Abstract
A method for information interaction under small cell deployment, includes: a mobility management entity re-selecting a serving gateway for a user equipment; the mobility management entity sending an evolved radio access bearer (ERAB) modification message to a master evolved node B to which the user equipment accesses, wherein the ERAB modification message carries new ERAB transport information. The embodiments of the present document further disclose an evolved node B working as a master evolve node B under small cell deployment.

A method for information interaction under small cell deployment, the small cell deployment comprising a master evolved node B and a secondary evolved node B that implement dual connectivity with a user equipment, comprising:
- a mobility management entity re-selecting a serving gateway for the user equipment;
- the mobility management entity sending an evolved radio access bearer (ERAB) modification message to the master evolved node B to which the user equipment accesses, wherein the ERAB modification message carries new ERAB transport information, so that the master evolved node B forwards the new ERAB transport information to the secondary evolved node B via an inter-evolved node B interface;
- wherein the secondary evolved node B is determined by the master evolved node B based on signal quality information of neighboring cells reported by the user equipment to implement the dual connectivity with the user equipment, and one of the neighboring cells belongs to the secondary evolved node B.
A method for information interaction under small cell deployment, the small cell deployment comprising a master evolved node B and a secondary evolved node B that implement dual connectivity with a user equipment, comprising:
- the master evolved node B receiving an ERAB modification message carrying new evolved radio access bearer (ERAB) transport information, which is sent by a mobile management entity;
- after receiving the ERAB modification message, the master evolved node B forwarding the new ERAB transport information to the secondary evolved node B via an inter-evolved node B interface;
- wherein before the master evolved node B receiving the ERAB modification message carrying the new evolved radio access bearer (ERAB) transport information, the method further comprises:
- the master evolved node B determining, based on signal quality information of neighboring cells reported by the user equipment, that the secondary evolved node B is used to implement dual connectivity with the user equipment, wherein one of the neighboring cells belongs to the secondary evolved node B.
An evolved node B, wherein the evolved node B works as a master evolved node B under small cell deployment, the small cell deployment comprising the master evolved node B and a secondary evolved node B that implement dual connectivity with a user equipment, wherein the evolved node B comprises a processor and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, the processor is configured to:
- receive an evolved radio access bearer (ERAB) modification message carrying new ERAB transport information, which is sent by a mobile management entity;
- after receiving the ERAB modification message, forward the new ERAB transport information to a secondary evolved node B via an inter-evolved node B interface, so that the master evolved node B forwards the new ERAB transport information to the secondary evolved node B via an inter-evolved node B interface;
- wherein the secondary evolved node B is determined by the master evolved node B based on signal quality information of neighboring cells reported by the user equipment to implement dual connectivity with the user equipment, and one of the neighboring cells belongs to the secondary evolved node B.
A mobility management entity, the mobility management entity applied in small cell deployment, the small cell deployment comprising a master evolved node B and a secondary evolved node B that implement dual connectivity with a user equipment, wherein the mobility management entity comprises a processor and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, the processor is configured to:
- re-select a serving gateway for the user equipment;
- send an evolved radio access bearer (ERAB) modification message to the master evolved node B to which the user equipment accesses, wherein the ERAB modification message carries new ERAB transport information, so that the master evolved node B forwards the new ERAB transport information to the secondary evolved node B via an inter-evolved node B interface;
- wherein the secondary evolved node B is determined by the master evolved node B based on signal quality information of neighboring cells reported by the user equipment to implement the dual connectivity with the user equipment, and one of the neighboring cells belongs to the secondary evolved node B.
