    Abstract: A method for determining a data forwarding tunnel, an AMF entity, and a base station (BS) are provided. The method includes: receiving data forwarding information of target UE forwarded by MME, and acquiring a QoS flow configured by a 5G core network for each bearer of the target UE, and mapping relationship between a bearer and a QoS flow, where the data forwarding information includes a list of bearers allocated by EPS to the target UE and an indication of a determination by a 4G BS as to whether each bearer of the target UE has data to forward; transmitting the data forwarding information, the configured QoS flow, and the mapping relationship to a target 5G BS; and receiving forwarding tunnel information of a 5G BS configured for the target UE by the target 5G BS according to the data forwarding information, the configured QoS flow, and the mapping relationship.

    Abstract: The present application discloses a method and an apparatus for transmitting downlink data, to resolve the issue of erroneous transmission of downlink data of UE when the UE moves from an EPS network to a 5G network. The method comprises: after receiving a request message for updating a session management context of the UE, a session management function entity in embodiments of the present application determining that the UE has moved from a first network to a second network; the session management function entity notifying a user plane function entity to delete a user plane connection of the UE in the first network, and creating a user plane connection of the UE in the second network, such that the user plane function entity transmits downlink data of the UE through the newly created user plane connection.

    Abstract: A default quality of service (QoS) control method and device for solving the problem in the prior art that there is no solution for generating a default QoS rule for a NextGen network. In embodiments of the present disclosure, an SMF entity determines a target PCC rule from at least one PCC rule sent by a PCF entity; the SMF entity generates, according to the target PCC rule, a default QoS rule corresponding to a PDU session, and sends the default QoS rule to a UE. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, because the connectivity and QoS control of the PDU session are ensured, and the target PCC rule used by the SMF to generate the default QoS rule is determined by the PCF entity for a PDU session of the UE, the precise control for a specific UE and a specific PDU session is implemented, and the system performance is further improved.

    Abstract: A method of inserting a Session Management Function SMF and an access and mobility management function AMF entity are provided. The method of inserting an SMF includes in a case that a User Equipment UE moves out of a service area of a first SMF entity currently serving a first Packet Data Unit PDU session of the UE, or in a case that selecting a SMF entity for the UE is needed, querying, by using information relevant to the UE, a second SMF entity capable of serving the UE; and updating the first PDU session by using the second SMF entity.
