  • Patent number: 12231946
    Abstract: A communications method and apparatus, where the method includes: sending, by a session management network element, first indication information when the session management network element determines, based on first information, to establish a first low-latency service flow for a session, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate to set the session to an always-on session. According to solutions of this application, when determining to establish the low-latency service flow, the session management network element flexibly indicates to a terminal apparatus to set the session to the always-on session. This avoids a resource waste caused by setting the session to the always-on session all the time, and avoids a transmission latency caused when the session is not set to the always-on session in time, such that resource utilization and transmission efficiency are improved.
