Abstract

Methods for switching an eNB by a user equipment, eNBs and user equipments relate to a mobile communication system deployed in a heterogeneous network. The embodiments of the present disclose a method for switching an eNB by a UE, including: when a master eNB of the UE in dual connectivity is switched, a target eNB determining that the UE keeps a connection and configuration with a secondary eNB; and the target eNB establishing a connection with the UE when the UE keeps the connection and configuration with the secondary eNB.
