Radio resource control RRC connection method and apparatus and RRC reconnection method and apparatus
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an RRC connection method and a serving node. In the embodiments, an RRC connection is established between an anchor node and UE. Therefore, when an serving node of the UE is switched, a connection between an MME and the anchor node does not change. When the MME needs to send a paging message, the MME does not need to send the paging message to all base stations in a TA area that corresponds to the paging message, thereby effectively reducing signaling load of a core network.
