Abstract

A method and device for sharing a user equipment context are provided. The method for sharing a user equipment context includes: acquiring a global unique temporary identity (GUTI) of the UE in a network to which the UE is registered; in the case that a public land mobile network identity (PLMN-ID) in the GUTI is a neutral host access indicator (NHAMI) representing a unique network identity shared by a global Multefire neutral host (NH) network, determining that the network to which the UE is registered is a NH network, and acquiring a NH network identity (NHN-ID) of the NH network to which the UE is registered; and acquiring, based on the NHN-ID and the GUTI, context information of the UE in the network to which the UE is registered.
