Method and apparatus for controlling transmission of message during handover in mobile communication terminal

摘要

A method for controlling a transmission of Short Message Service (SMS) data during a handover of a mobile communication terminal and an apparatus thereof are provided. The method includes determining whether a handover is currently being conducted, if SMS transmission is requested in a communication mode; deferring the transmission of SMS data if it is determined that the handover is being conducted; and transmitting the SMS data if the handover is finished. Therefore, a call drop due to the transmission of SMS data during handover can be prevented, and the transmission of the SMS data is ensured.
