    Abstract: The present invention discloses a base station, a terminal, and a handover method. The handover method includes: sending an indication message by a base station, wherein the indication message is used to instruct the terminal to further establish a connection to the base station through a second channel in a case in which the terminal maintains a connection to the base station through a first channel; receiving an access message by the base station through the first channel, wherein the access message indicates that the terminal has established the connection to the base station through the second channel; sending a handover command by the base station, wherein the handover command instructs the terminal to switch the communication with the base station from the first channel to the second channel; and switching, by the base station, communication with the terminal from the first channel to the second channel.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a data offloading method and a base station. The method includes: sending, by a master base station, a first request message to a mobility management control node, where the first request message includes an address of a local gateway of a secondary base station, and the first request message is used to request to perform data offloading at the local gateway of the secondary base station; receiving, by the master base station, a first response message that is sent by the mobility management control node according to the first request message, where the first response message includes a first related identifier ID of the local gateway of the secondary base station, and the first related ID is used to indicate a first bearer according to which data offloading is performed at the local gateway of the secondary base station.

    Abstract: A notification regarding a transition of a User Equipment (UE) from a standby operating mode to an active operating mode is exchanged between a UE and a network element in a communication network. The notification could be an uplink notification that is transmitted by the UE to the network element in response to an operating mode transition criterion for the UE being met at the UE, or a downlink notification that is transmitted by the network element to the UE in response to an operating mode transition criterion for the UE being met at the network element. The UE transitions from the standby operating mode to the active operating mode in response to the operating mode transition criterion being satisfied. The transmitter of the notification, which could be the UE or the network element, could also perform grant-free transmission of data without first receiving a response to the notification.
