Abstract

A method and apparatus for transferring bearing in a layered network are disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, which relate to wireless communications field and are used to avoid failure when transferring bearing in user layer so as to improve communications quality of users. In the present application, after judging the need for transferring a Data Wireless Bearing DRB of a terminal to a Closed Subscriber Group CSG Local eNB, a Macro eNB determines whether to allow the terminal to access the CSG Local eNB and initiates a bearing transferring process to the CSG Local eNB if so. The CSG Local eNB accepts a bearing transferring request carrying CSG member status information of the terminal sent by the Macro eNB and implements accessing control for the separated bearing of the terminal according to the CSG member status information. Thus it can be seen said problems can be avoided.
