The invention discloses a local
gateway address updating method and device, which can solve the problem of LGW (Local Gateway) address updating under the condition that an MRN PGW (
Mobile Relay Local Gateway) is re-located in an MRN (
Mobile Relay) switching process. The local
gateway address updating method comprises the steps that: a target host
base station receives local
gateway address allocation information; the target host
base station judges that an
IP address is allocated to a local gateway if an
IP address needs to be allocated for the local gateway set in a
mobile relay node according to the local gateway address allocation information; and the
IP address of the local gateway is sent to a
service gateway. One local gateway address updating device is positioned in the target host
base station, and comprises a receiving module, an allocating module and a sending module. Another local gateway address updating device is positioned in the
mobile relay node and comprises a judging module and a storing module. Another local gateway address updating device comprises a
service gateway servicing for UE, and comprises a receiving module and an updating module. By adopting the method and device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the continuity of the S5 connection is ensured, and further the service continuity of a terminal is ensured.
