TRANSFERT ENTRE UNE CELLULE LTE ET UNE CELLULE DE TYPE HYPER

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a handover method and an apparatus. The handover method includes: sending, by a base station, a handover request message to a target controller; after the handover request message is received, configuring, by the target controller based on the handover request message, a parameter including connection status information for user equipment, and then sending a handover request response message including the parameter to the base station; after the handover request response message including the parameter is received from the target controller, sending, by the base station, a connection reconfiguration message including the parameter to the user equipment; and receiving, by the user equipment, the connection reconfiguration message, and establishing, based on the parameter and in a connection status indicated by the connection status information, a connection to a cell managed by the target controller. Therefore, the user equipment is handed over, in a proper connection status, from a cell managed by the base station to a cell managed by the target controller, service continuity of the user equipment in a moving process is implemented, and a throughput of the user equipment is improved.
