Method and device for acquiring terminal context

A user equipment context obtaining apparatus comprising:

• a communications interface;
• a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the communications interface and the memory and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
• obtain, via the communications interface, from a second network node, a user equipment context of a user equipment within the second network node;
• and
• send, by the communications interface, a user equipment context of the user equipment within a first network node and the user equipment context of the user equipment within the second network node to a third network node, wherein
• the first network node and the second network node are a master node and a secondary node in a first dual connectivity network respectively, and the third network node is a master node in a second dual connectivity network.

A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system, configure the computer system to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining, by a first network node from a second network node, a user equipment context of a user equipment within the second network node;
• and
• sending, by the first network node, a user equipment context of the user equipment within the first network node and the user equipment context of the user equipment within the second network node to a third network node, wherein
• the first network node and the second network node are a master node and a secondary node in a first dual connectivity network respectively, and the third network node is a master node in a second dual connectivity network.

A user equipment context obtaining method comprising:

• receiving, by a third network node, a user equipment context of a user equipment within a first network node and a user equipment context of the user equipment within a second network node that are sent by the first network node;
• and
• sending, by the third network node, the user equipment context of the user equipment within the second network node to a fourth network node, wherein
• the first network node and the second network node are a master node and a secondary node in a first dual connectivity network respectively, and the third network node and the fourth network node are a master node and a secondary node in a second dual connectivity network respectively.
