首先结合图1对发明涉及的分布式网络架构进行说明。
图1是本公开提供的分布式网络架构的结构示意图。如图1所示,分布式网络架构中包括路由器和分布式网络。
分布式网络中包括分布式网络节点。
终端可以通过分布式网络中的分布式网络节点进行地下接入、深空接入、陆地接入和水下接入。
目前,在图1所示的分布式网络架构中,在终端从一个分布式网络节点移动至另外一个分布式网络节点之后,无法保持终端的协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话的连续性。
在相关技术中,通常采用会话和业务的连续性(session and service continuity,SSC)的模式2(mode2)或者模式3(mode3),来实现终端的PDU会话的连续性。在上述相关技术中,在采用SSC的模式2或者模式3实现终端的PDU会话的连续性的情况下,接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)通常是不变化的。
但是在分布式网络架构中,在终端从一个分布式网络节点移动至另外一个分布式网络节点之后,AMF通常会发生变化,因此无法采用相关技术中的SSC的模式2或者模式3实现终端的PDU会话的连续性。
本公开实施例提供了PDU会话的建立方法及装置,用以解决在分布式网 络架构中保持终端的PDU会话的连续性。其中,方法和装置是基于同一申请构思的,由于方法和装置解决问题的原理相似,因此装置和方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。

在一些实施例中,在新AMF根据现有技术选择一个新SMF的基础上,若新SMF获取到旧SMF中的目标DNAI信息,判断无法为当前PDU会话建立到目标DNAI信息指示的数据网络之间的用户面路径(即执行PDU会话的建立成功),此时新AMF选择一个目标网络功能(即I-SMF),I-SMF需满足能够和新SMF协同建立到目标DNAI信息指示的数据网络之间的用户面路径(即执行PDU会话的建立成功)。
