The present application relates to a network slicing information processing method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method comprises: the terminal device receives first information, the first information comprising network slicing information and a limiting condition corresponding to the network slicing information, and the first information being used for determining priority information of a cell or frequency point by the terminal device when performing cell selection or reselection. Embodiments of the present application can be used for determining the cell or frequency point priority information by the terminal device when performing the cell selection or reselection.

A network access method and a terminal are provided. The network access method performed by the terminal includes receiving a reference signal transmitted by a network-side device. The reference signal includes a first reference signal, or includes a first reference signal and a second reference signal. The first reference signal is an Single-Frequency Network (SFN)-specific reference signal, or the second reference signal is a cell or Transmission Reception Point (cell/TRP)-specific reference signal. The network access method further includes performing an initial access-related operation based on the received reference signal.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for associating a wireless communication device such as a wireless station (STA) of a STA multi-link device (MLD) with an access point (AP) MLD that includes a first AP associated with a first communication link of the AP MLD and includes one or more secondary APs associated with one or more respective secondary communication links of the first AP MLD. The first AP includes one or more virtual APs, and the first AP and the one or more virtual APs of the first AP belong to a first multiple basic service set identifier (BSSID) set associated with the first communication link. The AP MLD transmits a frame including a first element carrying discovery information for the first AP and the one or more virtual APs belonging to the first multiple BSSID set, and including a second element carrying discovery information for the one or more secondary APs of the first AP MLD associated with the one or more respective secondary communication links of the first AP MLD.

This application discloses a method and an apparatus for a terminal to access a network, a device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: in a case that an event corresponding to a MINT function occurs in a first network, performing access control on an access request, triggered by the MINT function, for accessing a second network.

Systems and methods for generating a control signal for automatic wireless network version detection of a transmission. The control signal enables a receiver to detect the wireless network version detection of the transmission, so that the proper wireless network version is used for interpreting signaling information and decoding of the payload of the transmission. In some examples, the control signal is within a preamble of the transmission. The wireless network version can be an IEEE 802.11 version, such as proposed IEEE 802.11be. The control signal is compatible with legacy systems and can indicate the legacy signaling information by way of a Legacy Signal (SIG) (L-SIG) symbol. In some examples, the control signal can indicate the wireless network version by using an identifier symbol which is generated from at least part of, but is not identical to, the L-SIG symbol.
