Therefore, the mobile communication terminal with above-mentioned structure can communicate in asynchronous network and synchronizing network.And, mobile communication terminal 400 with above-mentioned structure can have four kinds of patterns can being selected by the user, and these four kinds of patterns comprise special-purpose asynchronous mode (only WCDMA), preferred asynchronous mode (preferred WCDMA), preferred synchronous mode (preferred CDMA) and special-purpose synchronous mode (only CDMA).In special-purpose asynchronous mode, mobile communication terminal 400 only communicates by asynchronous communication networks.In preferred asynchronous mode, mobile communication terminal 400 communicates by asynchronous communication networks basically, and carries out mode switch so that can communicate by synchronous communication network when it leaves the asynchronous communication networks zone.In preferred synchronous mode, mobile communication terminal 400 communicates by synchronous communication network basically, and carries out mode switch so that can communicate by asynchronous communication networks when it enters the asynchronous communication networks zone.In special-purpose synchronous mode, mobile communication terminal 400 only communicates by synchronous communication network.
With reference to Fig. 4 to 6 mode switching method according to the MMMB mobile communication terminal of first embodiment of the invention is described below.According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the MMMB mobile communication terminal is converted to synchronous mode according to the intensity of the signal that receives from asynchronous communication networks from asynchronous mode.
Fig. 4 is used for the figure of illustration according to the notion of the mode switch of MMMB mobile communication terminal of the present invention.
When mobile communication terminal 400 when the regional A of asynchronous communication networks moves to borderline region B between asynchronous communication networks and the synchronous communication network, mobile communication terminal 400 receives the signal that intensity reduces from asynchronous network air station 101.Here, mobile communication terminal 400 determines whether to carry out mode switch according to the intensity that records from the signal of asynchronous network between asynchronous mode and synchronous mode.
Can (be expressed as Ec/Io according to the ratio of the signal strength signal intensity of pilot channel and the size of all noises that receive from the intensity of the signal of asynchronous network; The interference of the energy of carrier wave/other signals), reception (Rx) power, the received signal code power (RSCP) that is represented as RSSI (received signal intensity index) waits and obtains.
In the middle of these parameters, Ec/Io is acute variation with radio environment on every side.By contrast, RSSI and RSCP have the threshold value of constant, because RSSI is the received power of mobile communication terminal, RSCP is the value of decoding and obtaining by to the signal that is received by mobile communication terminal.
Therefore, the present invention adopts RSSI or RSCP rather than Ec/Io when measure signal intensity.To describe the method for using RSCP below, same method also is applicable to RSSI.
Fig. 5 is used for being illustrated in the curve chart that carries out mode switch according to the mode switching method of first embodiment of the invention according to signal strength signal intensity.Here, will signal strength signal intensity be described based on RSCP.
As shown in Figure 5, when signal strength signal intensity is reduced to predetermined threshold value TH when following, mobile communication terminal 400 recognizes that it just leaves from the zone of asynchronous communication networks at present, and determines whether at the fixed time this state continues in the interval T.When this state continued in the interval T at the fixed time, mobile communication terminal 400 prepared to carry out mode switch from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode by making synchronous modem carry out work.Carry out at synchronous modem under the state of work, when the signal from the air station of asynchronous communication networks was released, mobile communication terminal 400 was defined as its zone C of leaving and entering synchronous communication network from the regional A of asynchronous communication networks.Then, mobile communication terminal 400 is connected with synchronous communication network by synchronous modem immediately, thereby finishes mode switch.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart according to the mode switching method of first embodiment of the invention.Mode switching method according to first embodiment of the invention is the method for carrying out when the MMMB mobile communication terminal is in idle condition.
With reference to Fig. 6, when mobile communication terminal 400 was in idle condition (step S10) in the zone of asynchronous communication networks 100, primary processor 443 determined whether the value of RSCP is lower than predetermined threshold value TH (step S20).
Be lower than predetermined threshold value TH if determine the value of RSCP in step S20, then primary processor 443 has determined whether to keep during the interval T at the fixed time the value of RSCP wherein to be lower than the state (step S30) of predetermined threshold value TH.
If determine the state that has kept during the interval T at the fixed time the value of RSCP wherein to be lower than predetermined threshold value TH in step S30, then primary processor 443 is used in the synchronous modem 434 of communicating by letter with synchronous communication network 200 and carries out work (step S40).Then, primary processor 443 is converted to synchronous mode (step S50) with current communication pattern, enters synchronous mode idle condition (step S60) then.
