Abstract

This application provides a network node selection method and apparatus. An SMF network element obtains transmission capability information of an access network device, and selects, for a terminal device based on the transmission capability information of the access network device, a UPF network element that supports at least one transmission capability included in the transmission capability information. In this process, the SMF network element obtains a transmission capability of the access network device, and selects the UPF network element based on the transmission capability of the access network device. The selected UPF network element supports the transmission capability used by the access network device, so that data can be successfully transmitted between the access network device and the UPF network element. Therefore, a data transmission success rate is improved.
