Abstract
Provided is a method for preventing excessive handovers in a mobile communication system. In the method, a periodic measurement report message is transmitted from a mobile terminal to a network. The network determines, on the basis of the measurement report message from the mobile terminal, whether a handover of the mobile terminal needs to be performed. Thereafter, the network transmits a Handover_Command message to the mobile terminal if the handover of the mobile terminal needs to be performed. Upon receipt of the Handover_Command message, the mobile terminal performs a handover to a target handover cell according to the Handover_Command message, transmits a Handover_Complete message to the network, and transmits a first measurement report message including neighboring cell information set to Null from the mobile terminal to the network after the transmission of the Handover_Complete message.
