Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de sélection et de gestion de tranche de réseau, un système, une station de base et un routeur associés. Ledit procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : selon une corrélation entre un élément d'identification de tranche et un élément d'identification d'entrée, et des informations d'élément d'identification envoyées par un terminal, une station de base détermine un élément d'identification d'entrée d'un réseau auquel le terminal accède; et selon l'élément d'identification d'entrée déterminé, la station de base envoie la signalisation et les données qui sont envoyées par le terminal à une entrée de tranche de réseau sélectionné.