Next, describe mode switching method in detail with reference to Fig. 7 according to the MMMB mobile communication terminal of second embodiment of the invention.The difference of the second embodiment of the present invention and first embodiment is, carries out when the MMMB mobile communication terminal is in communications status according to the mode switching method of second embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 7 is the flow chart according to the mode switching method of second embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 7, when mobile communication terminal 400 was in communications status (step S110) in the zone of asynchronous communication networks 100, primary processor 443 determined whether the value of RSCP is lower than predetermined threshold value TH (step S120).
Be lower than predetermined threshold value TH if determine the value of RSCP in step S120, then primary processor 443 has determined whether to keep during the interval T at the fixed time the value of RSCP wherein to be lower than the state (step S130) of predetermined threshold value TH.
If in step S130, determine the state that has kept during the interval T at the fixed time the value of RSCP wherein to be lower than predetermined threshold value TH, then 443 pairs of block error rates of primary processor (BLER) are monitored (step S140), and this BLER represents the speed of the defect block that per second receives in wireless side.
Then, surpass predetermined threshold value (for example about 10%) if in step S150, determine the BLER that is monitored among the step S140, then primary processor 443 makes synchronous modem 434 carry out work, to prepare communicating (step S160) with synchronous communication network 200.
Here, step S140 and S150 can save, and are not indispensable because they only are only necessary in the second embodiment of the present invention when compensating.Under the situation of saving step S140 and S150, if in step S130, determine the state that has kept during the interval T at the fixed time the value of RSCP wherein to be lower than predetermined threshold value TH, then primary processor 443 makes synchronous modem 434 carry out work, to prepare communicating (step S160) with synchronous communication network 200.
In this case, even make after synchronous modem 434 carries out work, primary processor 443 can not attempted registering to synchronous communication network 200 yet.In addition, primary processor 443 determines the current asynchronous mode that is under the communications status calls out whether finish (step S170).
Finish if determine the communications status of asynchronous mode calling in step S170, then primary processor 443 determines whether mobile communication terminals 400 are positioned at the zone of asynchronous communication networks 100, to enter idle condition (step S180).
If in step S180, determine the zone that mobile communication terminal 400 is positioned at asynchronous communication networks 100, then primary processor enters asynchronous mode idle condition (step S190), under this state, the synchronous modem 434 that carries out work in step S160 is deactivated.
Yet, if in step S180, determine the zone (this means that mobile communication terminal 400 is positioned at the zone of synchronous communication network) that mobile communication terminal 400 is not positioned at asynchronous communication networks 100, then primary processor 443 enters synchronous mode idle condition (step S181), under this state, asynchronous modem controller 424 is deactivated.
Simultaneously, be not over yet if determine the communications status of asynchronous mode calling in step S170, then primary processor 443 determines whether discharge (step S171) with the Radio Links of asynchronous communication networks 100.Particularly, primary processor 443 determines whether mobile communication terminal 400 has left the zone of asynchronous communication networks 100, and when determining that mobile communication terminal 400 has left asynchronous communication networks 100 regional, carry out the mode switch of synchronous mode by the synchronous modem 434 of its operation of beginning in step S160.
Then, primary processor 443 determines to call out whether finish (step S173).Finish if be defined as calling out in step S173, then primary processor 443 execution in step S180 and definite mobile communication terminal 400 current zones of asynchronous communication networks 100 that whether are positioned at are to enter idle condition.If in step S180, be defined as the zone that mobile communication terminal 400 is positioned at asynchronous communication networks 100, then primary processor enters asynchronous mode idle condition (step S190), under this state, the synchronous modem 434 of its operation of beginning is deactivated in step S160.
Yet, if in step S180, be defined as the zone (this means that mobile communication terminal 400 is positioned at the zone of synchronous communication network) that mobile communication terminal 400 is not positioned at asynchronous communication networks 100, then primary processor 443 enters synchronous mode idle condition (step S181), under this state, asynchronous modem controller 424 is deactivated.
Then, be released with the Radio Link of asynchronous communication networks 100 if in step S171, be defined as, then primary processor 443 determines whether the value of RSCP surpasses predetermined threshold value TH, to determine the mobile communication terminal 400 current zones (step S174) that whether are positioned at asynchronous communication networks 100.
