Abstract

La présente divulgation se rapporte au domaine technique des communications, et concerne plus précisément un procédé de communication, un dispositif et un support de stockage. Le procédé est exécuté par un premier dispositif de réseau d'accès, et le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès est le dispositif de service actuel d'un terminal. Le procédé consiste à : sous une première condition, envoyer des premières informations à un premier dispositif de réseau central et/ou envoyer des secondes informations à un second dispositif de réseau d'accès, les premières informations et/ou les secondes informations étant utilisées pour ordonner d'exécuter un processus de migration de contexte de terminal, le processus de migration de contexte de terminal comprenant un processus de commutation d'un seul terminal ou des processus de migration de contexte d'une pluralité de terminaux, la première condition étant qu'un changement se produit dans une liaison de communication entre le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès et le premier dispositif de réseau central, et le premier dispositif de réseau central étant le dispositif de service actuel du terminal. Lorsqu'il est déterminé qu'un changement s'est produit ou est sur le point de se produire dans la liaison de communication entre le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès et le premier dispositif de réseau central, le terminal reçoit l'instruction d'exécuter une commutation ou une migration de contexte, ce qui permet d'assurer la continuité de service d'un terminal connecté et d'éviter une interruption de service du terminal.
