The invention relates to the technical field of
wireless communication, in particular to a switching method, a switching
system and a switching device, which are used for enabling an LIPA (local IP access) connection to support mobility. The embodiment of the invention is characterized in that when determining a terminal is required to be switched or the terminal has an LIPA connection, a source
base station sends a message including the information of a target
base station; after receiving the message including the information of the target
base station and determining that the base
station corresponding to the information of the target base
station is connected with a gateway, the gateway does not release the LIPA connection, and sends a notification message; and after receiving the notification message, the source base
station performs switching operations. After the target base station is connected with the gateway, as the gateway does not release the LIPA connection, the LIPA connection supports mobility, therefore, the LIPA connection has good service continuity, and has no influence on other devices in a
core network, thus being beneficial to reducing the costs for equipment upgrades of the operators.
