Abstract  Abstract

A method and a system for maintaining session continuity, in which the system includes: a Handover Source Function (HOSF), a Handover Destination Function (HODF), a Handover Anchor Function-Control Plane (HOAF-CP) and a Handover Anchor Function-User Plane (HOAF-UP). The method includes: a first user establishing a connection through the HOSF with the HOAF-CP and the HOAF-UP which correspond to a second user, so as to establishing a session with the second user; during session handover, the HODF that corresponds to the HOSF establishing another connection with the HOAF-CP and HOAF-UP though which the first user continues the session with the second user, so as to maintain the session continuity. When the access address or the access means of the terminal changes, or even the terminal changes during a session, embodiments of the present invention can logically replace the connection before the handover with a new connection to ensure the session continuity.
