COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTI-STANDBY MODE IN A COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A communication method in a communication terminal having a single communication module and at least two Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards, the method comprising:
- performing a first call mode when a call is connected through a first base station in a standby mode using the communication module and a first SIM card through a first time slot in each frame allocated by the first base station; and
performing, when a second call is connected through a second base station while performing the first call mode, a second call mode using the communication module and a second SIM card through a second time slot in the each frame allocated by the second base station, the second time slot being spaced apart from the first time slot.

Abstract
A method for communication in a communication terminal having a single communication module and at least two Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards is provided. The method includes performing a first call mode when a call is connected through a first base station in a standby mode by using the communication module and a first SIM card through a first time slot in each frame allocated by the first base station, and performing, when a second call is connected through a second base station while performing the first call mode, a second call mode using the communication module and a second SIM card through a second time slot in each frame allocated by the second base station, the second time slot being spaced apart from the first time slot.

6. A communication apparatus in a communication terminal, the apparatus comprising:
-
a single communication module for connecting to at least two base stations; at least two Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards, each storing SIM information corresponding to one of the at least two base stations; and a control unit for performing, when a first call is connected through a first base station in a standby mode, a first call mode using the communication module and a first SIM card through a first time slot in each frame allocated by the first base station, and for performing, when a second call is connected through a second base station while performing the first call mode, a second call mode using the communication module and a second SIM card through a second time slot in the each frame allocated by the second base station, wherein the second time slot is spaced apart from the first time slot. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of communicating with at least two different communication networks via a single mobile device, the method comprising:
-
performing a first call mode via a first time slot of a frame when a call is connected through a first base station of a first communication network; and when a second call is connected through a second base station of a second communication network while performing the first call mode, performing a second call mode via a second time slot of the frame, wherein the first time slot and the second time slots are both time slots of a frame. - View Dependent Claims (12)
