Abstract

Provided is a radio access network slice construction method and apparatus applied to a master base station. The method includes: constructing, by each of the master base station and at least one neighboring secondary base station in the RAN, a network slice end-to-end correspondence with a core network, and determining RAN slices information in the master base station and the neighboring secondary base station; collecting statistics, by the master base station, on Slice IDs or MDD information reported by all UEs served by the master base station, and obtaining quantity of slice resources needed to be allocated to construct RAN slices by the master base station; transmitting, by the master base station, reconstruction request information of a RAN slice to the neighboring secondary base station; and performing, by the master base station, multi-connection data transmission reconfiguration on the UEs served by the master base station through an RRC message.
