The present disclosure discloses a data communication method and a device, to resolve a prior-art problem of a high latency for switching a terminal device from an idle mode to a connected mode. The method includes: prestoring, by a terminal device, a TA indication list of a group of cells; performing, by the terminal device, cell selection or reselection, and obtaining a cell identity of a cell obtained after the selection or reselection; querying, by the terminal device based on the cell identity, the TA indication list of the group of cells for a TA value corresponding to the cell identity; and if the terminal device successfully finds, in the TA indication list of the group of cells, the TA value corresponding to the cell identity, sending, by the terminal device, an uplink Radio Resource Control (RRC) message in a random access-free manner.

The present invention discloses a method of data retransmission in coordination service transmission and access network gateway thereof. Wherein, the method includes: in coordination service transmission, access network gateway receives the service data requested by the coordination terminal, caches the data and transmits it to the corresponding destination terminal; the access network gateway executes retransmission strategy, and when decides data retransmission is needed, retransmits the cached data to the corresponding destination terminal. The access network gateway is used to receive the service data requested by the coordination terminal, to cache the data and transmit it to the corresponding destination terminal, to retransmit the cached data to the corresponding destination terminal when data retransmission is needed. Using the present invention, to the problem of service data retransmission in coordination service transmission, the service data transmission efficiency is effectively improved.

A method and an apparatus for processing a handover of a terminal in a mobile communication system are provided. The method includes determining, by a source evolved-NodeB (eNB), a handover of a User Equipment (UE) to a target eNB, obtaining information about content transmitted to the UE from a source cache server connected to the source eNB over a backhaul network, and transmitting the content information to a target eNB.

In embodiments of the present disclosure improved capabilities are described for increasing the bandwidth in a wireless communication network, where centralized optimization servers with publish-subscribe broker services are utilized in conjunction with a queuing service application that provides packet service continuity when a mobile device moves between different access control nodes of the wireless communication network, and wherein the queuing service application is connected to a publish/subscribe broker network to receive service packets matching the service packets directed to the mobile device, wherein the service application makes the matching service packets available to the mobile device to replace service packets that the mobile device did not receive during a time in which the mobile device is in transition between being connected to any of the access nodes.

A service continuity ensuring method, a control plane gateway, and a mobility management network element, where the method includes: receiving, by a control plane gateway (C-GW), current location information of a user equipment (UE) sent by a mobility management network element; selecting, by the C-GW, at least one forwarding distributed gateway (D-GW) for the UE according to the current location information of the UE; establishing, by the C-GW for the UE, a data forwarding tunnel between a source D-GW of the UE and the forwarding D-GW; and establishing a data forwarding tunnel between the forwarding D-GW and a target base station of the UE, where the data forwarding tunnels are used to transmit uplink user plane data and/or downlink user plane data of the UE in a moving process of the UE.

To solve the problem wherein a terminal cannot perform data communication from a network from the time point of a terminal receiving a handover command (HO command) message from a base station controlling a source cell to the time point of a terminal receiving a handover complete (HO complete) message from a base station controlling a target cell, after the terminal transmits the handover command message to the base station controlling the source cell, the base station controlling the source cell transmits to the base station controlling the target cell whether or not the terminal supports a function of reducing the interruption time of data transfer, the terminal continues to perform data transmission/reception with the base station controlling the source cell, and after the terminal completes a random access procedure with the base station controlling the target cell, the base station controlling the source cell transmits an additional sequence number status transfer message to the base station controlling the target cell.

Methods related to an inactive state of a user equipment (UE). In one example, when an amount of data in an uplink buffer is less than a threshold, the data is sent to the network while remaining in the inactive state. In another example, when reselecting to a different cell, the UE attempts to reselect to the different cell and remain in the inactive state. When transitioning to a connected state at the reselected cell, the UE sends a resume request including an identification of the first cell. In another example, when a high priority or a background PLMN search is performed in the inactive state, the results are cached and implemented the earlier of when a timer expires or the UE enters an idle state. In another example, a cell reselection criteria is altered in the inactive state to make it less likely that a cell reselection will occur.
