APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING RADIO ACCESS NETWORK SLICING-RELATED INFORMATION

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for transmitting RAN (Radio Access Network) slice-related information, and discloses a user equipment including: a transceiver configured to receive individual control information provided individually for each RAN slice from a network node, and to perform a random access procedure using resources individually configured for each RAN slice based on the individual control information; and a processor for controlling reception of the individual control information, and the random access procedure. Such a user equipment provides an effect of being able to separately transmit control information including, for example, system information for each slice for RAN slicing.
