The present invention relates to a method of UE mobility management and a
mobile communication system of implementing this method, where the system
includes: a core network communicating with the universal terrestrial
radio access network (UTRAN) via the Iu interface; UTRAN consisting of
multiple radio network systems (RNS) and communicating with one or more
UE via the Uu interface, and each said RNS comprising a radio network
controller (RNC) and one or more nodes communicating with said RNC via
the Iub interface, while communication between RNC being performed via
the Iur interface; UTRAN controlling UE mobility management through radio
resource control (RRC) signalling of the Uu interface; and said method
includes: UE transmitting uplink RRC signalling information to a first
RNC to request UE mobility management; the first RNC receiving and
forwarding said uplink RRC signalling information to the core network;
the core network forwarding transparently said uplink RRC signalling
information to a second RNC; and the second RNC receiving and utilizing
said uplink RRC signalling information to perform the required mobility
management.
