Abstract

A method for determining relocation process and a method for determining handover process are proposed in the present invention. Wherein the method for determining relocation process includes: informing, by a home base station (HNB) gateway (GW) or an operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) device, the HNB of information of whether the HNB GW supports an optimized relocation process; determining, by the HNB, the relocation process to be implemented for the user equipment (UE) according to the information of whether the HNB GW supports the optimized relocation process. The methods according to the present invention may reduce the failure probability of the relocation/handover and improve the relocation/handover efficiency.
