Abstract
A method for transitioning of a state machine after a radio access network (RAN) is reselected includes: generating first information when a mobile terminal reselects from an HRPD network to an LTE network; after receiving the first information, setting, by a Signaling Adaptation Protocol (SAP) of the HRPD module air interface protocol, the TunnelModeEnabled parameter to a first identifier, so that air interface related sub-protocols of an HRPD module know that the mobile terminal has reselected to the LTE network.

A method for transitioning of a state machine after a radio access network (RAN) is reselected, comprising:
- generating first information when a mobile terminal reselects from a high rate packet data (HRPD) network to a long term evolution (LTE) network;
- setting, by a Signaling Adaptation Protocol (SAP) of the HRPD module air interface protocol, a TunnelModeEnabled parameter to a first identifier after receiving the first information, so that air interface related sub-protocols of an HRPD module know that the mobile terminal has reselected to the LTE network;
- and
- transitioning, by state machines of air interface related sub-protocols of the HRPD module, to a tunnel state;
- wherein the transitioning to the tunnel state comprising:
- generating, by the SAP or other HRPD module air interface protocols, second information;
- and
- receiving, by the air interface related sub-protocols of the HRPD module, the first information or the second information, and enabling the state machines to transition to the tunnel state.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a first information generating unit, configured to generate first information when the mobile terminal reselecting from a high rate packet data (HRPD) network to a long term evolution (LTE) network;
- a Signaling Adaptation Protocol (SAP) parameter setting unit, configured to receive the first information, and set a TunnelModeEnabled parameter of the SAP of the HRPD module air interface protocol to a first identifier, so that air interface related sub-protocols of an HRPD module know that the mobile terminal has reselected to the LTE network;
- a state transitioning unit, configured to enable state machines of the air interface related sub-protocols of the HRPD module to transition to a tunnel state;
- and
- a second information generating unit, configured to generate second information;
- and wherein the state transitioning unit is further configured to:
- receive the first information or second information, and enable the state machines of the air interface related sub-protocols of the HRPD module to transition to the tunnel state.
