Abstract

A network configuration method and apparatus and a system, the network configuration method includes: receiving, by a target primary eNB of user equipment, a handover request message transmitted by a source primary eNB of the user equipment, the handover request message containing identification indication information or service indication information of the user equipment in a serving eNB before handover; and transmitting, by the target primary eNB of the user equipment, the identification indication information or the service indication information to a target secondary eNB of the user equipment, so that the target secondary eNB performs resource configuration for services of the user equipment according to the identification indication information or the service indication information. With the method, apparatus and system of the embodiments of the present disclosure, waste of resources resulted from repeated reservation of the resources may be avoided.

Claims (45)

1. A network configuration method, comprising:

receiving, by a target primary eNB of user equipment, a handover request message transmitted by a source primary eNB of the user equipment, the handover request message containing service indication information of the user equipment in a serving eNB before handover,

transmitting, by the target primary eNB of the user equipment, the service indication information to a target secondary eNB of the user equipment,

wherein the service indication information comprises: services of the user equipment in a service mode of the source primary eNB and a source secondary eNB; and a serving eNB or a serving cell to which the services correspond.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the target secondary eNB performs resource configuration for services of the user equipment according to the service indication information.

3. A network configuration method, comprising:

transmitting, by a source primary eNB of user equipment, a handover request message to a target primary eNB of the user equipment, the handover request message containing service indication information of the user equipment in a serving eNB before handover,

wherein the service indication information comprises: services of the user equipment in a service mode of the source primary eNB and a source secondary eNB; and a serving eNB or a serving cell to which the services correspond, and

wherein the target primary eNB forwards the service indication information to a target secondary eNB of the user equipment.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein, the target secondary eNB of the user equipment performs resource configuration for services of the user equipment with reference to the service indication information.

5. An eNB, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:

receive a handover request message transmitted by a source primary eNB of user equipment, the handover request message containing service indication information of the user equipment in a serving eNB before handover, and

transmit the service indication information to a target secondary eNB of the user equipment,

wherein the service indication information comprises: services of the user equipment in a service mode of the source primary eNB and a source secondary eNB; and a serving eNB or a serving cell to which the services correspond.

6. The eNB according to claim 5 , wherein, the target secondary eNB performs resource configuration for services of the user equipment according to the service indication information.

7. The eNB according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

generate an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode of the eNB and a target secondary eNB;

and transmit the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode of the eNB and the target secondary eNB generated by the eNB to the target secondary eNB.

8. The eNB according to claim 7 , wherein the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode of the eNB and the target secondary eNB comprises: an identifier of the user equipment, and/or an identifier of the eNB, and/or an identifier of the target secondary eNB, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the eNB, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target secondary eNB.

9. The eNB according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

receive an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode of the eNB and a target secondary eNB transmitted by the target secondary eNB of the user equipment.

10. The eNB according to claim 9 , wherein the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode of the eNB and the target secondary eNB comprises: an identifier of the user equipment, and/or an identifier of the eNB, and/or an identifier of the target secondary eNB, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the eNB, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target secondary eNB.

11. An eNB as a target secondary eNB, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of instructions;

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:

receive, from a target primary eNB, service indication information of user equipment in a service mode of a source primary eNB and a source secondary eNB before handover transmitted by the target primary eNB of the user equipment;

and

perform resource configuration for services of the user equipment according to the received service indication information,

wherein the service indication information comprises: services of the user equipment in a service mode of the source primary eNB and the source secondary eNB;

and a serving eNB or a serving cell to which the services correspond.

12. The eNB according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

generate an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode of the target primary eNB and the eNB; and

transmit the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode of the target primary eNB and the eNB generated by the eNB to the target primary eNB of the user equipment.

13. The eNB according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to receive an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode of the target primary eNB and the eNB generated by the target primary eNB and transmitted by the target primary eNB.

14. The eNB according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

transmit the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode of the target primary eNB and the eNB generated by the target primary eNB and receive by the eNB to the target primary eNB of the user equipment.

15. An eNB, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of instructions;

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:

transmit a handover request message to a target primary eNB of user equipment, the handover request message containing service indication information of the user equipment in a serving eNB before handover,

wherein the service indication information comprises: services of the user equipment in a joint service mode of the eNB and a source secondary eNB; and a serving eNB or a serving cell to which the services correspond, and

wherein, the target primary eNB forwards the service indication information to a target secondary eNB of the user equipment.

16. The eNB according to claim 15 , wherein, the target secondary eNB of the user equipment performs resource configuration for services of the user equipment with reference to the service indication information.