Surpassed predetermined threshold value TH if in step S174, be defined as the value of RSCP, then primary processor 443 determine mobile communication terminal 400 current be the zone that is positioned at asynchronous communication networks 100, and close the current synchronous modem of working 434 (step S175), proceed to step S170 then.
Though the parameters R SCP with received signal code power is that example is described above embodiment, replace the RSCP also can be in the identical effect of acquisition among step S20, S120 and the S174 by the performance number RSSI that uses received signal itself.
In addition, can realize the present invention by operation parameter RSCP and RSSI, specifically, measure, in step S20, S120 and S174, they and preset reference value are compared then by the performance number RSSI of sign indicating number power and received signal itself to received signal.
Below with reference to the mode switching method of Fig. 8 detailed description according to the MMMB mobile communication terminal of third embodiment of the invention.A third embodiment in accordance with the invention, the mode switch from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode are to carry out according to the system information block that sends from asynchronous communication networks.
Fig. 8 is the flow chart according to the mode switching method of third embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 8, mobile communication terminal is monitored (step S210) to each system information of subdistricts piece that the air station from asynchronous communication networks sends when carrying out cell selecting.In addition, whether preset the parameter (step S220) of the mode switch of representing synchronous communication network in the system information block that mobile communication terminal is determined to be monitored.
If preset the parameter of the mode switch of representing synchronous communication network in the system information block that is defined as being monitored in step S220, then mobile communication terminal is determined the current preferred asynchronous mode (step S230) that whether is set as of terminal pattern.In preferred asynchronous mode, mobile communication terminal at first is connected with asynchronous communication networks, is connected with synchronous communication network during with the asynchronous communication networks connection failure when it then.
Terminal pattern is current to be set as preferred asynchronous mode if be defined as in step S230, and then mobile communication terminal determines to be included in whether the mobile country code (MCC) in the system information block is country code (first parameter of presetting in step S240; For example for Korea S, parameter value is 450 (MCC=450)), and whether definite mobile network code, MNC (MNC) is network code (second parameter of presetting; For example for SK Telecom Co., Ltd., parameter value are 05 (MNC=05)).
MCC is predetermined to be first parameter and MNC is predetermined to be second parameter if determine in step S240, and then mobile communication terminal is defined as converting to synchronous mode and makes synchronous modem carry out work (step S250).Make after synchronous modem carries out work, mobile communication terminal switches to synchronous mode (step S260) with current communication pattern (asynchronous mode).
If determine current terminal pattern in step S230 is not preferred asynchronous mode, then for example when the terminal pattern of current setting is special-purpose asynchronous mode, even system information block satisfies the condition of mode switch, mobile communication terminal does not carry out mode switch yet, but keeps current asynchronous mode (step S231).
In addition, MCC is not predetermined to be first parameter or MNC is not predetermined to be second parameter if determine in step S240, even then system information block satisfies the condition of mode switch, mobile communication terminal does not carry out mode switch yet, but keeps current asynchronous mode (step S231).
Below with reference to the mode switching method of Fig. 9 detailed description according to the MMMB mobile communication terminal of fourth embodiment of the invention.A fourth embodiment in accordance with the invention, mobile communication terminal carries out the mode switch from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode according to the message information commonly used (for example, basic I D information) that sends from synchronous communication network.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart according to the mode switching method of fourth embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 9, the mobile communication terminal that communicates via synchronous communication network is checked the message information commonly used (step S310) of the BSC 202 of this synchronous communication network 200.Then, MCT determines whether the basic I D information that finds comprises default mode switch parameter (step S320) in step S310.Here, the mode switch parameter is arranged on and is arranged in the position of predefined procedure position (being second in the present embodiment) with respect to highest significant position (MSB) among the basic I D, and is the parameter that is used to notify the overlapping region between asynchronous communication networks and the synchronous communication network.
If the basic I D information that is defined as finding in step S320 in step S310 comprises default mode switch parameter, then mobile communication terminal is determined current whether be set as one of preferred asynchronous mode and preferred synchronous mode (the step S330) of terminal pattern.In preferred asynchronous mode, mobile communication terminal at first is connected with asynchronous communication networks, is connected with synchronous communication network during with the asynchronous communication networks connection failure at it then.In preferred synchronous mode, mobile communication terminal at first is connected with synchronous communication network, is connected with asynchronous communication networks during with the synchronous communication network connection failure at it then.
