Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a session management method, an interworking method between different systems, and a network apparatus. The session management method includes: when establishing a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) flow of a terminal device in a first communications system, determining, by a session management network element in the first communications system, that the GBR flow is a GBR flow required for handing over the terminal device from the first communications system to a second communications system; and establishing, by the session management network element for the GBR flow, a session context corresponding to the second communications system. The methods and the network apparatus are used to resolve a technical problem of resource waste existing in a handover method in the prior art.
