Signaling Transmission Interface Compatibility Method and Apparatus

This application provides a signaling transmission interface compatibility method and apparatus. The method includes: A first network element obtains capability information of an access and mobility management function network element, where the capability information is used to indicate that the access and mobility management function network element has a capability of performing signaling transmission with a radio access network through a target interface function network element. The first network element selects the target interlace function network element based on the capability information, where the target interface function network element is used for signaling transmission between the access and mobility management function network element and the radio access network. Therefore, according to the technical solutions provided in this application, the first network element obtains the capability information of the access and mobility management function network element, and selects the corresponding target interlace function network element based on the capability information.
