    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a group communications method and system, and a device. The method includes: when a first terminal initiates access to a local area network group, obtaining, by a group management function network element, an identifier of a first user plane network element to be accessed by the first terminal, context information of the local area network group, and a first session port identifier; creating, for the local area network group, a rule group applied to a first session port, and creating or updating, for the local area network group based on the context information, a local area network group FAR applied to the first user plane network element; and sending a first message to a session management network element, for configuring the rule group on the first session port, and configuring the local area network group FAR on the first user plane network element.

    Abstract: This application provides a method and an apparatus for determining an ethernet MAC address. The method includes: receiving, by a first network device, a first ethernet MAC address from a terminal; and determining, by the first network device, whether the first ethernet MAC address can uniquely identify the terminal or a PDU session of the terminal within a global network range, and sending indication information to the terminal based on a determining result, where the indication information is used to determine a source MAC address of a packet sent by the terminal, and the source MAC address is an ethernet MAC address that can uniquely identify the terminal or the PDU session of the terminal within the global network range.

    Abstract: A mobility management method and apparatus are provided, to flexibly switch a forwarding path, and ensure service continuity in a movement process of a terminal device. The method includes: A control plane network element determines a changed media access control address MAC address of a first terminal device after the first terminal device moves. Then, the control plane network element determines at least one second terminal device that belongs to a same terminal device group as the first terminal device, where the first terminal device is a terminal device whose address changes after the movement, and the at least one second terminal device is a terminal device other than the first terminal device in the terminal device group. Finally, the control plane network element notifies the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device to update to the changed MAC address of the first terminal device.

    Abstract: This application provides example data communication methods and apparatuses. One example method includes, after a terminal device is handed over to a first base station and the first base station receives data sent by a switch, generating, by the first base station, second indication information. The second indication information is used to indicate a second base station to stop receiving the data sent by the switch. The first base station can then send the second indication information to the second base station. After receiving a feedback acknowledgment of the second base station for the second indication information, the first base station can then send, to the terminal device, the data sent by the switch.

    Abstract: This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The method includes: After receiving a first packet from a first device, a first user plane network element determines a user plane LAN identifier corresponding to the first packet, where the user plane LAN identifier is an identifier that is in a user plane and that is of a LAN group to which the terminal belongs, and one user plane LAN identifier corresponds to one LAN group. That is, a function of the user plane LAN identifier is to isolate user plane packets of different LAN groups. Then, the first user plane network element sends the first packet to a second device based on the user plane LAN identifier and a destination address included in the first packet, so that the first packet sent by one terminal in the LAN group is sent to another terminal in the LAN group.
