<p>A terminal and method for an idle handoff based on a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) system are provided in the present invention. The method includes that when the terminal hands off from an HRPD system to a non-HRPD radio access technology system, the HRPD protocol stack of the terminal migrates from a non-tunnel state to a tunnel state. By applying the technical solution of the present invention, when the terminal is in a handoff area, and performs the idle handoff from the HRPD system to the non-HRPD radio access technology system, the terminal is in the tunnel state after the handoff, and also the HRPD session information of the terminal is retained. In this manner, when the terminal hands off back to the HRPD system, it is not necessary to perform the HRPD session negotiation again, thus effectively avoiding the waste of air interface resources and system processing capabilities, also improving the efficiency of the inter-connection and inter-communication between the HRPD system and other radio access technology systems.</p> |
