Method and Apparatus for the Multimode Terminal in Idle Mode Operation in CDMA 1XRTT and Frame Asynchronous TD-SCDMA Networks

摘要

Method and apparatus for the multimode terminal (MMT) in idle mode operation in CDMA 1xRTT and frame asynchronous TD-SCDMA networks techniques for scheduling paging intervals in the multimode terminal to reduce paging interval conflicts. The method generally includes determining a circuit-switched (CS) discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length of the first network (1010), determining a paging cycle length of the second network (1020), setting a packet-switched (PS) DRX cycle length” based on the paging cycle length and the CS DRX cycle length to avoid overlap between a paging interval of the first network and a paging interval of the second network (1030), and communicating the PS DRX cycle length to the first network (1040).
