Abstract
Disclosed are an S1AP signaling transmission method and apparatus. The method comprises: an intelligent mobile edge device receives an SCTP message carrying uplink S1AP signaling of a terminal sent by a Small Cell, determines an operator network corresponding to the terminal according to an S1AP ID carried in the uplink S1AP signaling, and sends the SCTP message carrying the uplink S1AP signaling to the He-GW of the operator network; the intelligent mobile edge device receives an SCTP message carrying downlink S1AP signaling of the terminal sent by the He-GW of the operator network, determines the Small Cell corresponding to the terminal according to an S1AP ID carried in the downlink S1AP signaling, and sends the SCTP message carrying the downlink S1AP signaling to the Small Cell. In this way, a Small Cell may access networks of multiple operators to provide network services for terminals of different operators.
