sending, by the source base station, wireless charging information of the UE to the target base station, wherein sending the wireless charging information of the UE comprises: sending, by the source base station, the wireless charging information to the target base station by a handover request signaling; and

receiving, by the source base station, a handover request acknowledge signaling from the target base station, wherein the handover request acknowledge signaling comprises at least one of wireless charging configuration information of the target base station for the UE or wireless charging capability information of the target base station.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the wireless charging information of the UE to the target base station comprises:

sending, by the source base station, the wireless charging information to the target base station via an X2 interface or an Xn interface.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the handover request signaling comprises handover preparation information, and the handover preparation information comprises the wireless charging information.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless charging information comprises at least one of the following information:

wireless charging capability information of the UE;

current wireless charging configuration information of the source base station for the UE;

recommended wireless charging configuration information of the source base station for the UE;

charging requirement information of the UE; or

charging state information of the UE.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in response to determining that the wireless charging capability information of the target base station indicates not supporting wireless charging but supporting switching of the UE, the method further comprises:

based on the channel quality measurement report, determining, by the source base station, a new target base station of the UE.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the source base station, a handover preparation failure signaling from the target base station; and

based on the channel quality measurement report, determining, by the source base station, a new target base station of the UE.

7 . A method of controlling charging of a User Equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, by a target base station, wireless charging information of the UE, wherein receiving the wireless charging information comprises: receiving, by the target base station, the wireless charging information of the UE from a source base station by a handover request signaling;

sending, by the target base station, a handover request acknowledge signaling to the source base station, wherein the handover request acknowledge signaling comprises at least one of wireless charging configuration information of the target base station for the UE or wireless charging capability information of the target base station; and

based on the wireless charging information, charging the UE by the target base station.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

sending, by the target base station, wireless charging configuration information to the UE.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein sending the wireless charging configuration information to the UE comprises:

by a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration signaling, sending, by the target base station, the wireless charging configuration information to the UE.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein sending the wireless charging configuration information to the UE comprises:

by a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration signaling, sending, by the target base station, the wireless charging configuration information to the UE.

11 . A communication device, comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory; and

a processor, connected to the transceiver and the memory, respectively, wherein the processor is configured to control wireless signal reception and transmission of the transceiver by executing computer executable instructions stored in the memory and perform operations comprising:

in response to a measurement report of a User Equipment (UE), determining a target base station of the UE, wherein determining the target base station of the UE comprise: obtaining a channel quality measurement report transmitted by the UE, and based on the channel quality measurement report, determining the target base station;

sending wireless charging information of the UE to the target base station, wherein sending the wireless charging information of the UE comprises: sending the wireless charging information to the target base station by a handover request signaling; and

receiving a handover request acknowledge signaling from the target base station, wherein the handover request acknowledge signaling comprises at least one of wireless charging configuration information of the target base station for the UE or wireless charging capability information of the target base station.

12 . The communication device according to claim 11 , wherein sending the wireless charging information of the UE to the target base station comprises:

sending the wireless charging information to the target base station via an X2 interface or an Xn interface.

13 . The communication device according to claim 11 , wherein the handover request signaling comprises handover preparation information, and the handover preparation information comprises the wireless charging information.

14 . The communication device according to claim 11 , wherein the wireless charging information comprises at least one of the following information:

wireless charging capability information of the UE;

current wireless charging configuration information of the source base station for the UE;

recommended wireless charging configuration information of the source base station for the UE;

charging requirement information of the UE; or

charging state information of the UE.
