Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a method for detecting an unauthorized uncrewed aerial vehicle, an apparatus, and a system. An AMF sends a tracking indication message to a network device, where the tracking indication message is used to indicate to report attribute information of user equipment in a coverage area of the network device when the attribute information of the user equipment meets a preset condition; and obtains the attribute information of the user equipment. In this way, after the attribute information of the user equipment is obtained, an identity status of the user equipment may be identified based on the attribute information of the user equipment, that is, whether the user equipment is an unauthorized uncrewed aerial vehicle is identified. This implements detection on an unauthorized uncrewed aerial vehicle that has accessed the 3GPP network.

Abstract: This application provides a session handling method, a communications apparatus, and a communications system. The session handling method includes receiving, by an intermediate session management function (SMF), a request message sent by an access and mobility management function (AMF), where the request message includes a session identifier, and the intermediate SMF is an SMF selected by the AMF when user equipment (UE) moves outside of a service area of an anchor SMF. When a session corresponding to the session identifier is a local area data network (LADN) session, rejecting, by the intermediate SMF, the session corresponding to the session identifier. According to the technical solutions provided in this application, the user equipment can no longer access a service of a LADN after moving outside of the service area of the anchor SMF, which avoids a waste of service resources of the LADN.
