Abstract
A UE path transfer method, a UE state conversion control method, a UE and a base station are provided. The UE path transfer method includes: acquiring a control instruction for controlling a UE to be switched from a dual-connection state into an inactive state from a first source access base station communicating with the UE via a first RAT, the dual-connection state of the UE being a state where a communication connection is established between the UE and the first source access base station via the first RAT and a further communication connection is established between the UE and a second source access base station via a second RAT; controlling the UE to be switched from the dual-connection state into the inactive state in accordance with the control instruction; and transmitting a link connection request to a target access base station and enabling the UE to access a core network via the target access base station when the UE in the inactive state is moved.
