A method and apparatus for synchronizing time information in a mobile communication terminal. The terminal stores region-by-region time offset information, information about decoding schemes used for radio time signal stations for broadcasting Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) information, and information about carrier frequency bands for transmitting standard time information from the radio time signal stations. When moving to a region of a different time zone, the terminal detects its movement and receives location information from a base station of a mobile communication network in the current region. The terminal retrieves information about a carrier frequency from information relative to an associated radio time signal station, and receives a radio time signal from the radio time signal station. The terminal's Real Time Clock (RTC) is initialized according to the radio time signal and time information of the RTC is updated using time information of an associated region. |
