A method for monitoring paging messages in a mobile station with a subscriber identity card camping on a cell is provided. A paging message from the cell is monitored at a set of M predetermined time intervals. A first paging message with a first subscriber identity information being successively broadcasted in the paging channel at a Nth predetermined time interval and a (N+i)th predetermined time interval of the set of M predetermined time intervals is determined. A second paging message with a second subscriber identity information being successively broadcasted in the paging channel at the Nth predetermined time interval and a (N+j)th predetermined time interval of the set of M predetermined time intervals is determined, wherein j>i. The paging channel is monitored at a (N+i)th predetermined time interval and a (N+j)th predetermined time interval of following predetermined time intervals subsequent to the M predetermined time intervals.

A method for managing public land mobile network (PLMN) selection of a user equipment (UE) includes: receiving system information broadcasted from a first PLMN on which the UE currently camps, wherein the system information is indicative of a disaster condition of the first PLMN; in response to receiving the system information, performing a network aliveness validation operation while the UE still camps on the first PLMN; and managing the PLMN selection of the UE according to a result of the network aliveness validation operation.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus and method for camping on a serving cell. The apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) signal processing device, processing a plurality of RF signals to generate a plurality of baseband signals, a baseband signal processing device, processing the baseband signals, and a processor, measuring a signal quality or power of the serving cell and determining whether a first predetermined threshold value related to cell reselection of the serving cell is greater than a second predetermined threshold value related to cell reselection of a predetermined neighbor cell. When the first predetermined threshold value is greater than the second predetermined threshold value, the processor further determines whether the signal quality or power of the serving cell is greater than the second predetermined threshold value. Also, at times, the processor further determines whether to perform cell measurement on the predetermined neighbor cell.
Abstract:
A paging channel is monitored at a special position of every predetermined time interval subsequent to the last monitored time. It is detected whether a same first identity information is repeatedly broadcasted in the paging channel at special positions of different predetermined time interval. A total number of periodically repeated messages containing the same first identity information is determined. A new time interval is determined by multiplying a time period between two successive repeated paging messages with the total number of periodically repeated paging messages, wherein the new time interval has a monitoring interval (having a plurality of predetermined time intervals) equaling to the length of the time period and a sleep interval. The paging channel is monitored at special positions of the plurality of predetermined time intervals in every new time interval subsequent to the last monitored time so as to receive subsequent paging messages from the cell.