If determine current one of preferred asynchronous mode and the preferred synchronous mode of being set as of terminal pattern in step S330, then mobile communication terminal is determined mode switch to be asynchronous mode and to make asynchronous modem controller carry out work (step S340).Then, mobile communication terminal switches to asynchronous mode (step S350) with current communication pattern (synchronous mode).
If in step S330, determine current terminal pattern neither preferred asynchronous mode, preferred synchronous mode, but special-purpose synchronous mode, then mobile communication terminal does not carry out mode switch, but keeps current synchronous mode (step S331).
Below with reference to the mode switching method of Figure 10 detailed description according to the MMMB mobile communication terminal of fifth embodiment of the invention.Mode switching method according to fifth embodiment of the invention is a kind of special method, wherein at first determine the mode switch from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode, synchronous modem is stopped using and enable asynchronous modem controller, thereby mobile communication terminal works in asynchronous mode.
Figure 10 is the flow chart according to the mode switching method of fifth embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Figure 10, the mobile communication terminal 400 that communicates via synchronous communication network works in synchronous mode (step S410) by synchronous modem.Then, when having determined the mode switch from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode (step S420) as mentioned above, mode switching controller 447 is to asynchronous modem controller 434 request mode switch (step S430).Then, asynchronous modem controller 434 carries out work to detect from the signal (step S440) of asynchronous communication networks and to determine whether to exist normal detected signal (step S450).
If be defined as not existing the WCDMA signal in step S450, then asynchronous modem controller 434 sends to mode switching controller 447 and obtains failed message (step S451) synchronously and go forward side by side into state of cutting out or resting state (step S452).
In step S451, receive obtain failed message synchronously after, what mode switching controller 447 identified asynchronous communication networks obtains failure synchronously, and keeps message to keep current state (step S453) to synchronous modem 424 transmit operations.Then, synchronous modem 424 keeps current state (step S454) and mobile communication terminal 400 to continue to operate in synchronous mode.
Simultaneously, detect the WCDMA signal and obtained synchronously if determine in step S450, then asynchronous modem controller 434 requests are to the location registers (step S461) of asynchronous communication networks.When the location information response of the mobile communication terminal in the asynchronous communication networks 400 when this request is registered among the HLR 207 (step S462), HLR 207 sends the response (step S463) of these location registers of report.In addition, asynchronous communication networks sends to synchronous modem 434 (step S464) to the response that will report this location registers.
After the response that receives in step S464, synchronous modem 434 sends the message of reporting current state to mode switching controller 447, that is, the message (step S470) to the location registers of asynchronous communication networks has been finished in report.Then, enable asynchronous modem controller 424 and mobile communication terminal 400 and work in asynchronous mode (step S480).
Here, receiving from asynchronous modem controller 434 after location registers finishes message, mode switching controller 447 identifies success and has carried out mode switch to asynchronous communication networks.Then, mode switching controller 447 sends message to synchronous modem 424, with the synchronous modem 424 of stopping using, makes it be in closed condition or resting state (step S471).So synchronous modem 424 is deactivated (step S472) thereby has finished mode switch.
Below with reference to the mode switching method of Figure 11 detailed description according to the MMMB mobile communication terminal of sixth embodiment of the invention.According to the mode switching method of sixth embodiment of the invention is to break down or the more weak method of carrying out can't registration location time that makes in the mode switch process from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode of its electric field at synchronous communication network.
Particularly, when asynchronous communication networks breaks down or its electric field is more weak and feasible can't registration location the time, alternately repeated attempt changes to the pattern of synchronous communication network and asynchronous communication networks, thereby cause ping-pong phenomenon, in this ping-pong phenomenon, mobile communication terminal rests on the state that can not communicate by letter constantly.Therefore, when mobile communication terminal when synchronous communication network receives the mode switch order, this mobile communication terminal is attempted the position is registered by detect asynchronous signal under asynchronous mode.When switching went wrong, mobile communication terminal turned back to synchronous mode and periodically attempts detecting asynchronous signal to carry out the mode switch of asynchronous mode.
Figure 11 is the flow chart according to the mode switching method of sixth embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Figure 11, when mobile communication terminal 400 when synchronous communication network 200 receives switching command signal and determine to carry out from synchronous communication network 200 to asynchronous communication networks 100 switching (step S510), mobile communication terminal 400 switches to asynchronous mode (step S520) with its current communication pattern from synchronous mode, and determines whether to detect asynchronous signal (step S530).
