Abstract:
1. A method in a hybrid access terminal of optimizing transitioning between Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 1X systems in the hybrid access terminal comprising the steps of: a. detecting an EVDO received signal at the hybrid access terminal; b. checking whether a signal strength indication of the EVDO received signal is greater than or equal to a threshold for a predetermined duration; if yes c. delaying a connection timer for connecting to the EVDO system by setting a timer value utilizing a number of times that connection acquisition has been unsuccessfully attempted within a preset time period to increase or decrease said timer value, wherein said timer value is increased if system acquisition has been unsuccessfully attempted within the preset time period; and d. allowing the hybrid access terminal to connect to the EVDO system.
