网络切片(slice)可以为特定用户提供一个完整的端到端虚拟网络。通过将网络资源划分为多个网络切片,5G网络切片可以为具有不同服务需求(例如:延迟、可靠性、容量、隔离以及其他功能)的用户提供差异化服务。
运营商网络将不但可以服务于以“尽力而为(Best Effort)传输”为通信需求特征的信息消费类业务,也可以满足以“确定性传输”为通信需求的生产控制类服务:通信需求迥异的服务分配逻辑上或者物理上隔离的网络资源。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的,而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式,除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解,本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解,尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语第一、第二、第三等来描述各种信息,但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。例如,在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下,第一信息也可以被称为第二信息,类似地,第二信息也可以被称为第一信息。取决于语境,如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。

图1是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种能力指示方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的能力指示方法可以由终端执行,所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。所述终端可以与网络侧设备通信,所述网络侧设备包括但不限于4G、5G、6G等通信系统中的网络侧设备,例如基站、核心网等通信装置。
如图1所示,所述能力指示方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤S101中,向网络侧设备发送能力指示信息,其中,所述能力指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持切片分组(slice group)。
在一个实施例中,网络侧设备为终端配置的切片信息主要包括两种形式,一种是单个切片的形式,另一种是切片分组的形式。
由于不同终端的能力不同,有的终端支持切片分组(也支持单个切片),有的终端则只支持单个切片,而不支持切片分组,若网络侧设备没有考虑终端的能力向终端发送切片信息,将可能导致终端无能准确识别切片信息。
例如,终端A支持切片分组,包括支持以切片分组的形式接收切片信息;终端B只支持单个切片,包括仅支持以单个切片的形式接收切片信息。若对于终端B,网络侧设备配置的切片信息为切片分组形式的切片信息,那么终端B将不能准确识别网络侧设备发送的切片信息,进而导致终端B后续根据切片信息执行的操作出现错误。
根据本公开的实施例,终端可以向网络侧设备发送能力指示信息,通过能力指示信息告知网络侧设备,所述终端是否支持切片分组,从而使得网络侧设备可以将终端的能力指示信息作为辅助信息,来确定向终端指示的切片信息的形式,以便确保终端能够准确识别切片信息,进而正确执行后续根据切片信息执行的动作。
例如对于上述终端B,网络侧设备发送的切片信息的形式为单个切片的形式,从而确保终端B能够准确识别接收到的切片信息,进而根据识别的切片信息正确地执行后续东走。而对于终端A,由于既支持切片分组,又支持单个切片,那么网络侧设备发送的切片信息的形式可以是单个切片的形式,也可以是切片分组的形式。
需要说明的是,终端向网络侧设备发送的所述能力指示信息,对于网络侧设备只是一种辅助信息,也即所述能力指示信息并不能决定网络侧设备的动作,只是作为网络侧设备执行动作的一种参考。
换句话说,对于上述终端B,网络侧设备在考虑能力指示信息的情况下,向终端B发送的切片信息的形式为单个切片的形式;而网络侧设备也可以不考虑能力指示信息,那么向终端B发送的切片信息的形式既可以单个切片的形式,也可以为切片分组的形式。
在一个实施例中,终端根据切片信息执行的动作可以有多种,包括但不限于小区重选(例如在空闲态、非激活态进行)、随机接入等;相应地,网络侧设备向终端发送的切片信息,也可以包括小区重选相关的切片信息、随机接入相关的切片信息。
以下分别从小区重选、随机接入两方面,对本公开的能力指示信息进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中,网络侧设备向终端发送切片信息的方式主要包括两种:一种是广播的方式,例如在系统信息块SIB(System Information Block)中携带切片信息;另一种是单播的方式,例如在无线资源控制RRC(Radio Resource Control)消息中携带切片信息,进一步例如可以携带在RRCRelease(RRC释放)消息中。
在通过RRCRelease消息携带切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备在向终端发送RRCRelease消息之前,已经与终端建立了通信连接,因此,可以接收终端上报的所述能力指示信息,进而确定终端是否按照支持切片分组的形式接收切片信息。
例如网络侧设备需要向终端发送小区重选的切片信息,例如与切片关联的小区频率优先级,当网络侧设备根据所述能力指示信息确定终端支持切片分组,网络侧设备可以选择向终端发送与切片分组关联的小区频率优先级;所述能力指示信息也可以指示终端支持的单个切片,网络侧设备可以选择向终端发送与单个切片关联的小区频率优先级;所述能力指示信息还可以指示终端不支持切片分组,也不支持单个切片,网络侧设备可以选择以传统(legacy)形式向终端发送小区频率优先级,也即小区频率优先级与切片不不关联。
在一个实施例中,终端向网络侧设备上报的能力指示信息,指示所述终端是否支持切片分组,其中,能力指示信息主要包括两种形式:一种是能力指示信息直接指示所述终端是否支持切片分组;另一种是能力指示信息指示间接信息,例如并不直接指示所述终端是否支持切片分组,而是指示终端是否支持基于切片分组信息执行一些操作。以下实施例主要针对能力指示信息的这两种形式进行实例性说明。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第一指示信息指示终端是否支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选。