If detected asynchronous signal, then mobile communication terminal 400 determines whether to have finished the location registers (step S540) to asynchronous communication networks.If location registers is finished, then mobile communication terminal 400 communicates by asynchronous communication networks.Here, refer to location registers to the location registers of asynchronous communication networks to circuit network (CS) or Packet Service (PS) network.
In addition, if if in step S530, do not detect asynchronous signal or because the caused location registers of some problem failure in the asynchronous communication networks and can't communicating with asynchronous mode, then mobile communication terminal 400 switches back synchronous mode (step S550).
Next, mobile communication terminal 400 is waited for predetermined time interval and the number of times of waiting for is counted (step S560), switches back asynchronous mode (step S520) then and determine whether to have detected asynchronous signal (step S530).Repeat this feedback procedure till the position is registered.
Here, preferably increase the counting interval (it is corresponding to the time interval of detecting asynchronous signal) gradually according to predetermined benchmark (it has reflected the number of times that detects asynchronous signal).Be used for determining that the count parameter in counting interval is comprised in the system parameters that is sent to mobile communication terminal 400 from the air station of asynchronous communication networks.
Therefore, after receiving the mode switch order, mobile communication terminal 400 is identified for detecting counting interval of asynchronous signal according to count parameter, waits for this counting interval and number of times is counted, and searches for asynchronous signal then.
Preferably, default and storage can replace the basic parameter of count parameter in mobile communication terminal, makes mobile communication terminal 400 to determine the counting interval according to the basic parameter of being stored when its count pick up parameter failure.
The parameter that is used to count for example can comprise following information: be used to search for asynchronous signal unit gap T, be used for determining modulus (modulus) A in the time interval of asynchronous signal search, and the max-thresholds Nmax that is used to search for the number of times of asynchronous signal.When the number of times of searching for when 400 pairs of asynchronous signals of mobile communication terminal was set as " n ", mobile communication terminal 400 was determined the counting interval by following equation (1).
t=A
n*T (1)
In equation (1), the value of " n " (number of times of search asynchronous signal) increases by 1 from 1 to " Nmax " at every turn.In other words, by equation (1), the first counting interval that mobile communication terminal 400 is waited for after location registers is failed for the first time is calculated as " A
n* T ", mobile communication terminal 400 is calculated as " A in location registers counting interval that the back waits for for the second time of failing for the first time
2* T ", and the counting interval that mobile communication terminal 400 is waited for after location registers is failed for the first time for the third time is calculated as " A
3* T ".
When the number of times of search asynchronous signal because the detection asynchronous signal is failed when surpassing threshold value " Nmax " repeatedly, the counting interval is the value of being fixed to " A from that time
Nmax* T ".
Except above-mentioned parameter and equation (1), can also use multiple parameter and equation to determine the counting interval, and the value of " n " can be 1 between " Nmax ".
The communication pattern that the present invention is only applicable to mobile communication terminal 400 is set as the situation of preferred asynchronous mode or preferred synchronous mode, and the communication pattern that is not suitable for mobile communication terminal 400 is set as the situation of special-purpose asynchronous mode or special-purpose synchronous mode.Therefore, after receiving the mode switch order from synchronous communication network, mobile communication terminal 400 is checked current communication pattern, and preferably, search asynchronous signal when current communication pattern is one of preferred asynchronous mode or preferred synchronous mode.
Below with reference to Figure 12 and 13 mode switching methods of describing in detail according to the MMMB mobile communication terminal of seventh embodiment of the invention.
Figure 12 is used to illustrate the notion according to the mode switch of seventh embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Figure 12, the synchronous communication network zone of the A of company comprises the part in the asynchronous communication networks zone of the part in asynchronous communication networks zone of the A of company and the B of company.At mobile communication terminal 400 is that user terminal and its current communication pattern of the A of company is under the situation of preferred asynchronous mode, and the asynchronous communication networks via the A of company in the overlapping region of mobile communication terminal 400 between the synchronous communication network zone of the asynchronous communication networks zone of the A of company and the A of company communicates.In the A of company single (sole) synchronous communication network zone, mobile communication terminal 400 switches to synchronous mode and communicates via the synchronous communication network of the A of company.
