In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the core network device may be connected to one or more base stations, and the network service content that can be supported by the core network device is notified to the connected base stations, so that each base station learns the network service that the core network device can support. After the content, the network service content that the core network device can support is notified to the terminals in the coverage of the base stations, so that the terminals can determine the base station and the core network device that they need to access.

For example, the core network device is a 5G core network device, and the first information generated by the 5G core network device is used to represent the service content that the 5G core network device can provide for the user, and the service content provided by the 5G core network device to the user is sent to Each base station connected to the 5G core network device, so that each station knows the network service content that the 5G core network device can support, and then informs the terminals within the coverage of the base station of the network service content that the 5G core network device can support, which is convenient.
