The method includes: camping on a network node supporting an NB service, and performing combined registration with a network supporting the NB service and a network supporting a WB service; and switching to a network node supporting the WB service, to transmit the WB service. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A registration switching method, wherein the method is applied to a terminal supporting a narrowband (NB) capability and a wideband (WB) capability and comprises: camping on a network node supporting an NB service, and performing combined registration with a network supporting the NB service and a network supporting a WB service; and switching to a network node supporting the WB service, to transmit the WB service; wherein before the switching to a network node supporting the WB service, to transmit the WB service, the method further comprises: sending a second message to the network node supporting the NB service, wherein the second message is used to request the WB service; or receiving a third message sent by the network node supporting the NB service, wherein the third message is used to indicate that downlink data of the WB service is to be sent. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the performing combined registration with a network supporting the NB service and a network supporting a WB service comprises: sending a first message to the network node supporting the NB service, wherein the first message indicates that the terminal supports the WB service. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method according to claim 2, wherein the first message comprises: a mobility and periodic registration update request, an attach request, an initial registration request, or a tracking area update (TAU) request; wherein the mobility and periodic registration update request comprises a combined mobility and periodic registration update indication; or the attach request comprises a combined attach indication; or the initial registration request comprises a combined registration indication; or the TAU request comprises a combined update indication. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method according to claim 2, wherein after the sending a first message to the network node supporting the NB service, the method further comprises: receiving a response message of the first message from a network side of the NB service, wherein the response message comprises at least one of the following: an indication that the terminal successfully completes combined registration, an identifier of the network node supporting the WB service, and a tracking area identity (TAI) allocated to a WB system of the terminal. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the second message comprises: an extended service request; wherein the switching to a network node supporting the wideband WB service, to transmit the WB service comprises: sending, to the network node supporting the WB service, the extended service request that is used to obtain the WB service; and initiating a connection create procedure of the WB service to the network node supporting the WB service, to transmit the WB service. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein before the sending, to the network node supporting the WB service, the extended service request that is used to obtain the WB service, the method further comprises: if a cell supporting the WB service does not belong to a tracking area corresponding to the tracking area identity TAI that is of the WB system and that is received by the terminal, initiating an update procedure to the network node supporting the WB service. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein after the sending a second message to the network node supporting the NB service, or receiving a third message sent by the network node supporting the NB service, the method further comprises: sending a suspend request to the network node supporting the NB service, wherein the suspend request is used to request to suspend the NB service. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein in a case that the terminal is in an idle state, the third message comprises a paging message, and the paging message carries a WB indication; or in a case that the terminal is in a connected state, the third message comprises a non-access stratum (NAS) notification message, and the NAS notification message carries a WB indication. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein before the switching to a network node supporting the wideband WB service, to transmit the WB service, the method further comprises: sending an extended service request to the network node supporting the NB service, wherein the extended service request is used to request the WB service. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein after the switching to a network node supporting the WB service, the method further comprises: switching to the network node supporting the NB service; wherein before the switching to the network node supporting the NB service, the method further comprises: receiving, from a network side of the WB service, information about a public land mobile network (PLMN) with which the terminal is registered last time. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) A terminal, wherein the terminal is a terminal supporting an NB capability and a WB capability and comprises a memory, a processor, and a program that is stored in the memory and that can be run on the processor, wherein when the program is executed by the processor, the steps of the registration switching method according to claim 1 are implemented.
