dynamic roaming agreement between the second PLMN and the first PLMN is enabled; the terminal device receives indication information from the second PLMN, where the indication information is used to indicate to disable the dynamic roaming agreement between the second PLMN and the first PLMN; and the terminal device sends an access request message to the first PLMN based on the indication information.

    摘要: This application relates to the field of communications technologies. This application discloses a method, an apparatus, a network device, and a system for releasing an IP (Internet protocol) address, to resolve a problem that a time at which the IP address is released is not precise. The method includes: determining, by the first network device, that a PDU session anchor needs to be relocated from a first user plane function entity, where the first user plane function entity is the PDU session anchor of a first PDU session of a terminal; determining, by the first network device, that a first IP address of the terminal is no longer used, where the first IP address is an IP address used by the terminal in the first PDU session; and releasing, by the first network device, the first IP address.

    摘要: This application is directed to a method and an apparatus for associating an application with a network slice, and a communications system. The method includes: obtaining, by a terminal, display instruction information, an identifier of a first network slice that the terminal is allowed to access, and service feature information corresponding to the first network slice. The method further includes: displaying the service feature information corresponding to the first network slice on a first display interface of the terminal based on the display instruction information, and generating a first network slice selection policy when detecting an operation of associating a first application with the first display interface. The first network slice selection policy can include a mapping relationship between the first application and the identifier of the first network slice corresponding to the first display interface.
