The present invention relates to a method of relocating a serving radio network
controller (RNC) in a radio telecommunication system for switching a first RNC
which is assigning radio and network resources to a user equipment (UE) to a second
RNC replacing the first RNC for assigning radio and network resources to the UE
continuously. The radio telecommunication system also comprises a core network
which comprises a plurality of serving GPRS support node (SGSN). The first RNC
is coupled to a first SGSN of the plurality of SGSNs. The second RNC is coupled
to a second SGSN of the plurality of SGSNs. The method of the invention mainly
performs the routing path switch between the SGSN and the RNC in the SGSN level,
and is used in two modes: intra-SGSN mode and inter-SGSN mode.
