Method for determining priority of area, network device, and computer storage medium

1. A method for determining a priority of an area, applied to a network device, the method comprising:

acquiring information of a network slice, and setting a priority of an area based on the information of the network slice, wherein the information of the network slice comprises attribute information of a terminal device; and

configuring the priority of the area to the terminal device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information of the network slice further comprises at least one of:

level information of the network slice;

or

a correspondence relationship between network slices and areas.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein acquiring the information of the network slice comprises:

acquiring the information of the network slice from one of a core network, an access network, the terminal device and an operation and maintenance device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the area is at least one of:

a beam area, a cell, a frequency band, a frequency point, a registration area, a tracking area, or a paging area.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein when the information of the network slice is acquired from the terminal device, the terminal device is capable of directly acquiring the information of the network slice, or acquiring the information of the network slice through a configuration of a network side.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein when the information of the network slice is acquired from the core network, the core network is capable of acquiring the information of the network slice from a subscription server of the terminal device, or from the terminal device, or from the access network, or from another core network.

7. A network device, comprising a processor, and a network interface, wherein

the processor is configured to acquire information of a network slice, and set a priority of an area based on the information of the network slice, wherein the information of the network device comprises attribute information of a terminal device; and

the processor is further configured to configure, through the communication interface, the priority of the area to the terminal device.

8. The network device of claim 7 , wherein the information of the network slice further comprises at least one of:

level information of the network slice;

or

a correspondence relationship between network slices and areas.

9. The network device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to acquire the information of the network slice from one of a core network, an access network, the terminal device, and an operation and maintenance device through the network interface.

10. The network device of claim 7 , wherein the area is at least one of:

a beam area, a cell, a frequency band, a frequency point, a registration area, a tracking area, or a paging area.

11. The network device of claim 9 , wherein when the information of the network slice is acquired from the terminal device, the terminal device is capable of directly acquiring the information of the network slice, or acquiring the information of the network slice through a configuration of a network side.

12. The network device of claim 9 , wherein when the information of the network slice is acquired from the core network, the core network is capable of acquiring the information of the network slice from a subscription server of the terminal device, or from the terminal device, or from the access network, or from another core network.

13. A non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, wherein when the computer-executable instructions are executed, acts of the method according to claim 1 are implemented.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute information of a terminal device comprises a type of the terminal device, wherein the type of the terminal device comprises a Massive Internet to Things type.

15. The network device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a type of the terminal device, wherein the type of the terminal device comprises a Massive Internet to Things type.
