Description

Realize method and terminal that the multi-user is simultaneously online

Technical field

The present invention relates to wireless communication technology field, relate in particular to the implementation of a kind of user's with a plurality of ownership heterogeneous networks terminal.

Background technology

In mobile communication system, the terminal of using is a single-user equipment usually, and it has a telephone number In the view of the user.And in communication system inside, be actually and adopt user identification number to distinguish the user, this user identification number is corresponding with subscriber directory number, links together with terminal in some way, and for example: the SIM card in the insertion terminal has been preserved user's users' such as identification number information.Communication system connects user identification number and telephone number, realizes both conversions.

Based on the telephone number of above-mentioned terminal and the corresponding relation of user identification number, it has been generally acknowledged that telephone number and user identification number are of equal value, a plurality of subscriber directory numbers have implied a plurality of user identification numbers.That is to say that terminal has only a telephone number usually, this number belongs to certain network.

Along with the opening of telecommunication market has formed the environment of multi-operator competition, operator provides different services by different networks to the consumer, for example, and the difference of rate and professional difference etc.In some cases, the user can use the service of different networks simultaneously, and for example: the user has two Mobile Directory Number or user identification number, belongs to network A and network B respectively, and wishes that two numbers work simultaneously.

To enumerate several users below and use the applicable cases of heterogeneous networks service simultaneously:

Situation 1: users from networks A obtains different services with network B, obtains voice service from network A, obtains data service at a high speed from network B.

Situation 2: the user often goes down, owing to the reason of rate can be used local signatory mobile phone service, rather than roaming service, the user uses roaming network A and local network B.For example: the user of China Mobile contract signing place is Shenzhen, and this user is again that UNICOM is the contracted user of Pekinese.As this user during in Beijing, as the roamer of China Mobile, use the network of China Mobile, simultaneously as the native client of UNICOM, use the network of UNICOM, at this moment, A is two different networks that belong to different operators with B.

Situation 3: the user is because certain demand need change number commonly used, but former number also must continue to use a period of time in case important phone is omitted.

Demand for above-mentioned several situations, if the user holds a plurality of terminals, it is feasible being respectively applied for different networks, but because the inconvenience of carrying multi-section terminal and accessory thereof, the user often wishes that the number that is operated in heterogeneous networks can work simultaneously, and need not to carry the multi-section terminal, like this, will bring very big application facility to the user.

At present, in existing network environment, the communication process of existing terminal with a plurality of users as shown in Figure 1, terminal A among the figure has inserted two different subscriber identification modules such as SIM or UIM, like this, terminal A has two user identification number ID, i.e. A1 and A2.When ID A1 logging in network, and when obtaining the communication service, reception of network or initiating communication, another user identification number ID A2 will be in detached (off-line state), can't obtain the communication service of network.A user identification number is promptly at any time only arranged in work, the different user identification number can not be worked simultaneously.And another terminal with a plurality of users among the figure is terminal B, is only to set up calling and carry out corresponding billing operation by single ID B, promptly can't distinguish the business of being used separately by interface 1 and interface 2.Therefore, above-mentioned terminal with a plurality of users can't fully satisfy user's communications and charging demand.

For addressing the above problem, at present, industry has proposed a kind of technic relization scheme with terminal of a plurality of customer identification informations, and it can be so that each terminal use in the consolidated network can work simultaneously, and corresponding implementation is as follows:

In terminal, store a plurality of customer identification informations in the consolidated network (being same system), and all user identification information may are carried out the network registration flow process one by one, as start, shutdown, change in location etc.Because paging group is fixed at cycle appearance and the time location of each paging group in paging cycle on the paging channel, so, terminal can calculate paging group under it respectively at each customer identification information, promptly shine upon processing, be mapped to a paging group with different identity identification informations is unique, thereby obtain the time location that the corresponding respectively beep-page message of each user identification information may occurs; Afterwards, terminal just can be monitored each user's paging successively at above-mentioned each time location that obtains.

In this implementation, described terminal to the snoop procedure of paging group as shown in Figure 2, specifically may further comprise the steps under idle condition:

Step 200, the terminal with a plurality of identity identification informations are monitored the paging group under one of them identity identification information;

Each identity identification information of terminal can only be mapped in the paging group, and terminal should be chosen one of them paging group, and monitor according to the order of the paging group under a plurality of identity identification informations.

Receive corresponding beep-page message to step 210, terminal according to the paging group of monitoring.

