Abstract

The present invention relates to processing that a single-card dual-standby terminal establishes a packet switch (PS) connection. In embodiments of the present invention, a single-card dual-standby terminal initiates a data service connection request through a currently used access network, and a packet switch core network performs processing on the data service connection request of the terminal according to a network resource and a data service requested by the terminal, so that a PS connection bearer of the single-card dual-standby terminal is established on a proper network, thereby fully utilizing an existing network resource and reducing electric energy consumption of a single-card dual-standby terminal.

Claims (40)

1. A data service connection establishing method for a single-card dual-standby terminal, comprising:

initiating a data service connection request through a first network;

receiving a response to the data service connection request through the first network;

establishing a data service connection bearer on the first network when the response to the data service connection request indicates that a data service bearing capability of a general packet radio service (GPRS) of the first network can bear the data service connection request;

enabling a radio frequency of a second network on the single-card dual-standby terminal when the response to the data service connection request indicates that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network cannot bear the data service connection request;

establishing the data service connection bearer on the second network when the response to the data service connection request indicates that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network cannot bear the data service connection request; and

switching the data service connection bearer from the second network back to the first network when a message is received indicating that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network can bear the data service connection request.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network can bear the data service connection request comprises:

a type of a data service connection requested by the data service connection request can be supported by the GPRS of the first network; and

a load situation of the GPRS of the first network can support the data service connection request.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first network is a global system of mobile communication (GSM) network, and the second network is a time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) network.

4. A single-card dual-standby terminal, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon; and

a computer hardware processor coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium and configured to execute the instructions to:

initiate a data service connection request through a first network;

receive a response to the data service connection request through the first network;

establish a data service connection bearer on the first network when the response to the data service connection request indicates that a data service bearing capability of the general packet radio service (GPRS) of the first network can bear the data service connection request;

enable a radio frequency of a second network on the single-card dual-standby terminal when the response to the data service connection request indicates that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network cannot bear the data service connection request;

establish the data service connection bearer on the second network when the response to the data service connection request indicates that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network cannot bear the data service connection request; and

switch the data service connection bearer from the second network back to the first network when a message is received indicating that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network can bear the data service connection request.

5. A data service connection establishing method for a single-card dual-standby terminal, comprising:

receiving a data service connection request that is initiated by a single-card dual-standby terminal through a first network;

determining whether a data service bearing capability of the general packet radio service (GPRS) of the first network can bear the data service connection request;

processing the data service connection request according to the determining result;

instructing the single-card dual-standby terminal to enable a second network and establishing the data service connection bearer on the second network when it is determined that the data service bearing, capability of the GPRS of the first network cannot bear the data service connection request; and

switching the data service connection bearer from the second network back to the first network when a message is received indicating that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network can bear the data service connection request.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein processing the data service connection request according to the determining result comprises establishing the data service connection bearer on the first network for the single-card dual-standby terminal when it is determined that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network can bear the data service connection request.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first network is a global system for mobile communications (GSM) network and the second network is a time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) network.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein determining whether the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network can bear the data service connection request comprises:

determining whether a type of a data service connection requested by the data service connection request can be supported by the GPRS of the first network; and

determining whether a load situation of the GPRS of the first network can support the data service connection request.

9. A packet switch core network, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon; and

a computer hardware processor coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium and configured to execute the instructions to:

receive a data service connection request that is initiated by a single-card dual-standby terminal through a first network;

determine whether a data service bearing capability of the general packet radio service (GPRS) of the first network can bear the data service connection request;

process the data service connection request according to the determining result;

instruct the single-card dual-standby terminal to enable a second network and establish the data service connection bearer on the second network when it is determined that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network cannot bear the data service connection request; and

switch the data service connection bearer from the second network back to the first network when a message is received indicating that the data service bearing capability of the GPRS of the first network can bear the data service connection request.

10. The packet switch core network according to claim 9 , wherein the first network is a global system for mobile communications (GSM) network and the second network is a time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) network.
