Abstract

Method and device for measurement compensation for inter-system reselection and handover in a dual-mode terminal are disclosed. The method comprises: a GSM physical layer reporting measured RSCP and Ec/No values of a 3G neighbor cell to a radio resource management layer with inter-layer primitives; the radio resource management layer receiving the inter-layer primitives carrying the RSCP and Ec/No values reported by the physical layer, and performing measurement compensation for the inter-layer primitives in the radio resource management layer. Since the measurement compensation is performed in the radio resource management layer of the terminal, the terminal preferably resides on 3G network when detecting the 3G network. It can be applied to measurement compensation for the inter-system reselection and handover when 2G and 3G mobile communication systems co-exist. The terminal is more easily retained on the network of one of the systems and allowed to make a priority selection of the networks.
