Abstract
This disclosure provides an emergency handling method, comprising: receiving, by an emergency support function (ESF) entity, an emergency indicator indicating an emergency event from a network application server; handling the emergency indictor to derive related parameters including impacted network elements in a network; and triggering the impacted network elements to switch into a network emergency mode by sending an emergency command based on the related parameters. An emergency handling apparatus in a network is also provided. This improves efficiency of emergency handling in a network.
