The invention discloses a bearer establishing method, a
relay node and a
base station. The method comprises the following steps: after a radio link fails or
radio resource control connection reconstruction fails, a non-
access stratum of the
relay node determines whether a donor evolved
base station is the same as a donor evolved
base station which is connected with before failure; when the donor evolved base
station is the same as the donor evolved base
station which is connected with before failure, a service request process is initiated and an original evolved packet
system bearer is activated; and, when the donor evolved base
station is not the same as the donor evolved base station which is connected with before failure, an attachment process is initiated and a bearer is established. According to the method disclosed by the invention, in the event that the donor evolved base station is not changed, the
relay node can be used for establishing a connection with the donor evolved base station as soon as possible; therefore, the signalling interactive process is reduced; in the event that the donor evolved base station is changed, the problem of incapability of changing a
packet data gateway in the prior art can be solved; and, because of adoption of the traditional parameters in the implementation, the realizing complexity is low.
