Apparatus and method for setting timer and counter in mobile communication system

摘要

A method of setting a timer value and a counter value depending on Radio Signal Strength (RSS) information according to a communication protocol is provided. In the method of determining the counter value and the timer value of a Mobile Station (MS) in a protocol negotiation process includes measuring a Round Trip Delay (RTD) and an RSS with respect to a counterpart MS, determining a timer value and a counter value according to the measured RTD and RSS, and exchanging a signaling message according to the determined timer value and counter value.
