Patent ID: 8717953

Claim:
A method for sending non-3GPP2 system information in a high rate packet data system, the method comprising: defining a structure of a transfer message for transferring non-3GPP2 system information (non-3GPP2 SystemInfo Transfer message) in a high rate packet data (HRPD) system; generating the non-3GPP2 SystemInfo Transfer message having the defined structure and sending it to a multimode mobile terminal supporting both the HRPD system and the non-3GPP2 system when a network side of the HRPD system determines that the multimode mobile terminal is located in an area covered by the HRPD system together with the non-3GPP2 system; wherein the non-3GPP2 SystemInfo Transfer message comprises: a field of message identification, a field of message sequence number, a field of non-3GPP2 SystemInfo type, a field of non-3GPP2 SystemInfo block length and a field of non-3GPP2 SystemInfo block.
