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: 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.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method for supporting a selected IP traffic offload (SIPTO) by a mobility management entity (MME) when a user equipment (UE) handovers from a source base station to a target base station in a mobile communication system. The method includes acquiring a local home network identifier (ID) of the source base station, acquiring a local home network ID of the target base station from the target base station, and determining whether the UE has moved out of the local home network of the source base station according to the local home network ID of the source base station and the local home network ID of the target base station.
