Slice information of RA attempts, which are slices, slice or service types, slice groups, will be recorded in the RA report, and these attempted slice information helps the network to re-plan RA resources, but no association with a slice is established in the existing RA report.

And reporting the random access report list to network equipment, wherein the slice information related to the random access in the random access report list is used for adjusting and distributing random access resources for the slices by the network equipment according to the reported slice information related to the random access and the slice information related to the random access, which is received by the network equipment and reported by other network equipment.

The method can be applied to a terminal, a chip, a module, or the like, and the embodiment of the application is not limited.

Wherein the slice information related to random access may include at least one of: information of individual slices, information of slice or service type, information of slice group.

In specific implementation, after the terminal successfully completes the random access step each time, an RA report may be newly added, and the RA report is stored in an RA report list, where the RA report includes basic information such as a cell ID and an access purpose, and specific parameter information of an RA procedure, and the specific parameter information may include information of each RA attempt before this RA success, and the terminal may sense a situation of slice RA access, for example, information of access times, an access success rate, a slice use frequency, and the like, by adding slice information related to an RA in the RA report.

Specifically, after each RA procedure is completed, the terminal records slice information S-NSSAIx, x ═ 1, 2, 3, associated with the RA of this time in the PerRAAttemptInfo-r16 information element of the RA report, and adds the RA report generated this time to the RA report list; after the 3 RA procedures are successfully completed, the PerRAAttemptInfo-r16 information elements in the 3 RA reports in the RA report list of the terminal record different slice information, i.e. S-NSSAI1, S-NSSAI2, S-NSSAI3, as shown in table 1 below,

number of RA successes	Single slice identifier
		1st	S-NSSAI1
2nd	S-NSSAI2
		3rd	S-NSSAI3

TABLE 1

For example, the terminal may report information of slice or service type in the information element per random access attempt information. Specifically, after each RA procedure is completed, the terminal records information of a slice or a service type related to the RA of this time in a PerRAAttemptInfo-r16 information element of the RA report, and adds the RA report generated this time to an RA report list; after 3 successful RA procedures are completed, the PerRAAttemptInfo-r16 information element in 3 RA reports in the terminal's RA report list records different slice or service type information, i.e. 1, 2, 3, as shown in table 2 below,

number of RA successes	Slice or service type
		1st	SST＝1
2nd	SST＝2
		3rd	SST＝3

TABLE 2

For example, the terminal may report the information of the slice group in the information element per random access attempt information. Specifically, after each RA procedure is completed, the terminal records information of the slice group related to this RA, i.e., a slice group identifier (SliceGroupIDx, x ═ 1, 2, 3.) in the PerRAAttemptInfo-r16 information element of the RA report, and adds the R A report generated this time to the RA report list; after the RA procedure is completed 3 times successfully, the perraattatemptnfo-r 16 information elements in the 3 RA reports in the RA report list of the terminal record different slice group information, i.e. SliceGroupID1, SliceGroupID 2 and SliceGroupID3, as shown in table 3 below,

Number of RA successes	Slice group identifier
		1st	SliceGroupID1
2nd	SliceGroupID2
		3rd	SliceGroupID3

TABLE 3

For example, the terminal may report information for a single slice in an information element per random access information. Specifically, after each RA procedure is completed, the terminal records information of the slice group related to the RA of this time, i.e. a slice group identifier (SliceGroupIDx, x ═ 1, 2, 3.) in the perralfo-r 16 information element of the RA report, and adds the RA report generated this time to the RA report list; different slice group information, namely SliceGroupID1, SliceGroupID 2 and SliceGroupID3, are recorded 3 times successfully, as shown in Table 3.
