1. A method for network connection, applied in a terminal, comprising:
receiving a connection indication from a base station when the terminal is in a non-standalone (NSA) network, wherein the connection indication comprises a target connection mode to determine a network to which the terminal needs to connect, wherein the connection indication is an indication that indicates the target connection mode determined by the base station, wherein the target connection mode is a preset time-sharing connection mode or a preset simultaneous connection mode, the preset time-sharing connection mode indicates the terminal to select any network between long term evolution, LTE, and new radio, NR, for connection, and the preset simultaneous connection mode indicates the terminal to connect to LTE and NR at the same time;
initiating a preset service monitoring function to obtain a current service type of the terminal when the target connection mode is the preset time-sharing connection mode;
acquiring a current service type;
determining a target network mode according to the current service type, wherein the target network mode is one of multiple network modes in the NSA network, and the target network mode is either an LTE mode or an NR mode; and
in response to the connection indication, transmitting, by the terminal, the target network mode to the base station for connection with the target network mode.
