Abstract: A terminal device determines at least one first slice group and a first tracking area (TA) of each first slice group, where the first slice group is a slice group including a network slice that the terminal device intends to access; the terminal device performs neighboring cell measurement based on a priority of each first TA and a frequency priority corresponding to each first slice group, to obtain a target cell that meets a cell reselection condition; and the terminal device determines, based on a second TA, whether to camp on the target cell, where the second TA is a first TA of a second slice group, and the second slice group is a first slice group corresponding to the frequency priority used for neighboring cell measurement through which the target cell is obtained.

Abstract: A communication method and a related apparatus provide for differences between internal resources of a base station to support different slice service capabilities on a RAN side. In the communication method, when a first distributed unit (DU) sets up a connection to a first central unit (CU) but the first CU does not support a first slice, and a second CU supports the first slice, the first DU may establish a connection to the second CU based on transport layer information of the second CU and an identifier or a name of the second CU, or the second CU may update the connection between the first CU and the first DU to a connection between the second CU and the first DU. A difference between internal resources of a base station can be more fully utilized to support different slice service capabilities on a RAN side and improve flexibility and coverage of providing a slice service for user equipment.