Extract the customer identification information in the beep-page message of its reception to step 220, terminal.

Whether the identity identification information that customer identification information in step 230, the terminal judges beep-page message and terminal have mates, if coupling, to step 231, promptly terminal is carried out page response according to the identity identification information of coupling, and the snoop procedure of this paging cycle finishes.

In step 230, if do not match, to step 240, be whether all customer identification informations in the terminal judges beep-page message have all carried out matching operation with the identity identification information of terminal, if all customer identification informations in the beep-page message all carry out the overmatching operation, to step 220, customer identification information is extracted in continuation from beep-page message, then, to step 230, carry out the matching judgment process.

In step 240, if all customer identification informations in the beep-page message have all carried out matching operation, to step 250, whether terminal judges is all monitored the paging group under its each identity identification information that has, if all monitor, to step 260, i.e. the next paging cycle of terminal wait, the snoop procedure of this paging cycle finishes.

In step 250, if the paging group that terminal need be monitored in addition, to step 270, terminal need continue other paging groups are monitored, and to step 200, terminal is according to the order of the paging group under a plurality of identity identification informations, continue to choose one of them paging group, and monitor.

If terminal receives and carries a plurality of customer identification informations in a certain beep-page message, then all to repeat the comparison procedure of the customer identification information shown in the step 220 among Fig. 2,230,240 to each customer identification information in this beep-page message.

Have other processes that the terminal of multi-user's identity identification information is carried out in paging, identical with the operation that the terminal with single user identification information may is carried out in paging.

The corresponding paging group tabulation of user identification information may that terminal comprises mapping, and the corresponding relation of paging group member tabulation as shown in Figure 3.

In Fig. 3, to set certain terminal and have three user identification information may, these three user identification information may are: IMSI-1, IMSI-2 and IMSI-3 perhaps are: TMSI-1, TMSI-2 and IMSI-3.A user identification information may that has comprised this terminal among the paging group PG-1, i.e. IMSI-1 or TMSI-1, and comprised two other user identification information may of this terminal among the paging group PG-2, i.e. IMSI-2 and IMSI-3, perhaps TMSI-2 and TMSI-3.

Comprise a cover wireless receiving and dispatching passage in the terminal, terminal is monitored beep-page message at PG-1 and PG-2 time corresponding position respectively by this wireless receiving and dispatching passage.

The mode of a plurality of paging groups of terminal monitoring as shown in Figure 4, the terminal period shown in the shade in Fig. 4 with multi-user's identity identification information is monitored two paging groups respectively.

Usually, the beep-page message of the customer identification information correspondence in the different paging groups has difference successively in time, still, belongs to the situation of same paging group for different user identity identification information in the terminal, and the time location that its beep-page message occurs is identical.But,, sequencing is arranged also between these user identification information may even the different user identity identification information of terminal appears in the same beep-page message.Terminal is in case determine certain user identification information may that the user identification information may in the beep-page message has with it and mate, and the coupling of follow-up user identification information may is ignored in this paging that makes an immediate response; Finish when calling, after terminal enters idle condition, just proceed paging and monitor.

As can be seen, in this implementation, multi-user mode can the multi-user of support performance in consolidated network be monitored, and guarantees that it is simultaneously online.In Fig. 4, PG-1 and PG-2 are necessary in the consolidated network two fixedly paging groups, could guarantee that IMSI-1, IMSI-2 and IMSI-3 are simultaneously online.But different networks, the mode of operation difference, the frequency difference does not particularly have synchronized relation in time, and the cycle of paging is also different.Online paging when therefore, above-mentioned implementation can't realize being operated in a plurality of user identification code in the heterogeneous networks.

Such scheme can further be promoted the following scheme that obtains, and realizes that a plurality of users of single terminal end can be simultaneously online:

Multi-user's identity identification information of terminal is realized by a plurality of wireless receiving and dispatching channels.That is to say that terminal has many group baseband processing units and RF processing units, terminal, all is assigned to and respectively organizes the wireless receiving and dispatching passage and finish as the processing of monitoring paging, supervisory user and making a call etc. the processing of its each user identification information may that has.Each wireless receiving and dispatching passage is responsible for monitoring the beep-page message on the corresponding paging group time location of some customer identification informations.

