Abstract
An apparatus and method for managing a packet transmission delay for TCP/IP-based communications in a mobile communication system are provided, in which a BSC imposes no delay on a packet directed to an MS or a packet transmitted from the MS and sends the packet to the MS or corresponding MS, if it is determined that the MS starts to perform a handover during communications with the MS, and delays a packet directed to the MS or a packet transmitted from the MS and sends the delayed packet to the MS or corresponding MS, if it is determined that the MS has completed the handover during the packet transmission with no delay. Advantageously, timeout occurrences caused by too long a time delay are reduced, thereby preventing decreased throughput during the TCP/IP-based handover.
