    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing access network information are provided. The method includes: the dynamic access network information is obtained, and the current access network information list can be updated in real time according to the obtained dynamic access network information, so as to ensure that access network information obtained by a user terminal from the access network information list is latest information updated in real time. Thus, after the user terminal obtains the information, a process of scanning an access network to determine current availability information of the network can be omitted, so that the switching delay can be reduced, the switching efficiency can be improved, and the power consumption of the user terminal can be reduced, thereby improving the satisfaction degree of user experience.

    Abstract: A method for realizing mobility management of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network is described. A first control network element addresses a second control network element according to an identification or address information of the second control network element sent from a first Mobility Management Entity (MME), acquires an address of a Public Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW) and Tunnel Endpoint Identification (TEID) information of the PGW allocated by the second control network element, and sends to the second control network element an address of a first Serving Gateway (SGW) and TEID information of the first SGW allocated thereby; the first control network element sends to the first SGW flow table information including the address of the PGW and the TEID information of the PGW; and the second control network element sends to the PGW flow table information including the address of the first SGW and the TEID information of the first SGW. A system for realizing mobility management of an EPC network is also described. Coordination problems of two control network elements caused by changes of the control network elements due to a movement of a UE can be solved by the solution of the embodiments of the disclosure.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, device, system for detecting a data link, controller, and gateway. The method comprises: an SDN controller sends a GTP request message to a first UGW, and instructs the first UGW to send the GTP request message to another GTP endpoint in a GTP user plane signaling format; the SDN controller receives a GTP response message from the first UGW, and detects a data link between the first UGW and the another GTP endpoint according to the GTP response message, the GTP response message being corresponding to the GTP request message. The disclosure solves the problem in the prior art that logic of a user plane and logic of a control plane are unclear during detection of a data link between GTP endpoints, thereby improving the clarity of the logic of the user plane and the clarity of the logic of the control plane.