Still with reference to Fig. 3, example shown in Figure 4, in the method, distribute the wireless receiving and dispatching passage based on paging group, promptly by the beep-page message on the corresponding paging group time location of first wireless receiving and dispatching passage monitoring PG-1, by the beep-page message on the corresponding time location of paging group PG-2 at second wireless receiving and dispatching passage monitoring IMSI-2 and IMSI-3 place, that is to say, only be responsible for carrying out the call treatment of IMSI-2 and IMSI-3 by a wireless receiving and dispatching passage.

Each is organized between the wireless receiving and dispatching passage and can help each other, and the processing of all customer identification informations of terminal is respectively organized the wireless receiving and dispatching passage and finished as monitoring processing such as paging, supervisory user make a call, dynamically being assigned to.If user's communications takies certain wireless receiving and dispatching passage, other unappropriated wireless receiving and dispatching passages need be monitored other user identification information may beyond this user, have only when all wireless receiving and dispatching passage all occupiedly, terminal just can't continue to monitor beep-page message.

Terminal with many group wireless receiving and dispatching passages can be shared the wireless receiving and dispatching passage, thereby makes terminal can support more user.

Proposed a terminal in the existing implementation and supported the method that a plurality of numbers are worked simultaneously, but being only limited to these numbers belongs to same network, also is applicable to the special case of situation 2, be i.e. roaming network and the local signatory identical situation of complete network.That is to say that the channel-monitoring scheme that provides in the prior art can't support terminal be in the application scenarios in the heterogeneous networks.

Embodiment

Embodiments of the invention can be so that a terminal may be simultaneously operated in the different networks, therefore terminal can be supported a plurality of user identification code that are operated in heterogeneous networks (being different system) simultaneously, promptly in terminal, preserve the customer identification information of a plurality of users in the different system, and online when can ensure for the user.Each user can login in heterogeneous networks simultaneously with different user identification information may, uses a plurality of telephone numbers of heterogeneous networks simultaneously, obtains service at different networks, and avoids carrying the inconvenience of a plurality of terminals.Wherein, the user of different system utilizes customer identification information separately to communicate by letter with realization by carrying out the monitoring task at different channels.

Described different network can be constructed system (being the network of same communication pattern), be the GSM network as two networks, also can be different technologies system (being the network of different communication modes), be respectively GSM network and WCDMA network as two networks.

The task of needing in the terminal terminal resources such as transceiver are monopolized is broadly divided into two classes, one class is strict task regularly, terminal can only be operated in the time of appointment, as monitor task, terminal is by learning that at the channel-monitoring of specific period network is to user's paging, the common parameter of acquisition system, these beep-page message and broadcast control messages, only appear at definite period, miss this time and just lost message the user; Another kind of task is comparatively flexible to the requirement of time, can postpone to carry out, as: the registration of network, call request etc.

Wherein, embodiments of the invention mainly improve at the snoop procedure of terminal exactly.Embodiments of the invention are in the specific implementation process, because terminal works in a plurality of networks, need be taken into account the operation in the heterogeneous networks.And not having synchronized relation between the different networks, i.e. may there be conflict in operation in the heterogeneous networks in time.Therefore, the realization of embodiments of the invention is the monitoring collision problems that may occur in order to solve.

Embodiments of the invention are in specific implementation process, specifically be used for having a plurality of users' of different system terminal, wherein, the snoop-operations that different user need carry out the channel of different system, and, in terminal, the channel of described different system can be for comprising at least a channel in all channels that need monitor that subscriber paging information or system information obtain.Described different system can be the system of different technologies system, also can be the system of different system parameter configuration under the same technical system.

The monitoring processing procedure that embodiments of the invention provide comprises:

(1) at first,, on the terminal of a plurality of users with different system, determine the monitoring moment of each channel of the different system that terminal need be monitored, generate the monitoring task, monitor task dispatching as paging at a plurality of users of different system;

(2) determine at a time whether to exist task to carry out conflict with predetermined conflict resolution condition constantly according to this monitoring task executions;

Described conflict resolution condition can be the minimal difference between the monitoring constantly of two predetermined tasks, promptly when the monitoring of determining the current newly-generated monitoring task that needs to insert formation constantly and the difference of other task executions between the time in the formation less than this minimum value, then confirm to clash, and trigger described step (3); Be specially: whether that judge to need inserts the task of having existed in the task of formation and the formation has an execution overlapping period, and whether the blanking time between non-overlapping two tasks is less than the definite numerical value of predetermined conflict resolution condition, if have overlapping or blanking time less than definite numerical value, then confirm between corresponding two tasks to exist conflict, need be according to step (3) processing that conflicts; Otherwise, confirm not have conflict between two tasks, directly insert newly-increased task;

