Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of mobile communications, and provide an IP address assignment apparatus, system, and method. The method includes: receiving, by a mobility management network element, a connection establishment request of a terminal; sending the connection establishment request to a packet data gateway; and assigning, by the packet data gateway, an IP address to the terminal according to a correspondence between user location information carried in the connection establishment request and an IP address pool. In the present invention, a problem in the background that when a packet data gateway randomly assigns an IP address to UE, an Internet operator cannot identify another characteristic of the UE according to the IP address of the UE is resolved, and effects that the packet data gateway can assign an IP address according to a location of a terminal, and different IP addresses are assigned at different regions are achieved. |
