Abstract:
A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes a battery, a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, and a control unit. The mobile device transmits residual power information of the battery to a base station, and receives a SIM card polling cycle determined on the basis of the residual power information from the base station. Thereafter, the mobile device periodically determines the state of the SIM card in the received SIM card polling cycle.
Abstract:
A network connection control apparatus and method of a terminal for switching connection between heterogeneous networks depending on the data communication environment are provided. The communication network connection control method of a terminal includes measuring received signal strength and Internet Protocol (IP) packet transmission and reception amounts in a state where the terminal is connected to an IP network, switching, when the received signal strength is equal to or less than a predetermined received signal strength threshold, from the connection to the IP network to a connection to a cellular network, comparing, when the received signal strength is greater than the threshold, the IP packet reception amount with a predetermined reception threshold, and switching, when the IP packet reception amount is equal to or less than the reception threshold, from the connection to the IP network to the connection to the cellular network.
