Abstract
A handover method in a master-slave network, and a master device, and slave devices are provided. The method includes when a master device or a first slave device determines that a user device needs to be handed over to a second slave device, the first slave device sends, to the second slave device, a first identifier of a first network interface allocated by the first slave device to the user device, and first network connection information used after the user device establishes a connection to the first network interface of the first slave device. The first identifier of the first network interface and a second identifier of the user device correspond on a one-to-one basis. The first slave device deactivates the first network interface and the second slave device activates a second network interface.
