BEARER HANDOVER CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. A network side device, configured to control a bearer handover, wherein the network side device belongs to a wireless communications system, wherein the system further comprises a source base station and a target base station, and at least some of all bearers between user equipment and the source base station need to be handed over from the source base station to the target base station, and the network side device comprises:
- a receiver, configured to receive a bearer handover message;
a processor, configured to determine, according to the bearer handover message, a bearer needing to be handed over in all the bearers; and
a transmitter, configured to send an end marker message to the source base station only for the bearer needing to be handed over.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a bearer handover control device and control method. The method includes: receiving, by a network side device, a bearer handover message; and determining, by the network side device according to the bearer handover message, a bearer needing to be handed over in all bearers, so that an end marker End Marker message is sent to a source base station only for the bearer needing to be handed over. By using the foregoing solutions, for a multi-connection scenario, a network side device can determine a bearer needing to be handed over, so that an end marker message is sent only for the bearer needing to be handed over, which can prevent discarding of subsequent data of a bearer that is not to be handed over, and ensure multiple connections between a UE and base stations, thereby improving stability of a system.
