The method includes: obtaining, by user equipment UE, a MAC of the UE based on a NAS integrity key and a first MAC generation parameter, where the first MAC generation parameter includes an identifier of the UE; sending, by the UE, a re-establishment request message to a target RAN, where the re-establishment request message includes the MAC and the first MAC generation parameter; and receiving, by the UE, a re-establishment response message of the target RAN. The UE triggers, by sending the re-establishment request message, a CP functional entity to perform authentication on the UE. The method and apparatus of the present disclosure address a problem that an excessively long time is consumed to re-establish a connection to a target RAN by using an RAU procedure, increases a speed of re-establishing a connection between UE and a network, and improves user experience.
