Abstract

The embodiments of the application disclose a mobile handover method. The method includes: a first network device receives first information, and learns that a first terminal device is handed over to a target access network device. The first network device sends second information to a second network device, and the second network device determines, based on the second information, whether to reselect a target user plane function device for the first terminal device; and/or the first network device sends third information to a third network device, and the third network device determines, based on the third information, whether to reselect a target application server for the first terminal device. If the target user plane function device and/or the target application server need/needs to be reselected, a user plane function device and/or an application server need/needs to be handed over in a timely manner.
