Abstract
Network slice information indicating a characteristic of a wireless network to be provided by a base station is acquired, and whether the base station provides a predetermined network slice is determined based on the acquired network slice information. If a determination that the base station does not provide the predetermined network slice is made, connection processing for connection between a communication apparatus and the base station is canceled, or connection between the communication apparatus and the base station is disconnected.
Claims20
A communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory that stores a set of instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions, the instructions, when executed, causing the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- acquiring network slice information indicating a characteristic of a wireless network to be provided by a first base station;
- determining, before completion of connection processing for connection with the first base station, whether a predetermined network slice is provided when becoming connected to the first base station, based on the acquired network slice information;
- and
- cancelling connection processing for wireless connection with the first base station in a case where it is determined that the predetermined network slice is not provided when becoming connected to the first base station.
