Abstract
A system and method having a multimode wireless communication terminal with at least two SIM card slots for use with at least two phone numbers simultaneously online (dual standby). The system includes a main controller, a primary mode module, a secondary mode module, and an inter-system measurement module. The main controller operates the multimode wireless communication terminal in single standby or dual standby state. The primary mode module enables the primary mode of operation for the multimode wireless communication terminal. The primary mode of operation is a default mode of operation. The secondary mode module enables the secondary mode of operation for the multimode wireless communication terminal. Paging information for the primary mode of operation and the secondary mode of operation are monitored at their respective monitoring rates using a TDM method. Switching between the primary and secondary modes of operation is executed by an inter-system handover module. During the dual standby state, both the inter-system measurement and handover are initiated by the terminal itself. The multimode wireless communication terminal is used in a multimode wireless communication system.
