The information related to the first terminal may be a terminal identifier of the first terminal (such as a device identifier of the first terminal), a session identifier of the first terminal (such as a protocol data unit (Protocol Data Unit, PDU) session identifier of the first terminal), a connection identifier of the first terminal (such as an IP of the first terminal), and so on. Optionally, the information related to the first terminal may be used by the network side to determine the first terminal, that is, to determine, by the network side, the first indication that is sent by which terminal, so that the access parameter of the direct connection air interface may be subsequently sent to the first terminal.

S204: and receiving the access parameters and configuring the direct-connection air interface based on the access parameters.

The access parameter of the direct connection air interface may be generated by the network side, and the receiving access parameter may specifically be that the first terminal receives the access parameter of the direct connection air interface from the network side.

In one implementation, the network side may be a network function or a base station, and the network function may be AMF, SMF, PCF, UDM, UDR, AF, NEF or the like.

Also, in case the first terminal receives the access parameters from the second network function, the access parameters may be generated by the second network function or may be acquired from other network functions by the second network function.

After receiving the access parameter, the first terminal can configure the direct-connection air interface according to the access parameter. The first terminal may include at least one of the following when configuring the direct connection air interface according to the access parameter:

For example, the network side may actively send the access parameter of the direct-connection air interface to the first terminal, so that the first terminal may receive the access parameter of the direct-connection air interface from the network side, and configure the direct-connection air interface according to the access parameter. Therefore, the automatic configuration of the access parameters of the direct-connection air interface can be realized, and the manual configuration of the access parameters of the direct-connection air interface is not needed, so that the automatic connection of the direct-connection air interface is realized, and the access rate of the direct-connection air interface is improved. Optionally, before receiving the access parameter of the direct-connection air interface, the first terminal may send a first indication for requesting the access parameter of the direct-connection air interface to the network side, so that the first terminal may receive the access parameter sent by the network side according to the first indication.

In the third implementation manner, the first terminal requests the access parameter of the direct-connection air interface by sending a first indication to the network side, the network side sends the access parameter of the direct-connection air interface to the first terminal according to the first indication, and the first terminal receives the access parameter sent by the network side according to the first indication and configures the direct-connection air interface according to the access parameter. Therefore, the automatic configuration of the access parameters of the direct-connection air interface can be realized, and the manual configuration of the access parameters of the direct-connection air interface is not needed, so that the automatic connection of the direct-connection air interface is realized, and the access rate of the direct-connection air interface is improved.
