         5 . The method according to claim I, wherein the step of initiating an attaching or initial registration procedure according to the assistance information received from a first network when the UE is moving between the first network and a second network comprises:
 determining whether an access to the second network is needed according to the assistance information received from the first network;   initiating the attaching or initial registration procedure when accessing the second network, if the access to the second network is needed.   
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the assistance information comprises: an instruction sent by a base station in the first network through an RRC message, the instruction comprising:
 information about cells of the second network; or an indication that switching among different access technologies is not supported; or an instruction of performing a reselection to the second network. -NP   
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the RRC message is an RRC connection release message. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the instruction is sent when the first network fails to switch among different access technologies. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the assistance information comprises: an instruction sent by a core network in the first network through an NAS message, the instruction comprising:
 an instruction of performing a reselection to the second network.   
     
     
         10 . An information processing method applied to a network-side equipment of a first network, comprising:
 acquiring assistance information;   sending the assistance information to a UE operating in a single registration mode, the UE initiating an attaching or initial registration procedure according to the assistance information received from the first network when moving between the first network and a second network.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein,
 the assistance information comprises: NAS level indication or registration mode negotiated on the NAS level; or   the assistance information comprises: neighborhood measurement information; or   the assistance information comprises: an instruction sent by a base station in the first network through an RRC message, the instruction comprising: information about cells of the second network; or an indication that switching among different access technologies is not supported; or an instruction of performing a reselection to the second network; or   the assistance information comprises: an instruction sent by a core network in the first network through an NAS message, the instruction comprising: an instruction of performing a reselection to the second network.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the RRC message is an RRC connection release message. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein the instruction sent by the base station in the first network through the RRC message is sent when the first network fails to switch among different access technologies.
