(2)本申请实施例中术语“多个”是指两个或两个以上，其它量词与之类似。
(3)“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
其中，所述终端设备，是一种具有无线通信功能的设备，可以部署在陆地上，包括室内或室外、手持或车载；也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等)；还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)所述终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)所述终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线所述终端设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线所述终端设备、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线所述终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线所述终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线所述终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线所述终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线所述终端设备等；还可以是各种形式的UE，移动台(mobile station，MS)，所述终端设备(terminal device)。