(3) determine in the task of having the moment needs execution of monitoring conflict according to the monitoring conflict processing policy of being scheduled to, afterwards, should the monitoring task insert task queue if determine, then carry out the operation of the insertion formation of this monitoring task, and other task items that this period clashes are cancelled from task queue, finally constantly it is monitored in the monitoring of this task correspondence; If determine to carry out unborn task in the formation (for monitoring task or communication task), then should the monitoring task not insert in the formation in the corresponding moment;

Described monitoring conflict processing policy comprises and can determine whether current newly-generated task can be inserted in the formation according to task executions priority (as monitoring precedence information etc.).

(4) execute the task in chronological order each monitoring task and communication task in the formation wherein, for the monitoring task, specifically are to monitor task executions and carry out channel-monitoring constantly arriving, and carry out according to snoop results that respective communication is handled or new task generates.

To monitor at the paging of terminal is example, and terminal specifically is to carry out the paging snoop-operations in idle condition; The snoop procedure of paging is regularly strict, be that terminal need be monitored paging channel in the specific period, to know the paging of network, because beep-page message only appears at definite period, so will lose if miss corresponding beep-page message of this time to the user; And the paging between the heterogeneous networks monitors and may clash in time, can only carry out the paging of a network and monitors if clash terminal then, and can't receive the beep-page message of other networks, thereby may cause losing of beep-page message; The experience that influence the user is understood in losing of beep-page message, therefore, in communication network rational monitoring mechanism should be set, to reduce losing beep-page message as far as possible.Certainly, obtain the scheme that the snoop procedure of information can adopt embodiments of the invention to provide equally for other in the channel-monitoring mode and carry out snoop-operations, concrete implementation procedure is with to seek snoop procedure similar.

Embodiments of the invention specifically are by reasonably dispatching the operation of arranging in the different networks by terminal, make terminal receive beep-page message as much as possible from heterogeneous networks, reduce because the losing of the beep-page message that time conflict causes, thereby make terminal can in a plurality of networks, keep online simultaneously the user.

Below with reference to shown in Figure 5, the conflict situations that may occur the paging listening period of heterogeneous networks describes.

As shown in Figure 5, have two users (two different subscriber identification modules) to be operated in network A and network B respectively in the terminal, the time location of the paging channel that it is monitored is separately represented with PA and PB.The paging cycle of network A and network B is respectively Ta and Tb.The time location of PA and PB has been shown among Fig. 5, PA and the PB particular location in paging cycle be by network parameter and customer identification information common determine.

Because the paging cycle Ta of network A and network B is different with Tb, the relative time position of PA and PB is not fixed, and promptly the Tgap among Fig. 5 is changing.Therefore, conflict may occur at two users' monitoring, monitoring conflict in time specifically comprises following several situation:

(1) PA and PB carve at a time and overlap or overlap;

(2) PA and PB close enough in time, at interval less than certain time value Tmin, described time value Tmin is a transceiver from the mode switch that is operated in a network to the needed time of the pattern of another network, and its occurrence is to determine according to the hardware and software of terminal.

When clashing, terminal only can be monitored at a certain network, and ignores the snoop-operations in other certain networks, and this just will inevitably cause losing of the snoop-operations moment.Because in the snoop-operations of being lost constantly, the beep-page message at the user of this terminal is arranged not necessarily, therefore, the snoop-operations of losing not necessarily impacts; In addition, even because of the snoop-operations of losing causes not receiving beep-page message to the user of this terminal, but because there is the retransmission mechanism of beep-page message in protocol hierarchy more than physical layer, so the losing on a small quantity usually of snoop-operations during this situation can not impact user experience.

Embodiments of the invention are attempted just by rational scheduling strategy, judging that the paging from heterogeneous networks exists under the situation of monitoring conflict, determine to keep the paging snoop-operations that abandons other networks at the paging snoop-operations of a certain network according to predetermined strategy, described predetermined strategy needs to make terminal reduce as far as possible because the losing of the beep-page message that the listening period conflict causes.

