Abstract
The embodiments of the present invention provide a base station, a network controller, and a forward handover method. The base station includes a first base station to which a target cell of user equipment belongs and a second base station to which the user equipment belongs, where the second base station includes: a second processor and a second transceiver, the second processor generates a forward handover indication, and the second transceiver sends the forward handover indication to the first base station, so that when receiving an RRC re-establishment request message of the user equipment, the first base station acquires context information of the user equipment from the second base station according to the forward handover indication. In the foregoing manner, the user equipment can independently select a target cell, and overcomes a disadvantage of violating a basic criterion in the prior art that mobility management is determined and controlled by a network.
