Abstract
Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of wireless communications, relating specifically to a method and a device for handling a mobility management context, for use in solving the problem in the prior art of an increase in signaling consumption or network load due to the absence of a defined duration of storage for the mobility management context on a network side. The method comprises: upon a network congestion and rejecting a request from a terminal, a network side device activating a first context timer for the terminal; if the request of the terminal is received and accepted before the first context timer times out, the network side device retaining a mobility management context corresponding to the terminal; if the request of the terminal is not received, or is received but not accepted before the first context timer times out, the network side device deleting the mobility management context corresponding to the terminal. As the duration of storage is defined for the mobility management context on the network side, the signaling consumption and the network load are thereby reduced.