For ease of understanding to embodiments of the invention, be example with each single paging task executions whole process in the gsm system below, the explanation that the realization of embodiments of the invention is carried out.As shown in Figure 6, specifically may further comprise the steps:

Step 71: carry out initialization operation;

From a plurality of customer identification informations of user terminal storage, obtain first customer identification information;

At this customer identification information, the mode of operation of transceiver is set, the job network that search is corresponding is set up and network synchronous, comprises time synchronized and Frequency Synchronization, and access network is finished user's registration;

At this customer identification information, also write down working environment parameter that should network transceiver, as: the technical system of network, the frequency that takies, timing information etc., described timing information comprises: the frame of system regularly, the timing of channel, paging cycle etc., each timing information all is that the local clock with terminal is reference; According to each working environment parameter, terminal just can return to the working method of the network of corresponding appointment apace, and does not need to carry out again waiting synchronously operation;

Afterwards, read other customer identification information more successively and carry out same aforesaid operations successively, and for related different network, this process can be the series process of an order, but in each network, corresponding operation is separate.

Step 72: paging monitoring task generates;

The paging channel that needs in the heterogeneous networks to monitor is created periodically paging monitoring task, and the corresponding cycle (being listening period) is the cycle of corresponding paging channel, or generates paging monitoring task in the task implementation; Information such as the network that comprises monitoring in the information (being task description) of task correspondence, channel, time of implementation, time span are monitored in described paging;

Step 73: task conflict detects to be handled;

The new paging monitoring task that generates is inserted in the process of task queue, at first needs to detect whether to exist between the existing task in current being inserted into of task and the task queue and conflict, so that the monitoring conflict that may occur is handled;

Step 74: in task collision detection process, judge whether conflict to occur, if determine to clash, then execution in step 75, otherwise, execution in step 76;

Step 75: the monitoring priority of calculating the monitoring task;

Execution priority between the task that calculating clashes is so that determine insert or keep which task according to corresponding execution priority;

Wherein, for the monitoring task, the described execution priority of its correspondence (promptly monitoring priority) is that the priority of the number priority that is provided with by the user, channel self and monitoring task are monitored/ignored information such as number of times continuously and calculate by default priority algorithm and obtain, for example, after determining the weight of each parameter, adopt definite described execution priorities such as weighted average algorithm, certainly, also can adopt other algorithm computation to determine each task executions priority;

Step 76: adjust task queue;

Result according to described step 74 or 75 carries out monitoring adjustment task, the insertion of finishing the work.Under the situation of conflict, keep in task queue or the highest task of insertion execution priority, other lower tasks of deletion execution priority make the task in the formation not have conflict each other, according to the time of implementation sequence arrangement, so that carry out conflict free snoop-operations.

Step 77: paging is monitored;

From task queue, take out paging and monitor task, the operational environment of transceiver is set according to the current time, for monitoring is got ready;

Afterwards, transceiver is at the appointed time monitored the allocated channel of specified network.

Step 78: if snoop procedure receives effective beep-page message, then go to execution in step 79, otherwise go to execution in step 72;

Step 79: user identification information may coupling;

Be specially and check whether contain the content of mating in the beep-page message that receives, to determine whether existing this terminal need receive the beep-page message of processing with the user identification information may of terminal;

Step 710: if contain the content of mating, execution in step 711 in the beep-page message that receives with the user identification information may of terminal; Otherwise, execution in step 72;

Step 711: generate the page response task, insert in the task queue;

Step 712: carry out page response;

In this step, be specially the page response task of carrying out, insert the network that sends beep-page message, enter traditional communications status.At this moment to enter transceiver be that communication process is monopolized to terminal, and the paging of all generations is monitored task and all will be left in the basket, and promptly no longer carries out the paging snoop-operations.

Step 713: communication process finishes, and returns and carries out described step 72.

And when other instant messaging generic tasks (as make a call etc.) insert task queue,, the execution priority higher than the monitoring task is set usually because of it is had relatively high expectations to promptness.

In above-mentioned processing procedure, be the communication requirement that realizes that the multi-user is simultaneously online, existing terminal part communication process flow process is improved, concrete improvement comprises: increased scheduling process to handle the operation in the heterogeneous networks, particularly monitor, relate to initialization, synchronously, processes such as paging and access.And the signaling process of detailed process is not changed, the network equipment does not need to make amendment.

Below will the invention will be further described with a concrete application example.

