Provided is a method of performing a handover in a mobile communication environment. The method of performing the handover using a mobile node (MN) that moves from a first access router (AR) network to a second AR network in a mobile Internet protocol (IP) network includes: (a) the MN providing a new care of address (CoA) allocation method to the second AR, the second AR previously obtaining a CoA according to the CoA allocation method; (b) after the MN completely performing the handover to a subnet of the second AR in a layer 2 of the MN, clearly informing the first AR that the MN moves; and (c) allocating a new CoA (NCoA) obtained by the second AR to the MN, the first AR starting to tunnel packets destined for a previous CoA (PCoA) to the NCoA, and normally performing a binding update process for a mobile IP. The method replaces a conventional fast handover method, and simplifies complicated message exchanges.
