METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REDUCING HANDOVER SIGNALING

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and network side device for reducing handover signaling. The method includes: determining, by a network side device, a handover frequency of an inactive user equipment in a first preset time; and when the handover frequency is larger than or equal to a predetermined threshold, sending, by the network side device, a message to the inactive user equipment, so that the inactive user equipment enters a radio resource control idle state. In solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, when a handover frequency reaches a certain value, a user equipment is set to an RRC idle state; therefore, the quantity of handover signaling during a movement process of an inactive user equipment may be reduced, and an overhead of handover signaling is reduced, thereby reducing power consumption of the user equipment and improving power saving performance of the user equipment.
