Patent ID: 10887753

Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for determining and providing mobility management support and processing required by a terminal. The method comprises: determining a mobility management mapping relation and a mobility mapping relation of a terminal according to information of the terminal related to mobility management or mobility, the mobility management mapping relation being a mapping relation between conditions for the terminal and a required mobility support level or mobility management mechanism, and the mobility mapping relation being a mapping relation between the conditions for the terminal and mobility levels of the terminal; and determining, according to the mobility management mapping relation of the terminal or according to the conditions for the terminal and the mobility mapping relation of the terminal, a mobility support level or a mobility management mechanism provided for the terminal. A network side device receives an instruction for providing a mobility support level or a mobility management mechanism for the terminal, and provides mobility management for the terminal according to the instruction. By using the solution provided in embodiments of the present application, on-demand mobility management can be implemented.
