The present invention relates to method supporting an IPv6 neighbor discovery in an IEEE 802.16 based wireless communication system. More specifically, the invention relates to an IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) neighbor discovery support method in a wireless communication system where all attached subscriber stations share a common network prefix, particularly, in an IEEE 802.16 network using Ethernet CS (convergence sublayer) network. According to the above-described method, a base station manages information on subscriber stations to which the base station provides a service on the basis of an Identification Cache Table (ICT), and performs a process of controlling unnecessary transmission of IPv6 neighbor discovery messages and an IPv6 neighbor discovery proxy function on the basis of the information on the subscriber station. According to the present invention, as the base station controls transmission of the IPv6 neighbor discovery messages in the wireless communication system where the common network prefix is allocated, it is possible to reduce waste of radio resource and power consumption of the subscriber stations.
