Patent ID: 8514813

Claim:
A method for obtaining bearer condition during handover of user equipment (UE), comprising: receiving, by a mobile management entity (MME), information of at least one bearer allowed to be accepted by a target base station (eNB) when the eNB makes an admission control for a UE based on received bearer information of the UE during handover of the UE; and determining, by the MME, whether all access point names (APN) activated when the UE is connected to a source eNB have respective bearer connections maintained when the UE is connected to the target eNB after the handover based on the received at least one bearer; if all APNs have respective bearer connections maintained after the handover, determining there is no need to modify a UE-Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (UE-AMBR) used by the target eNB; if not all APNs have respective bearer connections maintained after the handover, modifying the UE-AMBR used by the target eNB based on bearer connection condition of the target eNB after the handover, and informing the target eNB of a updated value of the UE-AMBR.
