Abstract

A network configuration method, including: 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.

Claims (42)

1. A base station serving as a target primary base station, 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 base station of user equipment which is served in both the source primary base station and a source secondary base station, the handover request message containing identification indication information; and

transmit the identification indication information to a target secondary base station of the user equipment, wherein the identification indication information includes an identifier of the user equipment in the source secondary base station.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein, the target secondary base station performs resource configuration for services of the user equipment according to the identification indication information.

3. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

generate an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode with a target secondary base station;

and

transmit the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode with the target secondary base station to the target secondary base station.

4. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

receive an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode with the target secondary base station from the target secondary base station of the user equipment, the identifier of the user equipment being generated by the source secondary base station.

5. The base station according to claim 4 , wherein the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode with the target secondary base station comprises:

an identifier of the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the target secondary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target secondary base station.

6. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode with the target secondary base station comprises:

an identifier of the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the target secondary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target secondary base station.

7. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

receive an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode with the target secondary base station from the target secondary base station of the user equipment, the identifier of the user equipment being generated by the source secondary base station.

8. The base station according to claim 7 , wherein the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode with the target secondary base station comprises:

an identifier of the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the target secondary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target secondary base station.

9. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to transmit service indication information of the user equipment in a serving base station to a target secondary base station of the user equipment before handover.

10. A base station serving as a target secondary base station, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of instructions; and

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

receive identification indication information of user equipment which is served in both a source primary base station and a source secondary base station before handover transmitted by a target primary base station of the user equipment,

wherein the identification indication information includes an identifier of the user equipment in the source secondary base station.

11. The base station according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

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

transmit the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode with the target primary base station generated by the base station to the target primary base station of the user equipment.

12. The base station according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

receive an identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode with the target primary base station generated by the target primary base station from the target primary base station.

13. The base station according to claim 12 , wherein the identifier of the user equipment in the joint service mode with the target primary base station includes:

an identifier of the user equipment, and/or an identifier of the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the target secondary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target secondary base station.

14. The base station according to claim 10 , wherein the identifier of the user equipment in a joint service mode with the target primary base station includes: an identifier of the user equipment, and/or an identifier of the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the target secondary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target primary base station, and/or an identifier of the user equipment in the target secondary base station.

15. The base station according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform resource configuration for services of the user equipment according to the received identification indication information.

16. A base station serving as a source primary base station, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of instructions; and

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

transmit a handover request message to a target primary base station of user equipment before handover which is jointly served with a source secondary base station, the handover request message containing identification indication information, wherein

the identification indication information includes an identifier of the user equipment in the source secondary base station, and

the target primary base station forwards the identification indication information to a target secondary base station of the user equipment.

17. The base station according to claim 16 , wherein, the target secondary base station of the user equipment performs resource configuration for services of the user equipment with reference to the identification indication information.
