Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a wireless communication method and a device. The method includes: receiving a configuration update command message, where the configuration update command message is used to instruct a terminal device to release a non-access stratum NAS signaling connection with a network device and initiate a mobile registration update procedure; and if a mobility management back-off timer is running at a reception occasion of the configuration update command message, stopping the mobility management back-off timer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless communication method, applied to a terminal device and comprising:
receiving a configuration update command message, wherein the configuration update command message is used to instruct the terminal device to release a non-access stratum NAS signaling connection with a network device and initiate a mobile registration update procedure; and
if a mobility management back-off timer is running at a reception occasion of the configuration update command message, stopping the mobility management back-off timer,
wherein the method further comprises: after stop of the mobility management back-off timer and release of the NAS signaling connection, initiating the mobile registration update procedure,
wherein the mobility management back-off timer is a timer added by a core network device in a rejection message when the core network device, being overloaded, rejects a NAS request message from the terminal device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration update command message comprises a registration requested indication.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises at least one of allowed network slice selection assistance information and configured network slice selection assistance information.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises a network slicing indication information element.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
before release of the NAS signaling connection, executing a configuration update procedure related to the configuration update command message.

6. A wireless communication method, applied to a network device and comprising:
transmitting a configuration update command message, wherein the configuration update command message is used to instruct a terminal device to release a non-access stratum NAS signaling connection with the network device and initiate a mobile registration update procedure; and
if a mobility management back-off timer is running at a transmission occasion of the configuration update command message, stopping the mobility management back-off timer, to cause the network device to, after stop of the mobility management back-off timer, accept a NAS request message initiated by the terminal device,
wherein the mobility management back-off timer is a timer added by a core network device in a rejection message when the core network device, being overloaded, rejects a NAS request message from the terminal device.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the configuration update command message comprises a registration requested indication.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises at least one of allowed network slice selection assistance information and configured network slice selection assistance information.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises a network slicing indication information element.

10. A terminal device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and that can run on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, following steps of a wireless communication method are implemented:
receiving a configuration update command message, wherein the configuration update command message is used to instruct the terminal device to release a non-access stratum NAS signaling connection with a network device and initiate a mobile registration update procedure; and
if a mobility management back-off timer is running at a reception occasion of the configuration update command message, stopping the mobility management back-off timer,
wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor a following step is further implemented:
after stop of the mobility management back-off timer and release of the NAS signaling connection, initiating the mobile registration update procedure,
wherein the mobility management back-off timer is a timer added by a core network device in a rejection message when the core network device, being overloaded, rejects a NAS request message from the terminal device.

11. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the configuration update command message comprises a registration requested indication.

12. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises at least one of allowed network slice selection assistance information and configured network slice selection assistance information.

13. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises a network slicing indication information element.

14. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, a following step is further implemented:
before release of the NAS signaling connection, executing a configuration update procedure related to the configuration update command message.

15. A network device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and that can run on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the steps of the wireless communication method according to claim 6 are implemented.

16. The network device according to claim 15 , wherein the configuration update command message comprises a registration requested indication.

17. The network device according to claim 16 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises at least one of allowed network slice selection assistance information and configured network slice selection assistance information.

18. The network device according to claim 16 , wherein the configuration update command message further comprises a network slicing indication information element.