在确定终端支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息,在确定终端不支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息。其中,小区重选相关信息包括但不限于小区频率优先级。
例如,第一指示信息的形式可以如下表1所示:
Figure PCTCN2022075541-appb-000001
表1
其中,第一指示信息可以包括参数定义(Definitions for parameters)、针对的每个对象(Per)、是否强制(Mandatory,简称M)、对于频分复用(Frequency-division Duplex,FDD)和时分复用(Time-division Duplex,TDD)是否不同FDD-TDD DIFF,对于FR1频段和FR2频段是否不同FR1-FR2 DIFF。
例如其中针对的每个对象为,用户设备UE;
是否强制:不强制No;
对于频分复用和时分复用是否不同:并非不同No;
对于FR1频段和FR2频段是否不同:并非不同No。
这几项内容与后续实施例中其他指示信息可以是相同的,也可以是不同的,以下实施例主要在相同的情况下进行示例,具体主要描述参数定义这项内容的差异。
第一指示信息中参数定义可以包括名称以及具体的指示内容,例如名称可以是slicegroupInfoforCellReselection-r17,也即用于R17中小区重选的切片分组信息,指示的内容可以为:
Indicates whether the UE supports slicegroupInformation on RRC release for slice based cell reselection in RRC_IDLE and RRC INACTIVE);
也即指示RRC空闲态和RRC非激活态的UE是否支持基于RRCRelease消息中切片分组信息的小区重选。
其中,本公开所有实施例中的RRC空闲态和RRC非激活态可以如TS 38.304[21]所定义的。
需要说明的是,在本公开的所有实施例中,以切片分组的形式向终端发送信息,包括向终端发送的信息与切片分组的标识相关联;以单个切片的形式向终端发送信息,包括向终端发送的信息与单个切片的标识相关联,例如与S-NSSAI(Single-Network slice selection assistance information,单一网络切片选择辅助信息)相关联。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第十一指示信息,所述第十一指示信 息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于RRCRelease消息中切片分组信息的小区重选。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第二指示信息指示终端是否支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选。其中,可以约定能力指示信息在指示支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选时,默认不支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选,在指示不支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选时,默认支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选。
在确定终端支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息,在确定终端不支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息。其中,小区重选相关信息包括但不限于小区频率优先级。
例如,第二指示信息的形式可以如下表2所示:
Figure PCTCN2022075541-appb-000002
表2
其中,第二指示信息可以包括Definitions for parameters、Per、M、FDD-TDD DIFF,FR1-FR2 DIFF等。
第二指示信息中参数定义可以包括名称以及具体的指示内容,例如名称可以是S-NSSAIInfoforCellReselection-r17,也即用于R17中小区重选的单个切片信息(单个切片通过S-NSSAI表示),指示的内容可以为:
Indicates whether the UE supports S-NSSAIInformation on RRC release for slice based cell reselection in RRC_IDLE and RRC INACTIVE;
也即指示RRC空闲态和RRC非激活态的UE是否支持基于RRCRelease消息中单个切片信息的小区重选。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第十二指示信息,所述第十二指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于RRCRelease消息中单个切片信息的小区重选。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第三指示信息,所述第三指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持切片分组信息。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第三指示信息直接指示终端是否支持切片分组信息。
在确定终端支持切片分组信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送切片信息,在确定终端不支持切片分组信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送切片信息。
例如,第三指示信息的形式可以如下表3所示:
Figure PCTCN2022075541-appb-000003
表3
其中,第三指示信息可以包括Definitions for parameters、Per、M、FDD-TDD DIFF,FR1-FR2 DIFF等。
第三指示信息中参数定义可以包括名称以及具体的指示内容,例如名称可以是slicegroup,也即切片分组,指示的内容可以为:
Indicates whether the UE supports slicegroupInformation;
也即指示UE是否支持切片分组信息。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第四指示信息,所述第四指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持单个切片信息。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第四指示信息直接指示终端是否支持单个切片信息。其中,可以约定能力指示信息在指示支持单个切片信息时,默认不支持切片分组信息,在指示不支持单个切片信息时,默认支持切片分组信息。
在确定终端支持单个切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送切片信息,在确定终端不支持单个切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送切片信息。
例如,第四指示信息的形式可以如下表4所示:
Figure PCTCN2022075541-appb-000004
表4
其中,第四指示信息可以包括Definitions for parameters、Per、M、FDD-TDD DIFF,FR1-FR2 DIFF等。
第四指示信息中参数定义可以包括名称以及具体的指示内容,例如名称可以是S-NSSAIInfo-r17,也即R17中的单个切片信息(单个切片通过S-NSSAI表示),指示的内容可以为:
Indicates whether the UE supports S-NSSAIInformation;
也即指示UE是否支持单个切片信息。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括切片支持指示信息,所述切片支持指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于切片信息的小区重选。
由于切片支持指示信息仅能指示终端针对切片信息的支持情况,并不能指示具体支持切片分组还是支持单个切片,因此,在一个实施例中,在指示信息包括切片支持指示信息的基础上,可以设置指示信息包括上述第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息和第四指示信息中的至少一项信息,以进一步指示终端具体支持切片分组还是支持单个切片,确保指示的准确度。
例如以网络侧设备向终端发送小区重选相关信息为例:
在切片支持指示信息指示终端支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终端支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括切片分组标识和与切片分组标识关联的dedicated(专用)频率优先级;
在切片支持指示信息指示终端支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终端不支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括单个切片标识和与单个切片标识关联的dedicated频率优先级;
在切片支持指示信息指示终端不支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终端支持切片分组信息,可以在SIB中携带频率优先级向终端发送;
在切片支持指示信息指示终端不支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终 端不支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括可以发送传统的dedicated频率优先级。
在切片支持指示信息指示终端支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若未确定终端是否支持切片分组信息,可以默认终端支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括切片分组标识和与切片分组标识关联的dedicated频率优先级,或者默认终端支持单个切片信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括单个切片标识和与单个切片标识关联的dedicated频率优先级。
在一个实施例中,指示信息可以不包括切片支持指示信息,而仅包括第一指示信息或者第二指示信息。由于第一指示信息或者第二指示信息已经指示了对于切片分组信息的支持情况,可以无需通过两个层次的指示信息分别指示对于切片信息的支持情况和切片分组信息的支持情况,有利于降低指示的复杂度。
例如以网络侧设备向终端发送小区重选相关信息为例:
网络侧设备在根据第一指示信息确定终端支持切片分组信息时,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括切片分组标识和与切片分组标识关联的dedicated频率优先级;
网络侧设备在根据第一指示信息确定终端不支持切片分组信息时,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括传统的dedicated频率优先级,或者,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括单个切片标识和与单个切片标识关联的dedicated频率优先级;

例如,第五指示信息的形式可以如下表5所示:

表5
其中,第五指示信息可以包括Definitions for parameters、Per、M、FDD-TDD DIFF,FR1-FR2 DIFF等。

