Terminal Capability Indication for Slice Group Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication technologies face challenges in accurately determining whether a terminal supports a slice group or a single slice, leading to potential errors in identifying slice information and performing subsequent actions.
Innovation Solution
A method where a terminal sends capability indication information to a network device, indicating whether it supports a slice group, allowing the network device to determine the appropriate form of slice information to send, ensuring accurate identification and subsequent actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the network device sends slice information in a unified format without considering terminal capabilities, then the device complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision of terminal capability identification deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal performs preliminary capability indication by sending capability information to the network device before receiving slice information. This preliminary action enables the network device to identify terminal capabilities accurately and select the appropriate slice information format (slice group or single slice) in advance, avoiding the need for complex real-time format selection while maintaining high identification accuracy.
2Reliability
If the network device tailors slice information format to terminal capabilities, then the reliability of slice information identification is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network device dynamically adapts the slice information format based on terminal capability indications. When the terminal indicates support for slice groups, the network device sends slice information in a consolidated slice group format; when slice group support is not indicated, the network device sends individual slice information. This dynamic adaptation ensures high reliability of slice information identification while maintaining manageable device complexity through rule-based format selection.

AI summary
A capability indication method and a capability determination method are disclosed. The capability indication method includes sending capability indication information to a network-side device, wherein the capability indication information is used for indicating whether a terminal supports a slice group. The terminal can send the capability indication information to the network-side device, and the network-side device is notified, by means of the capability indication information, of whether the terminal supports the slice group, such that the network-side device can determine, by taking the capability indication information of the terminal as auxiliary information, the form of slice information indicated to the terminal, thereby ensuring that the terminal can accurately identify the slice information and then correctly execute an action to be subsequently executed according to the slice information.
