Abstract
The present invention relates to the communication field and discloses a method for managing devices in a user network and a user network management entity which handles combining and splitting operations in the user network more efficiently. In the technical solution provided by the present invention, the management entity of the user network obtains the information about the location of the managed PANs and/or stand-alone devices, and, based on the location information, checks existence of any PAN and/or stand-alone device that can be combined or split. If any such device exists, the management entity performs the combining or splitting operation according to the combining or splitting mode preset or selected by the user. In the process of combining or splitting a PAN or stand-alone device, the user can reserve the network registration information of some relevant devices as required, update the network registration information of other devices directly, and switch the service access points to ensure continuity of network services.
