Abstract

Les modes de réalisation de la présente invention relèvent du domaine technique des communications. Sont divulgués un procédé et un appareil de libération de session. Le procédé comprend les étapes au cours desquelles : un terminal reçoit des premières informations provenant d'un dispositif de réseau d'accès; en fonction des premières informations, le terminal détermine que le dispositif de réseau d'accès ne prend pas en charge une première tranche de réseau; et le terminal libère une première session établie sur la première tranche de réseau. Par conséquent, d'après les modes de réalisation de la présente invention, le terminal reçoit une signalisation provenant du dispositif de réseau d'accès de façon à déterminer une tranche de réseau qui n'est pas prise en charge par le dispositif de réseau d'accès, ce qui facilite la libération rapide d'une session établie sur la tranche de réseau. Une interaction de signalisation au cours du processus de libération de la session s'en trouve réduite. De plus, le surdébit de signalisation et le gaspillage de ressources de réseau sont évités.
