Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a system for releasing bearers at time of handover are disclosed by the present invention. The method includes: obtaining information about bearers of a local breakout service of a User Equipment (UE) if it is decided to initiate handover of the UE; and triggering the UE to hand over from a source Home NodeB (HNB) to a target base station according to the information about bearers of the local breakout service, where the target base station does not set up any bearer of the local breakout service. According to the present invention, the target base station does not set up any local breakout service bearer of the UE or forward the data of the local breakout service, which saves resources and prevents errors of routing local breakout service packets.

Most of the air, together with the unwanted solvent vapor, is removed from the aerosol stream during the process of aerosol concentration. The output aerosol carries the dry particles to be inhaled by the patient. The respiratory-governed control of aerosol fluid generation system delivers fluid containing the test agent of interest (drug or toxin) to the aerosol generator throughout inhalation.
