Abstract

The present invention provides an interworking functional entity and a protocol mapping method of the interworking functional entity. The interworking functional entity includes: a first receiving module, configured to receive an Rp reference point protocol message from a top-tier transport resource control functional entity; a first protocol converting module, configured to convert the Rp reference point protocol message into an access node control protocol (ANCP) message; and a first sending module, configured to send the ANCP message obtained by conversion to a co-located transport resource control functional entity arranged in an access node. The technical solution provided by the present invention can solve the problem of interaction among a plurality of transport control functional entities under the case that the plurality of transport control functional entities are cooperatively responsible for the user resource management.
