Abstract:
A RAN node apparatus (1) transmits, to a User Equipment (UE) (3), in a cell served by the RAN node apparatus (10), information indicating a network slice supported by another RAN node (2) that can be used as a secondary node in dual connectivity in which the RAN node apparatus acts as a master node. This can contribute, for example, to allowing the UE to know a network slice supported by a potential secondary node of dual connectivity through a potential master node of the dual connectivity.
