TERMINAL STATE TRANSITION METHOD AND MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

The present invention discloses a terminal state transition method and a mobile terminal. The method comprises: when there is a need to transit to a connected state, the terminal transits from the current state to one of part of or all the modes in the connected state according to the control signaling received from a base station; the connected state includes at least one of the following modes: a sleep mode, an active mode and a scanning mode; when there is a need to transit to an idle state, the terminal transits from one of part of or all the modes in the current connected state to the idle state according to the control signaling received from the base station; during the handover procedure, the terminal transits from one of part of or all the modes in the connected state before the handover to the same mode as the mode before the handover or another different mode in the connected state after the handover according to the control signaling received from the base station. According to the technical scheme provided by the present invention, the signaling interaction procedure is simplified, utilization rate of energy is improved, and battery power of a Mobile Station (MS) is saved.
