<p>The present application discloses a method and device for updating a tracking area list, which method comprises: determining, by a mobility management entity, whether a tracking area list allocated to a user device has been changed; determining, when the tracking area is changed, whether there is no tunnel management message on an S11 interface; and when there is no tunnel management message, sending, by the mobility management entity, a message to a serving gateway, with the message carrying a changed tracking area list or indication information capable of determining the changed tracking area list. The mobility management entity transfers a tracking area list to the serving gateway only when the tracking area list of the user device changes and can still transfer a new tracking area list to the serving gateway even when there is no tunnel management message on the S11 interface, thereby remedying the defects in the solutions in the prior art.</p> |
