Abstract: Provided are an address coordination method and device, a base station, a session management function (SMF) network element and a storage medium. In a handover process of a terminal from a source base station side to a target base station side, a UPF split state of a PDU session of the terminal may be determined and data transmission tunnel address coordination may be implemented, thereby enhancing flexibility of split control of the PDU session in the handover process of the terminal, preventing the target base station side from executing PDU session resource modify/modification indication and other processes again to perform the data transmission tunnel address coordination after the terminal completes the handover. Resource admission control efficiency of the target base station side can be improved, so that the PDU session enters a reasonable state of UPF split or UPF non-split as soon as possible, and signaling resources between the target base station side and a core network can be saved.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides example traffic routing methods, apparatuses, and systems. One example method includes determining, by a session management network element, a routing rule, where the routing rule indicates a first traffic steering entity to send a first traffic to a first function entity, or send a second traffic to a second function entity or an access device, where the first traffic is a traffic on which first traffic steering control is to be performed, and the second traffic is a traffic on which the first traffic steering control has been performed. The routing rule is sent by the session management network element to the first traffic steering entity in a session management process.

Abstract: In one aspect of the disclosure, a UE may be configured to receive, from a base station, information indicating a reference point associated with at least one L1 measurement; determine a reporting value of the at least one L1 measurement based on a difference between the reference point and a measured value of the at least one L1 measurement; and transmit information indicating the reporting value to the base station. In another aspect, a RAN node can indicate to a UE that a reduced measurement report resolution is to be used for beam measurements in a measurement report. The reduced measurement report resolution is less than a first measurement report resolution previously indicated to be used for the beam measurements. Lower resolution can be obtained by using fewer bits to indicate one or more of the beam measurements. The payload for a measurement report such as a L-SINR or L-RSP L1 measurement report is thereby reduced when the UE transmits the measurement report to the RAN node.
