Claim Text:
1. A cell search control method for a mobile communication terminal including a first communication subsystem capable of accessing a first access network and a second communication subsystem capable of accessing a second access network, the first communication subsystem and the second communication subsystem being able to provide services simultaneously based on one identical (U)SIM, the cell search control method comprising: acquiring, when a coverage for the mobile communication terminal in the first access network is lost, system information received by the second communication subsystem, wherein the mobile communication terminal is currently camping on a cell of the second access network; selecting part or all of the cells belonging to the first access network from neighboring cells recorded in the system information to form a list of cells; and controlling the first communication subsystem to perform cell search procedure based on the list of cells, wherein, when the first communication subsystem cannot successfully camp on the cells meeting requirements after a first number of times of cell search procedure in a first time interval (period) based on the list of cells, the first time interval of cell search procedure performed by the first communication subsystem based on the list of cells is increased.
