11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, when the UE determines that the SI table is invalid, acquiring, by the UE, a new SI table.

12. A method for acquiring SI, comprising transmitting, by a network side device, an SI table index to a UE, so as to enable the UE to acquire the SI based on the SI table index and a pre-acquired SI table, wherein the SI table comprises SI table indices, SI and a parameter configuration of the SI;

wherein the SI table index is a one-level SI table index in a group of SI and a parameter configuration of the group of SI, and the group of SI comprises one or more SI, or the SI table index is a two-level SI table index with a first-level index pointing to the SI and a second-level index pointing to a parameter configuration of the SI to which the first-level index points.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the SI table comprises an SI table received by the UE and periodically broadcast by the network side device, or an SI table pre-configured or pre-stored in the UE, or an SI table acquired by the UE through downloading,
