Method and device for determining satellite link information

A method for determining satellite link information, which is applied to a user plane function (UPF) network element, comprising:

• determining the satellite link information corresponding to a terminal based on information of a cell in which the terminal is located and network deployment information corresponding to the UPF network element, wherein
• the information of the cell comprises at least one of an identity of the cell or an identity of an access network node to which the cell belongs,
• the network deployment information comprises first deployment information indicating whether a satellite link is available for connection of the UPF network element with the access network node and second deployment information indicating whether the satellite link is available for connection of the access network node with the terminal, and
• the satellite link information comprises at least one of satellite backhaul information related to the connection of the UPF network element with the access network node or satellite access information related to the connection of the access network node with the terminal.
