The present disclosure provides a method for establishing a session, which is applied to a terminal device and includes sending a session establishment request to a network device. The session establishment request is used to request to establish a first session. The session establishment request includes first indication information. The first indication information indicates that the first session is a deactivated session or an activated session. The method also includes receiving a response message of the session establishment request from the network device. If the number of DRBs has reached a number threshold, the terminal device can request the network device to establish a deactivated first session via the first indication information. When the number of DRBs is less than the number threshold, the terminal device or the network device can activate the first session.
