Patent ID: 8583101

Claim:
A method for synchronizing heartbeat behavior, comprising: acquiring, in a processor, a period list and a time list; acquiring, in a processor, a period length of the heartbeat behavior according to the period list, and acquiring synchronization time according to the time list, a heartbeat period, and a preset multiple; and synchronizing at least one type of heartbeat behavior by using the period length of the heartbeat behavior as a period from the synchronization time; wherein when the period list comprises a period length of a periodic location area update and a period length of a periodic routing area update, and the time list comprises update time of the periodic location area update and update time of the periodic routing area update, acquiring a period length of the heartbeat behavior according to the period list, and wherein acquiring a synchronization time according to the time list, a heartbeat period, and a preset multiple comprises: setting the period length of the periodic location area update or the period length of the periodic routing area update as a period length of uplink heartbeat behavior; and acquiring first synchronization time of the heartbeat behavior according to the update time of the periodic location area update and the update time of the periodic routing area update in the time list, the heartbeat period, and the preset multiple; wherein synchronizing at least one type of heartbeat behavior by using the period length of the heartbeat behavior as a period from the synchronization time comprises: synchronously performing a location area update and a routing area update by using the period length of the uplink heartbeat behavior as the period from the first synchronization time, wherein each of the location area update and the routing area update is a type of heartbeat behavior; wherein the setting the period length of the periodic location area update or the period length of the periodic routing area update as a period length of uplink heartbeat behavior comprises: when a voice service has a higher priority than a data service, setting the period length of the periodic location area update as the period length of the uplink heartbeat behavior; and when the data service has a higher priority than the voice service, setting the period length of the periodic routing area update as the period length of the uplink heartbeat behavior.
