This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The communication method includes: A first device receives first information from a second device. The first information includes information about an evaluation value of a first parameter of a first intent. When the evaluation value of the first parameter does not reach an expression value of the first parameter, the first device sends second information to the second device. The second information is used to enable the evaluation value of the first parameter to reach the expression value of the first parameter. In this way, the first device may perform an intent management operation based on information about the evaluation value and the expression value of the first parameter. This avoids a case in which the expression value of the intent parameter is improperly adjusted, and improves system running performance.

The first network device connects the first service flow of the at least one second terminal device to the target radio access network device.

Service traffic steering method and apparatus

An intent maintenance method and an apparatus provides a status awareness module that obtains a first duration corresponding to an intent. The status awareness module receives from a policy management module first information indicating that a first executable command corresponding to the intent starts to be executed. The status awareness module determines second duration when execution duration of the first executable command reaches the first duration and an object of the intent is not achieved, the second duration being greater than the first duration, and sends second information to the policy management module.

Intent maintenance method and apparatus

An intent state management method, network element, and system are described. A first network element obtains a first network parameter value corresponding to an intent; and determines, based on the first network parameter value corresponding to the intent, that a condition for achieving the intent is not satisfied. In accordance with the determination, the first network element suspends execution of the intent, sends a first notification message to a second network element, where the first notification message notifies the intent to enter a sleep state; and sets the sleep state to an active state when the condition for achieving the intent is satisfied or the intent is modified. Network resources of the first network element can be saved. When the condition for achieving the intent is satisfied or the intent is modified, the intent enters the active state, so that a state of the intent can be adjusted in time.

Traffic data is divided into data streams corresponding to workloads, and the data streams are multiplexed onto slice segments based on a multiplexing requirement or rule. Each slice segment is a physical or virtual processing element in a wireless network supporting network slicing. In one example, the data streams are multiplexed onto the slice segments such that data streams having different utility definitions are assigned to different slice segments. In another example, the data streams are multiplexed onto the slice segments such that workloads in the same cluster partitioned in a T-dimensional vector space are assigned to different slice segments.
