1. A method, performed by a base station (BS), of supporting access to network slices in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a connection setup request message comprising network slice identification information supported by the BS, from at least one access and mobility management function (AMF); and
transmitting a connection setup response message comprising network slice information supported by each AMF and network slice group identification information associated with a network slice group to which each AMF belongs, in response to the connection setup request message, and
wherein the network slice identification information supported by each AMF and the network slice group identification information associated with the network slice group to which each AMF belongs are stored by the AMF.
