Abstract
A cell handover method, apparatus, and system, where the cell handover method includes receiving, by a mobile edge computing (MEC) server, status information of a mobile terminal from a source cell, where the status information includes location information and speed information, determining, by the MEC server, a target cell based on the status information, where the MEC server serves the target cell, the target cell is neighboring to the source cell, and coverage of the target cell partially overlaps coverage of the source cell, and sending, by the MEC server, an identifier of the target cell to the mobile terminal using the source cell. According to the cell handover method, apparatus, and system provided in this application, cell handover is controlled using the MEC server to improve efficiency of the cell handover.
