Patent ID: 8437311

Claim:
A pilot-measurement control method comprising: controlling, by an idle state protocol submodule, pilot measurement according to measurement identification information after the idle state protocol submodule enters a tunnel state, wherein the idle state protocol submodule is in a high rate packet data (HRPD) module of a dual-mode terminal, wherein the dual-mode terminal is in a network handover process from a non-HRPD network to an HRPD network, and wherein controlling, by the idle state protocol submodule, the pilot measurement according to the measurement identification information comprises: controlling, by the idle state protocol submodule, the pilot measurement by detecting HRPD measurement permission variable information; or controlling, by the idle state protocol submodule, the pilot measurement by detecting measurement indication information stored in a buffer memory; or controlling, by the idle state protocol submodule, the pilot measurement according to measurement indication information sent by an air interface connection management protocol submodule in the HRPD module of the dual-mode terminal, wherein the measurement indication information is sent when the air interface connection management protocol submodule activates the idle state protocol submodule.
