Method and device for processing hanging up and recovery of load bearing

The invention discloses method and device for processing the hanging up and the recovery of load bearing. The method for processing the hanging up of the load bearing comprises the following steps of: receiving a notice of hanging up the load bearing, wherein the notice is sponsored by a network element of an access network; notifying S-GW to hang up the load bearing of the single side of SGSN (Service GPRS Supporting Node) or MME (Multi Media Extension) or the load bearing of both sides of the SGSN and the MME; and synchronizing the hanging-up states of the SGSN and the MME to the hanging-up state of the single side of the SGSN or the MME or the hanging-up states of both sides of the SGSN and the MME. The method for processing the recovery of the load bearing comprises the following steps of: receiving a notice of recovering the load bearing, wherein the notice is sponsored by user equipment or the network element of the access network; notifying the S-G to recover the load bearing of the single side of the SGSN or the MME or the load bearing of both sides of the SGSN and the MME; and synchronizing the recovering states of the SGSN and the MME to the recovering state of the single side of the SGSN or the MME or the recovering states of both sides of the SGSN and the MME. The invention is suitable for unifying the hanging-up state and the recovering state of the load bearing.
