When a non-access stratum (NAS) message is generated in an NAS layer of a user equipment, the NAS layer transfers the NAS message and type information to an access stratum (AS) layer of the user equipment. An AS message containing the NAS message is transmitted to a network. The type information indicates whether the NAS message is a first type message containing user data or a second type message without user data.

A method and an apparatus for session reestablishment, an Access and Mobility Management Function entity AMF, a Session Management Function entity SMF and a terminal are provided. The method includes: AMF obtaining a Non-Access Stratum NAS message transmitted by a terminal, where the NAS message is to request to establish a new packet data unit PDU session connected to a same data network as an initial PDU session, and the NAS message carries first identification information of the initial PDU session and second identification information of the new PDU session assigned by the terminal; and transmitting a session management request to SMF corresponding to the first identification information. The session management request carries the first identification information and the second identification information, and the session management request is to cause the SMF to establish the new PDU session based on the first identification information and the second identification information. The new PDU session is connected to the SMF selected for the initial PDU session.

Provided are an architecture, method and apparatus for realizing communication between network functions. The network function establishes interworking with other communication domains via the interface function. An interworking interface between a network function and a selected interface function is identical to an interworking interface between the network function and a destination network function. With the architecture, the network function and the interface function are decoupled. The interworking between network functions within the communication domain and the interworking between the network function within the communication domain and the network function outside the communication domain are achieved by using only one type of interworking interface.

A wireless communication system includes a control device and at least one communication device. The control device includes a scheduler configured to generate control information for a process of a physical layer in wireless communication between the communication device and a terminal, an encoding unit configured to generate encoded data by performing encoding on data to be transmitted to the terminal on the basis of the control information, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the control information to the communication device when the control information is generated and transmits the encoded data to the communication device when the encoded data is generated. The communication device includes a reception unit configured to the control information and the encoded data from the control device; and a signal processing unit configured to perform signal processing for transmitting the encoded data received by the reception unit to the terminal on the basis of the control information received by the reception unit.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method may include transmitting a first signal instructing a user equipment (UE) to transition a state of a secondary cell associated with the UE; determining an allocation of resources for the UE to communicate with the secondary cell; and transmitting a second signal including an indication of an active bandwidth part (BWP) used for the allocation of resources based on the determining. The active BWP and the first signal may indicate the transition of the state of the secondary cell.