图2是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种能力确定方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的能力确定方法可以由网络侧设备执行,所述网络侧设备可以与终端通信,所述网络侧设备包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信系统中的基站,所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备(例如NB-IoT、MTC、eMTC)等通信装置。
如图2所示,所述能力确定方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤S201中,接收终端发送的能力指示信息;
在步骤S202中,根据所述能力指示信息确定所述终端是否支持切片分组。
在一个实施例中,网络侧设备为终端配置的切片信息主要包括两种形式,一种是单个切片的形式,另一种是切片分组的形式。
由于不同终端的能力不同,有的终端支持切片分组(也支持单个切片),有的终端则只支持单个切片,而不支持切片分组,若网络侧设备没有考虑终端的能力向终端发送切片信息,将可能导致终端无能准确识别切片信息。
例如,终端A支持切片分组,包括支持以切片分组的形式接收切片信息;终端B只支持单个切片,包括仅支持以单个切片的形式接收切片信息。若对于终端B,网络侧设备配置的切片信息为切片分组形式的切片信息,那么终端B将不能准确识别网络侧设备发送的切片信息,进而导致终端B后续根据切片信息执行的操作出现错误。
根据本公开的实施例,终端可以向网络侧设备发送能力指示信息,通过能力指示信息告知网络侧设备,所述终端是否支持切片分组,从而使得网络侧设备可以将终端的能力指示信息作为辅助信息,来确定向终端指示的切片信息的形式,以便确保终端能够准确识别切片信息,进而正确执行后续根据切片信息执行的动作。
例如对于上述终端B,网络侧设备发送的切片信息的形式为单个切片的形式,从而确保终端B能够准确识别接收到的切片信息,进而根据识别的切片信息正确地执行后续东走。而对于终端A,由于既支持切片分组,又支持单个切片,那么网络侧设备发送的切片信息的形式可以是单个切片的形式,也可以是切片分组的形式。
需要说明的是,终端向网络侧设备发送的所述能力指示信息,对于网络侧设备只是一种辅助信息,也即所述能力指示信息并不能决定网络侧设备的动作,只是作为 网络侧设备执行动作的一种参考。
换句话说,对于上述终端B,网络侧设备在考虑能力指示信息的情况下,向终端B发送的切片信息的形式为单个切片的形式;而网络侧设备也可以不考虑能力指示信息,那么向终端B发送的切片信息的形式既可以单个切片的形式,也可以为切片分组的形式。
在一个实施例中,在所述网络侧设备为基站的情况下,在接收终端发送的能力指示信息后,可以将所述能力指示信息发送给邻基站(例如通过Xn接口发送),以便邻基站可以将终端的能力指示信息作为辅助信息,来确定向终端指示的切片信息的形式。
在一个实施例中,所述终端在从源基站切换到目标基站时,终端可以在切换请求消息中携带所述能力指示信息发送至目标基站,以便目标基站可以将终端的能力指示信息作为辅助信息,来确定向终端指示的切片信息的形式。
在一个实施例中,终端根据切片信息执行的动作可以有多种,包括但不限于小区重选(例如在空闲态、非激活态进行)、随机接入等;相应地,网络侧设备向终端发送的切片信息,也可以包括小区重选相关的切片信息、随机接入相关的切片信息。
以下分别从小区重选、随机接入两方面,对本公开的能力指示信息进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中,网络侧设备向终端发送切片信息的方式主要包括两种:一种是广播的方式,例如在系统信息块SIB(System Information Block)中携带切片信息;另一种是单播的方式,例如在无线资源控制RRC(Radio Resource Control)消息中携带切片信息,进一步例如可以携带在RRCRelease(释放)消息中。
在通过RRCRelease消息携带切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备在向终端发送RRCRelease消息之前,已经与终端建立了通信连接,因此,可以接收终端上报的所述能力指示信息,进而确定终端是否按照支持切片分组的形式接收切片信息。
例如网络侧设备需要向终端发送小区重选的切片信息,例如与切片关联的小区频率优先级,当网络侧设备根据所述能力指示信息确定终端支持切片分组,网络侧设备可以选择向终端发送与切片分组关联的小区频率优先级;所述能力指示信息也可以指示终端支持的单个切片,网络侧设备可以选择向终端发送与单个切片关联的小区频率优先级;所述能力指示信息还可以指示终端不支持切片分组,也不支持单个切片, 网络侧设备可以选择以传统(legacy)形式向终端发送小区频率优先级,也即小区频率优先级与切片不不关联。
在一个实施例中,终端向网络侧设备上报的能力指示信息,指示所述终端是否支持切片分组,其中,能力指示信息主要包括两种形式:一种是能力指示信息直接指示所述终端是否支持切片分组;另一种是能力指示信息指示间接信息,例如并不直接指示所述终端是否支持切片分组,而是指示终端是否支持基于切片分组信息执行一些操作。以下实施例主要针对能力指示信息的这两种形式进行实例性说明。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选;
所述根据所述能力指示信息确定所述终端是否支持切片分组包括:
根据所述第一指示信息确定所述终端是否支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第一指示信息指示终端是否支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选。
在确定终端支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息,在确定终端不支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息。其中,小区重选相关信息包括但不限于小区频率优先级。
例如,第一指示信息的形式可以如下
需要说明的是,在本公开的所有实施例中,以切片分组的形式向终端发送信息,包括向终端发送的信息与切片分组的标识相关联;以单个切片的形式向终端发送信息,包括向终端发送的信息与单个切片的标识相关联,例如与S-NSSAI(Single-Network slice selection assistance information,单一网络切片选择辅助信息)相关联。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选;
