Abstract
A RAN node apparatus () sends to, an AMF () in a core network, slice support information indicating a network slice supported by another RAN node () that can be used as a secondary node in dual connectivity in which the RAN node apparatus () acts as a master node. This can contribute, for example, to allowing the AMF to determine a network slice allowed to a UE, while taking into account a network slice supported by a secondary node of dual connectivity.
