Abstract
The present invention discloses a network handover method, where after UE in an LTE network requests circuit switched fallback CSFB, an MME instructs an eNB to move the UE from the LTE network to a 2G or 3G network, and requests an MSC to hand over the UE from the LTE network to a CS domain of the 2G or 3G network for the CSFB, so that the 2G or 3G network allocates a CS domain resource to the UE. After handing over to the CS domain, the UE may perform a CS domain call. By using embodiments of the present invention, an access delay is reduced when the UE accesses the CS domain of the 2G or 3G network, duration of an entire voice call is shortened, and user experience is improved.
