Abstract

Claims (42)

1 . A cell selection method, applied to a terminal and comprising:

obtaining first information by the terminal, wherein the first information is used for indicating that a second cell does not support a first intended slice, wherein the first intended slice is an intended slice supported by a first cell, the first cell is a cell currently selected or camped on by the terminal, and the second cell is different from the first cell; and

performing cell selection or reselection by the terminal according to the first information;

wherein performing cell selection or reselection comprises at least one of:

considering the second cell as an acceptable cell;

falling back to a non-slice based cell selection or reselection rule;

ignoring a slice-based cell selection or reselection rule; or

performing non-slice based cell selection or reselection;

wherein performing cell selection or reselection by the terminal according to the first information further comprises:

obtaining first indication information according to the first information;

determining a second cell-selection or reselection parameter as the cell selection or reselection parameter according to the first information, when the first indication information satisfies a second indication condition;

performing cell selection or reselection according to the cell selection or reselection parameter.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information comprises system information.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second cell-selection or reselection parameter is obtained by the terminal from the first cell.

4 . A terminal, comprising:

a processor, a memory, and a transceiver;

wherein the transceiver is configured to obtain first information, wherein the first information is used for indicating that a second cell does not support a first intended slice, wherein the first intended slice is an intended slice supported by a first cell, the first cell is a cell currently selected or camped on by the terminal, and the second cell is different from the first cell; and

wherein the processor is configured to perform cell selection or reselection according to the first information, wherein cell selection or reselection comprises at least one of:

considering the second cell as an acceptable cell;

falling back to a non-slice based cell selection or reselection rule;

ignoring a slice-based cell selection or reselection rule; or

performing non-slice based cell selection or reselection;

wherein the processor configured to perform cell selection or reselection according to the first information is further configured to:

obtain a first indication information according to the first information;

determine a second cell-selection or reselection parameter as the cell selection or reselection parameter according to the first information, when the first indication information satisfies a second indication condition;

perform cell selection or reselection according to the cell selection or reselection parameter.

5 . The terminal of claim 4 , wherein the first information comprises system information.

6 . The terminal of claim 4 , wherein the second cell-selection or reselection parameter is obtained by the terminal from the first cell.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to implement a cell selection method comprising:

obtaining first information by a terminal, wherein the first information is used for indicating that a second cell does not support a first intended slice, wherein the first intended slice is an intended slice supported by a first cell, the first cell is a cell currently selected or camped on by the terminal, and the second cell is different from the first cell; and

performing cell selection or reselection by the terminal according to the first information;

wherein performing cell selection or reselection comprises at least one of:

considering the second cell as an acceptable cell;

falling back to a non-slice based cell selection or reselection rule;

ignoring a slice-based cell selection or reselection rule; or

performing non-slice based cell selection or reselection;

wherein performing cell selection or reselection by the terminal according to the first information further comprises:

obtaining first indication information according to the first information;

determining a second cell-selection or reselection parameter as the cell selection or reselection parameter according to the first information, when the first indication information satisfies a second indication condition;

performing cell selection or reselection according to the cell selection or reselection parameter.

8 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the first information comprises system information.

9 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the second cell-selection or reselection parameter is obtained by the terminal from the first cell.
