Abstract
A configuration method, a negotiation method, and an apparatus are provided. The configuration method includes: sending, by a network slice management network element, configuration information to a network device, where the configuration information includes information about a network slice and a system feature supported by the network slice; and receiving, by the network slice management network element, a configuration completion indication from the network device. Based on this solution, the related information of the network slice can be configured for the network device.
Claims20
A negotiation method, comprising:
- receiving, by a mobility management network element, a first request message from a terminal device, wherein the first request message comprises information about a first network slice that the terminal device requests to access and a first system feature corresponding to the first network slice;
- obtaining, by the mobility management network element, a second system feature supported by a network for the first network slice;
- determining, by the mobility management network element based on the second system feature and the first system feature, a third system feature corresponding to the first network slice that can be used by the terminal device, wherein the determined third system feature is an intersection set of the second system feature and the first system feature;
- and
- sending, by the mobility management network element, the third system feature corresponding to the first network slice that can be used by the terminal device to the terminal device.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the communications apparatus to:
- receive a first request message from a terminal device, wherein the first request message comprises information about a first network slice that the terminal device requests to access and a first system feature corresponding to the first network slice;
- obtain a second system feature supported by a network for the first network slice;
- determine, based on the second system feature and the first system feature, a third system feature corresponding to the first network slice that can be used by the terminal device, wherein the determined third system feature is an intersection set of the second system feature and the first system feature;
- and
- send the third system feature corresponding to the first network slice that can be used by the terminal device to the terminal device.

- determine, based on the second system feature and the first system feature, a third system feature corresponding to the first network slice that can be used by the terminal device;
- obtain a fourth system feature supported by a core network for the first network slice;
- obtain a fifth system feature supported by an access network device for the first network slice;
- wherein the communication apparatus is configured to obtain the second system feature supported by the network for the first network slice by determining, based on the fourth system feature and the fifth system feature, the second system feature supported by the network for the first network slice;
- and
- send the third system feature corresponding to the first network slice that can be used by the terminal device to the terminal device.
8 more elements
A system, comprising an access network device and a mobility management network element, wherein
