1. A control method for a slice network, the control method comprising:
controlling, by a terminal based on relevant information corresponding to slice information, a processing between the terminal and a network device, wherein the relevant information corresponding to the slice information comprises at least one of access control information, a Backoff Indicator (BI), or a timer;
the control method further comprising:
in response to the terminal performing a random access procedure, receiving, by the terminal, third information transmitted by the network device, wherein the third information comprises relevant indication information of a slice and a corresponding BI value, and the third information is carried by MSG 2 in a random processing procedure;
wherein controlling, by the terminal based on the relevant information corresponding to the slice information, the processing between the terminal and the network device comprises:
determining, by the terminal, second slice information relevant to the random access procedure; and
re-initiating, by the terminal, the random access procedure relevant to the second slice information, after the terminal backs off, based on the BI value corresponding to the second slice information in the third information, the random access procedure corresponding to the second slice information;
the control method further comprising:
receiving, by the terminal, first information transmitted by the network device,
wherein the first information comprises:
access control information corresponding to each of at least one piece of slice information; and/or
access control information irrelevant to the slice information,
wherein the access control information is a Unified Access Control (UAC) parameter, and the first information is carried by a system broadcast message;
wherein controlling, by the terminal based on the relevant information corresponding to the slice information, the processing between the terminal and the network device comprises:
determining, by the terminal in response to triggering a Radio Resource Control (RRC) establishment procedure or an RRC resuming procedure, first slice information and a first access parameter that are relevant to the RRC establishment procedure or the RRC resuming procedure; and
performing, by the terminal, UAC based on the first slice information and the first access parameter;
wherein determining, by the terminal, the first slice information and the first access parameter that are relevant to the RRC establishment procedure or the RRC resuming procedure is performed by one of:
indicating, by a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) of the terminal in response to triggering the RRC establishment procedure or the RRC resuming procedure, the first slice information and the first access parameter to an Access Stratum (AS), wherein the first access parameter comprises a first access category and a first access identity; or
in response to an AS of the terminal triggering the RRC establishment procedure or the RRC resuming procedure based on a Next Generation (NG) Radio Access Network RAN) paging, determining, by the terminal, slice information used for a previous RRC connection as the first slice information, setting, by the terminal, a first access category in the first access parameter as a first value, and adopting, by the terminal, an access identity indicated by an NAS as a first access identity in the first access parameter; or
in response to the terminal triggering the RRC establishment procedure or the RRC resuming procedure by an RAN Notification Area (RNA) update, setting, by an AS of the terminal, the first slice information as null, setting, by the terminal, a first access category in the first access parameter as a second value, and adopting, by the terminal, an access identity indicated by an NAS as a first access identity in the first access parameter;
the control method further comprising:
adopting, by the terminal in response to setting the first slice information as null, the access control information irrelevant to the slice information in the first information for access control.
