Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de commande d'accès à une tranche de réseau et un appareil de communication. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: un élément de réseau à fonction de gestion de session reçoit une seconde information en provenance d'un élément de réseau à fonction de contrôle de politique ou d'un référentiel de données unifié ou d'un élément de réseau à fonction de gestion de données unifié; et l'élément de réseau à fonction de gestion de session autorise, sur la base de la seconde information, une première session d'unité de données de paquet (PDU) dans une première tranche de réseau ou la première tranche de réseau ne devant pas être soumise à une contrôle d'accès de tranche de réseau. Sur la base du procédé selon la présente invention, un élément de réseau à fonction de gestion de session peut permettre, de manière opportune et sur la base d'une seconde information qui est transmise par un élément de réseau à fonction de contrôle de politique ou un référentiel de données unifié ou un élément de réseau à fonction de gestion de données unifié, une première session d'unité PDU ou une première tranche de réseau ne devant pas être soumise à un contrôle d'accès de tranche de réseau, permettant ainsi d'éviter l'interruption ou l'échec d'initiation d'un service prioritaire.