When the mobile communication terminal under the preferred asynchronous mode 400 leaves the asynchronous communication networks zone of the A of company and attempt carrying out location registers in the overlapping region between the synchronous communication network zone of the asynchronous communication networks zone of the B of company and the A of company, mobile communication terminal 400 is at first searched for from the asynchronous communication networks of the B of company but not the asynchronous signal of the synchronous communication network of the A of company, and request is to the location registers of the asynchronous communication networks of the B of company.
Then, the asynchronous communication networks of the B of company is with reference to the user profile of asking the mobile communication terminal 400 of its location registers.When the mobile communication terminal 400 of asking location registers was not the user of the B of company, the asynchronous communication networks of the B of company refusal carried out location registers.Then, the mobile communication terminal 400 of location registers failure switches to the urgency communication state, and in this state, mobile communication terminal 400 only can be handled urgent call via the asynchronous communication networks of the B of company.
In addition, when mobile communication terminal 400 was positioned at the asynchronous communication networks zone of the A of company, location registers also may be rejected.In this case, mobile communication terminal 400 also switches to the urgency communication state.
In the present embodiment, when mobile communication terminal 400 is refused to switch to the urgency communication state owing to location registers by asynchronous communication networks, mobile communication terminal 400 switches to synchronous mode with its communication pattern, thereby can provide all services to mobile communication terminal 400 via the synchronous communication network of the A of company.
Figure 13 is the flow chart according to the mode switching method of seventh embodiment of the invention.
As shown in figure 13, when mobile communication terminal 400 was attempted location registers (step S610), mobile communication terminal 400 at first determined whether to have detected asynchronous signal (step S620).
Here, when mobile communication terminal 400 is terminals of preferred asynchronous mode and current when being in asynchronous mode, carry out search to synchronizing signal.Location registers comprises the registration of all situations, the registration when comprising power supply opening, periodically registration, the registration of moving of basis between the sub-district etc.
As this result who determines, when detecting asynchronous signal, mobile communication terminal 400 requests are carried out location registers (step S630) to corresponding asynchronous communication networks.When mobile communication terminal 400 received location registers refuse information (step S640) in response to this request, mobile communication terminal 400 switched to the urgency communication state, and under this state, mobile communication terminal 400 only can be handled urgent call (step S650).
The location registers refuse information can be the message that is sent by this corresponding asynchronous communication networks by can't find user profile with reference to the information in this asynchronous communication networks of being stored in the time at corresponding asynchronous communication networks, perhaps can be owing to the message that some problem sends appears in asynchronous communication networks.
Then, mobile communication terminal 400 switches to synchronous mode (step S660) with its communication pattern, detect synchronizing signal and register its position (step S670) to synchronous communication network, thereby mobile communications network 400 can communicate via this synchronous communication network.
In addition, if do not detect asynchronous signal in step S620, then mobile communication terminal 400 switches to synchronous mode (step S660) with its communication pattern, detects synchronizing signal and will register its position (step S670) to synchronous communication network.
The communication pattern that the present invention is only applicable to mobile communication terminal 400 is set as the situation of preferred asynchronous mode or preferred synchronous mode, and the communication pattern that is not suitable for mobile communication terminal 400 is set as the situation of special-purpose asynchronous mode or special-purpose synchronous mode.
Therefore, preferably, when the attempts registration position, mobile communication terminal 400 is checked current communication pattern and search asynchronous signal when current communication pattern is preferred asynchronous mode.
In the above description, mobile communication terminal switches to synchronous mode with its communication pattern after switching to the urgency communication state.Yet, according to the present invention, mobile communication terminal also can enter the urgency communication state after receiving the location registers refuse information from asynchronous communication networks before, its communication pattern is switched to synchronous mode, because for mobile communication terminal, it is meaningless in fact to enter the urgency communication state.
Industrial usability
It can be seen from the above, the invention provides a kind of multi-mode multi-band mobile communication terminal and mode switching method thereof, it can minimize communication disruption when the asynchronous mobile communication network zone moves to the synchronous mobile communication network area at mobile communication terminal.
In addition, the invention provides a kind of multi-mode multi-band mobile communication terminal and mode switching method thereof, this mode switching method can minimize ping-pong phenomenon when mobile communication terminal carries out mode switch automatically between WCDMA pattern and CDMA pattern.
Though most realistic invention has been described explicitly with preferred embodiment with being considered at present, but should be appreciated that, the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments and accompanying drawing, and on the contrary, it is intended to contain purport and the interior various modifications and variations of scope that fall into claims.
