Bearer processing method and mobile management device

Abstract

A bearer processing method and a network device are provided. The method includes: determining whether a corresponding user equipment (UE) exists, if user subscription data recorded in a mobile management device is changed; and initiating a bearer modification or deletion process by the mobile management device according to the determining result with regard to whether the UE exists. The mobile management device includes: a storage unit, adapted to record user subscription data; a determination unit, adapted to determine whether a corresponding UE exists, after the user subscription data recorded in the storage unit is changed; and a trigger unit, adapted to initiate a bearer modification or deletion process according to the determining result with respect to whether the UE exists.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bearer processing method, comprising:
 if user subscription data of the UE is changed,   determining, by a mobile management device, whether a user equipment (UE) is in an Idle state or a Connection state;   not initiating a bearer modification or deletion process if the UE is in the Idle state;   detecting that the UE has been in the Connection state when the UE initiates a service request process; and then initiating the bearer modification or deletion process.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein
 determining, by the mobile management device, the UE is in the Idle state or the Connection state, further comprises:   determining, by the mobile management device, the UE is in the Idle state, if the mobile management device queries and finds that a user mobile management state in saved user context is the Idle state or the Connection state.   
     
     
         3 . A mobile management device, comprising:
 a storage unit, adapted to record user subscription data;   a determination unit, adapted to determine a user equipment (UE) is in an Idle state or a Connection state, if the user subscription data of the UE is changed;   a trigger unit, adapted to not initiate a bearer modification or deletion process if the UE is in the Idle state, and initiate the bearer modification or deletion process when detect that the UE has been in the Connection state after the UE initiates a service request process.   
     
     
         4 . The mobile management device according to  claim 3 , wherein the determination unit adapted to determine the user equipment (UE) is in the Idle state or the Connection state comprises: the determination unit adapted to query and find that a user mobile management state in saved user context is the Idle state or the Connection state.