In the network of all kinds of technical systems, special-purpose periodic paging channel is arranged all.The paging channel of gsm system is PAGCH (paging and access permission channel comprise PCH and AGCH channel), and the middle employing of IS-95CDMA system is to the monitoring of F-PCH (Forward Paging Channel) channel; And in 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), adopted periodic Page Indication Channel and common cooperation of paging channel to finish paging function, the paging channel of CDMA2000 1X system be F-QPCH (quick paging channel) in conjunction with F-PCH or F-CCCH (Forward Common Control Channel), the paging channel of WCDMA system is PICH (Page Indication Channel) and PCH (paging channel).

In this application example, terminal works is at the network of two different systems: the standard of network A is CDMA 2000, and network B is the GSM network.

Because terminal works is in the different network of two network formats, thereby requires the transceiver function of terminal to be operated under two kinds of patterns, has the signal handling capacity of handling GSM network and cdma network.

Terminal is in the GSM network, and the paging channel that needs to monitor is PCH (paging channel).Paging cycle is determined by the parameter in the system message; The customer identification information that contains the paging object in the message that paging channel issues.

Describe as can be known by the front, in CDMA 2000 networks, the paging channel that needs periodically to monitor is quick paging channel F-QPCH, the channel (paging channel F-PCH or the Common Control Channel F-CCCH that occur have subsequently only been predicted in the message that is sent on this channel, lag behind F-QPCH frame certain hour) in whether the beep-page message that belongs to certain paging group is arranged, it does not contain user's identity identification information, in a single day and wherein having comprised effective information (promptly predicted in the channel that occurs subsequently whether the beep-page message that belongs to certain paging group is arranged), the corresponding beep-page message that belongs to certain paging group must appear on then follow-up F-PCH or the F-CCCH channel.

Therefore, can adopt the described handling process of Fig. 6 to what the task of F-QPCH channel was handled, just in above-mentioned steps 79, if judge the follow-up beep-page message that certain paging group is arranged, then can generate a new channel-monitoring task: monitor the F-PCH or the F-CCCH that occur subsequently, insert task queue; And if the monitoring task in this task and the GSM network clashes, higher priority should be arranged; Afterwards, in the monitoring task of new F-PCH that inserts or F-CCCH, the user identification information may to further matched termination in the message that listens to judges whether the paging to certain identity identification information, promptly carries out above-mentioned step 710.

Provide before the concrete handling process, be not described in detail in this.

During this external conflict resolution, because of each channel-monitoring needs duration length difference, in the GSM network, a paging block is to be made of the TS0 time slot in four continuous tdma frames, and the time span of monitoring is the length that 3 tdma frames add a time slot; In CDMA 2000 networks, the time span that F-QPCH monitors is 5ms, and the monitoring task duration of F-PCH is 10ms, therefore, will consider that different tasks continues duration when carrying out the task conflict judgement.

Embodiments of the invention provide a kind of user identification information may (as the identification number) of supporting a plurality of networks (can be the network of constructed system or different technologies system) and can be in the technical scheme of the terminal of a plurality of network works, as shown in Figure 7, the improvement of comparing the terminal that embodiments of the invention provide with traditional single subscriber terminal comprises:

(1) multisystem customer identification information memory cell;

A plurality of users' identity information can be stored and discern to the terminal that is arranged so that of this unit.These customer identification informations can belong to different networks.And the technical system of each network also can be different.If the technical system difference of network, then the content of corresponding customer identification information also is different with form.The customer identification information memory cell can be made correct explanation to different customer identification informations, discerns its pairing network and technical system thereof.

Described multisystem customer identification information memory cell can be integrated in the terminal, also can be the subscriber identification module that is independent of terminal, as the SIM card of GSM network.If be independent of the subscriber identification module of terminal, and work as a subscriber identification module and only deposit a user's information, then this memory cell should provide a plurality of interfaces, to insert different subscriber identification modules; Certainly, if can preserve a plurality of users' information in the subscriber identification module, then need not in terminal, to be provided with a plurality of interfaces.

In this multisystem customer identification information memory cell, except that a plurality of customer identification information functions, can be used for storing the unique user identifying information certainly with storage heterogeneous networks, perhaps, a plurality of customer identification informations of consolidated network.

(2) transceiver

Transceiver is parts of realizing signal transmission between terminal and the network; The specifically setting by running parameter, as: mode of operation, the frequency that takies, timing information etc., make transceiver can handle heterogeneous networks (if the technical system difference to transceiver require higher) signal, and work in different networks by the conversion of mode of operation, finish signal transmitting and receiving.
