Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for controlling bearers of service data flows, including acquiring a service data flow convergence of service data flows, determining whether the service data flow convergence is able to be multiplexed to an established bearer, and carrying the service data flow convergence in a corresponding bearer according to the determined result. The apparatus of the present invention includes a service data flow convergence acquiring module and a service data flow convergence multiplex handling module for implementing the method of the present invention. In accordance with the method and apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the bearer information amount necessary to be maintained by various network entities and save the storage and handling resources of system.
