Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif destinés à être utilisés dans la transmission de données d'une tranche de réseau, en relation avec le domaine technique de la communication radio, permettant de résoudre le problème selon lequel un UE dans un état désactivé ne peut pas accomplir avec succès un service NSSAI lorsque la cellule dans laquelle réside l'UE ne prend pas en charge le service NSSAI. Dans la solution proposée dans la présente demande, lorsque la transmission de données de service NSSAI est requise, l'UE peut accomplir avec succès, sur la base d'informations d'indication de RNA reçues de cette manière pour indiquer qu'une ou plusieurs cellules peuvent prendre en charge le service NSSAI, la transmission de données de service du service NSSAI en accédant à une cellule prenant en charge le service NSSAI.
