Abstract
The present disclosure relates to communication methods, apparatuses, mediums, and chips. In one example communication method, a target access network device receives first information, where the first information indicates a relationship between a first network slice in a first network and a second network slice in a second network, and the first network is different from the second network. The target access network device performs access control from a terminal device to the target access network device based on at least the first information.
Claims19
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a target access network device, first information from a core network device, wherein the first information indicates a relationship between a first network slice in a first network and a second network slice in a second network, and the first network is different from the second network;
- receiving, by the target access network device, second information from a source access network device, wherein the second information comprises an identifier of a third network slice allowed to be used by a terminal device in the second network;
- and
- performing, by the target access network device, access control from the terminal device to the target access network device based on at least the first information and the second information, wherein performing access control from the terminal device to the target access network device comprises determining whether the terminal device is allowed to access a target network supported by the target access network device.
A communication apparatus, implemented at a target access network device, comprising:
- a first receiver, the first receiver configured to receive first information, wherein the first information indicates a relationship between a first network slice in a first network and a second network slice in a second network, and the first network is different from the second network;
- a second receiver, the second receiver configured to receive second information from a source access network device, wherein the second information comprises an identifier of a third network slice allowed to be used by a terminal device in the second network;
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to perform access control from the terminal device to the target access network device based on at least the first information and the second information, wherein performing access control from the terminal device to the target access network device comprises determining whether the terminal device is allowed to access a target network supported by the target access network device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a target access network device, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving first information, wherein the first information indicates a relationship between a first network slice in a first network and a second network slice in a second network, and the first network is different from the second network;
- receiving second information from a source access network device, wherein the second information comprises an identifier of a third network slice allowed to be used by a terminal device in the second network;
- and
- performing access control from the terminal device to the target access network device based on at least the first information and the second information, wherein performing access control from the terminal device to the target access network device comprises determining whether the terminal device is allowed to access a target network supported by the target access network device.
