Abstract: A method for supporting fast recovery of a User Equipment (UE) includes performing, by a serving base station, UE context synchronization for one or more other base stations in a related small cell cluster when a UE accesses the serving base station, performing, by a base station that the UE performs a radio resource control (RRC) connection re-establishment, the RRC connection re-establishment for the UE according to UE context saved in a synchronization process. The present also discloses another method and system for supporting UE fast recovery. By applying the technical solution disclosed by the present disclosure, when the UE moves in a small cell scenario, the UE can be recovered quickly in the case of a failure, so as to avoid the UE returns to an idle mode, avoid data loss, guarantee business continuity, and improve UE experience.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure may provide an inter-MeNB handover method in a small cell system, including: making, by a source MeNB and/or target MeNB, a determination as to whether to maintain a SeNB when handover is performed; and triggering different handover processes according to a result of the determination as to whether to maintain the SeNB. Another embodiment of the present disclosure may further provide an inter-MeNB handover device in a small cell system. With the inter-MeNB handover method and device in a small cell system provided by the present disclosure, unnecessary deletion and re-establishment of the bearers at the SeNB for the UE may be reduced. False bearer deletion may be avoided and data forwarding may be reduced. Furthermore, the SeNB may be maintained according to network deployment and SGW re-selection may be supported. Therefore, system capacity and transmission speed of the data may be improved.

Abstract: A method for supporting packet data network (PDN) gateway (GW) selection, comprising the following steps of: receiving by a mobility management entity (MME) a local route optimization service request information; searching by the MME the internet protocol (IP) address of a PDN GW which supports local route optimization according to the IP address of a PDN GW on home evolved node B (HeNB) (PDN GWh); sending by the MME a bearer request establishment message to the PDN GWh. The method of the present invention can ensure core network equipment to find PDN GW correctly while HeNB system supports local route optimization.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method for configuring and transmitting a key, which includes that: a) a serving cell (PCell) of UE determines a key (KeNB) used by a SCell and transmits the KeNB to the SCell; and b) the PCell transmits configuration information for configuring the SCell to the UE after receiving a response message from the SCell, and receives a response message from the UE. Or, the method includes that: a SCell of UE transmits a cell key request to a MME and receives key information from the MME; and the SCell transmits the key information received from the MME to the UE, and receives a response message from the UE. By the present application, data of the SCell is transmitted after being encrypted, so as to avoid a case that the data is decoded by other users, and further guarantee the security of the data.

Abstract: This application discloses a method of using NH and NCC pairs to resolve security issues. It includes: an MME sends a sequence including multiple NH and NCC pairs to S1GW that is calculated to correspond to a UE. After the S1GW receives a UE handover message or a UE bearer switch message from a base station, the S1GW may choose a next unused NH and NCC pair from the sequence sent by the MME and send it to a target base station. In using this application, part of the bearer switch of the UE or the switch of the UE can be terminated at the S1GW or HeNB GW, which reduces impact on the core network and cuts down on the use of system resources.