所述根据所述能力指示信息确定所述终端是否支持切片分组包括:
根据所述第二指示信息确定所述终端是否支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第二指示信息指示终端是否支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选。其中,可以约定能力指示信息在 指示支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选时,默认不支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选,在指示不支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选时,默认支持基于切片分组信息的小区重选。
在确定终端支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息,在确定终端不支持基于单个切片信息的小区重选的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送小区重选相关信息。其中,小区重选相关信息包括但不限于小区频率优先级。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第三指示信息,所述第三指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持切片分组信息;
所述根据所述能力指示信息确定所述终端是否支持切片分组包括:
根据所述第三指示信息确定所述终端是否支持切片分组信息。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第三指示信息直接指示终端是否支持切片分组信息。
在确定终端支持切片分组信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送切片信息,在确定终端不支持切片分组信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送切片信息。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括第四指示信息,所述第四指示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持单个切片信息;
所述根据所述能力指示信息确定所述终端是否支持切片分组包括:
根据所述第四指示信息确定所述终端是否支持单个切片信息。
在本实施例中,指示信息指示终端是否支持切片分组,可以是通过第四指示信息直接指示终端是否支持单个切片信息。其中,可以约定能力指示信息在指示支持单个切片信息时,默认不支持切片分组信息,在指示不支持单个切片信息时,默认支持切片分组信息。
在确定终端支持单个切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以单个切片的形式向终端发送切片信息,在确定终端不支持单个切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备可以选择以切片分组的形式向终端发送切片信息。
在一个实施例中,所述能力指示信息包括切片支持指示信息,所述切片支持指 示信息用于指示所述终端是否支持基于切片信息的小区重选。
由于切片支持指示信息仅能指示终端针对切片信息的支持情况,并不能指示具体支持切片分组还是支持单个切片,因此,在一个实施例中,在指示信息包括切片支持指示信息的基础上,可以设置指示信息包括上述第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息和第四指示信息中的至少一项信息,以进一步指示终端具体支持切片分组还是支持单个切片,确保指示的准确度。
例如以网络侧设备向终端发送小区重选相关信息为例:
在切片支持指示信息指示终端支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终端支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括切片分组标识和与切片分组标识关联的dedicated(专用)频率优先级;
在切片支持指示信息指示终端支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终端不支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括单个切片标识和与单个切片标识关联的dedicated频率优先级;
在切片支持指示信息指示终端不支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终端支持切片分组信息,可以在SIB中携带频率优先级向终端发送;
在切片支持指示信息指示终端不支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若确定终端不支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括可以发送传统的dedicated频率优先级。
在切片支持指示信息指示终端支持切片信息的情况下,网络侧设备若未确定终端是否支持切片分组信息,可以默认终端支持切片分组信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括切片分组标识和与切片分组标识关联的dedicated频率优先级,或者默认终端支持单个切片信息,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括单个切片标识和与单个切片标识关联的dedicated频率优先级。
在一个实施例中,指示信息可以不包括切片支持指示信息,而仅包括第一指示信息或者第二指示信息。由于第一指示信息或者第二指示信息已经指示了对于切片分组信息的支持情况,可以无需通过两个层次的指示信息分别指示对于切片信息的支持情况和切片分组信息的支持情况,有利于降低指示的复杂度。
例如以网络侧设备向终端发送小区重选相关信息为例:
网络侧设备在根据第一指示信息确定终端支持切片分组信息时,向终端发送的小区重选相关信息可以包括切片分组标识和与切片分组标识关联的dedicated频率优先级;
