Abstract
Disclosed are various example embodiments of link connection for a multi-mode terminal. In an example embodiment, an operating method of multi-mode terminal comprises connecting a first type link with a first type access point of an integrated access point; reading link setup information corresponding to the integrated access point from a memory, wherein the link setup information is used for configuring a second type link according to a first configuration method; and connecting a second type link with a second type access point of the integrated access point based on the link setup information.
Claims14
An operating method of a multi-mode terminal, the method comprising:
- connecting a first type link with a first type access point of an integrated access point;
- reading link setup information corresponding to the integrated access point from a memory, wherein the link setup information is used for configuring a second type link according to a first configuration method;
- and
- connecting a second type link with a second type access point of the integrated access point based on the link setup information,
- wherein the operating method further comprises:
- when the link setup information corresponding to the integrated access point does not exist in the memory, connecting the second type link with the integrated access point according to a second configuration method;
- generating the link setup information;
- and
- storing the generated link setup information in the memory,
- wherein the first configuration method comprises a part of all steps constituting the second configuration method, and a time needed for the first configuration method is shorter than a time needed for the second configuration method.
