A method for providing concurrent service in a mobile communication system is disclosed in which a SCCP connection identifier SLR/DLR of a lower layer and a Service Option Connection Identifier (SOCI) on an IOS message of the higher layer to be exchanged are transmitted when a SCCP connection is established between a BSC and a MSC, thereby providing additional services to those already requested from a mobile station after the SCCP connection establishment without stopping a currently used service. According to the method, the concurrent service is provided while minimizing the conventional call processing procedures on the interface between the BSC and the MSC, thereby allowing a subscriber to use new additional service without stopping the current service or concurrently use a plurality of services such as voice and packet data services. Furthermore, a flexible confront is possible to a future development direction of the network. Providing concurrent service is an essential function of the third generation mobile communication network in a multimedia environment.

A handoff method in a CDMA system is performed when a mobile station with dormant packet data call is handed off to an area where the packet zone identifier is changed. The method includes call connection handoffing first information from first base station to second base station by a mobile station, comparing first packet zone identifier about the call of second information transmitted from the second base station with second packet zone identifier about the call of the second information maintained by the mobile base station, and transmitting a call setting message of the second information from the mobile station to the second base station to request a handoff of the second information if the identifiers are different. Therefore, an In-traffic System Parameter message is used, thereby excluding the need for additional hardware.
