sending, by the node containing the public service entity, the received message to the second registered node within the selected time in accordance with the communication manner for message transmission selected by the first registered node.

18. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

when a first registered node sends a message to a second registered node, sending, by the first registered node, the message to be sent to the second registered node to the node containing the public service entity, and indicating that a destination of the message is the second registered node;

setting, by the node containing the public service entity, a message transmission policy according to an access schedule and network communication information of the second registered node in combination with a transmission policy of the node containing the public service entity; and

sending, by the node containing the public service entity, the message to be sent to the second registered node to the second registered node according to the set transmission policy.

19. The method according to claim 3, further comprising:

when a first registered node sends a message to a second registered node, sending, by the first registered node, the message to be sent to the second registered node to the node containing the public service entity, and indicating that a destination of the message is the second registered node;

setting, by the node containing the public service entity, a message transmission policy according to an access schedule and network communication information of the second registered node in combination with a transmission policy of the node containing the public service entity; and

sending, by the node containing the public service entity, the message to be sent to the second registered node to the second registered node according to the set transmission policy.

20. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

when a first registered node is to send a message to a second registered node, sending, by the first registered node, the message to be sent to the second registered node to a first-hop node containing a public service entity, wherein it is indicated that a destination of the message is the second registered node;

when the first-hop node containing the public service entity determines that multiple hops exist between the first registered node and the second registered node, selecting a message transmission route according to a policy, analyzing an access schedule and network communication information needing to be transmitted to a next-hop node, configuring a message transmission policy based on a transmission policy of the first-hop node containing the public service entity, and sending the message to a next-hop node containing a public service entity; and

by this analogy, configuring, by a final-hop node containing a public service entity, a message transmission policy according to an access schedule and network communication information of the second registered node in combination with a transmission policy of the final-hop node containing the public service entity, and sending the message to the second registered node in accordance with the configured message transmission policy.
