  • the embodiment of the present invention can solve the problem of determining whether to perform gateway relocation in the MRN handover process, so that the route optimization is smoothly performed, thereby shortening the delay of the UE data and signaling.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de relocalisation de passerelle et une entité de gestion de mobilité (MME). Le procédé comprend les étapes dans lesquelles : dans un processus au cours duquel une station de base maîtresse de destination (DeNB) est commutée pour un nœud de relais mobile (MRN), une MME du MRN reçoit des informations de détermination de relocalisation de passerelle, et après avoir reçu les informations de détermination de relocalisation de passerelle, détermine, selon les informations de détermination de relocalisation de passerelle, l'opportunité de relocaliser une passerelle de service pour le MRN. Par les modes de réalisation de la présente invention, il peut être déterminé l'opportunité d'effectuer une relocalisation de passerelle dans un processus de commutation pour le MRN, de sorte que l'optimisation de routage est effectuée avec succès, ce qui permet de raccourcir le retard de signalisation et de données UE.
