Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de commutation d'équipement d'utilisateur, appartenant au domaine des communications. L'invention résout le problème lié, dans l'état de la technique, au fait que l'expérience utilisateur est relativement médiocre en raison d'une interruption de service à agrégation multi-flux due au fait qu'une transmission de données à agrégation multi-flux ne peut pas être exécutée durant le processus de commutation. Dans le procédé de commutation d'équipement d'utilisateur décrit dans des modes de réalisation de la présente invention, un dispositif d'accès source de réseau cellulaire détermine qu'un UE est commuté à un dispositif d'accès cible de réseau cellulaire ; et envoie, au dispositif d'accès cible de réseau cellulaire, un message de demande de commutation contenant un identifiant de l'UE dans un réseau cellulaire, ledit identifiant étant utilisé pour ordonner au dispositif d'accès cible de réseau cellulaire d'exécuter une transmission de données à agrégation multi-flux avec l'UE via une entité de fonction logique cible et un dispositif d'accès cible de réseau non cellulaire.<sb />
