SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR CONCURRENT TERMINATION OF MULTIPLE CALLS AT A MOBILE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining a mobile terminal is available to accept a second call when the mobile terminal is in a first call;
setting up the second call with the mobile terminal while the first call is maintained in-progress on a first carrier frequency;
allocating a time slot for the second call on a second carrier frequency;
determining the second carrier frequency is not a harmonic of the first carrier frequency; and
performing a handover of the first call from the first carrier frequency to the second carrier frequency.

Abstract
A system, method and computer-readable medium for allocating multiple subscriptions to a single mobile terminal thereby allowing concurrent termination of multiple calls at the mobile terminal are provided. A mobile terminal adapted to terminate multiple concurrent calls is described. In one implementation, a network need not have any configuration data regarding the multi-line capabilities of the mobile terminal. In other implementations, network-centric mechanisms are provided for allowing multiple concurrent calls to be terminated by a mobile terminal. Multiple concurrent calls may be terminated at a mobile terminal on separate carrier frequencies or alternatively may be terminated on a common carrier frequency.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processor, the computer-executable instructions, comprising:
-
instructions that determine a mobile terminal is available to accept a second call when the mobile terminal is in a first call; instructions that set up the second call with the mobile terminal while the first call is maintained in-progress on a first carrier frequency; instructions that allocate a time slot for the second call on a second carrier frequency; instructions that determine the second carrier frequency is not a harmonic of the first carrier frequency; and instructions that perform a handover of the first call from the first carrier frequency to the second carrier frequency. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system, comprising:
-
a mobile terminal, comprising; a first antenna; a first transceiver coupled to the first antenna; a second antenna; a second transceiver coupled to the second antenna; and a processing system; wherein the first call is received on a channel of a first carrier frequency over the first antenna and the first transceiver, and wherein the second call is received over the second antenna and the second transceiver; wherein the processing system executes computer-executable instructions that; determine the mobile terminal is available to accept the second call when the mobile terminal is in a first call; set up the second call with the mobile terminal while the first call is maintained in-progress on a first carrier frequency; allocate a time slot for the second call on a second carrier frequency; determine the second carrier frequency is not a harmonic of the first carrier frequency; and perform a handover of the first call from the first carrier frequency to the second carrier frequency. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
