A wireless communication method is applied to a communications system including a UE, a RAN, a first core network entity, and at least one network slice. The wireless communication method includes: establishing, by the first core network entity, a signaling connection to the UE; receiving, by the first core network entity and from the UE via the signaling connection, network slice information and a non-access stratum NAS message; determining, by the first core network entity and based on the network slice information, a target network slice from the at least one network slice, where the target network slice includes a second core network entity, and the UE performs NAS communication with the second core network entity using the RAN and the first core network entity; and sending, by the first core network entity, the NAS message to the second core network entity.
