Abstract: Disclosed is a method for enabling a mobile terminal to perform a handover in a mobile communication system. A serving base station which supports both a first communication scheme and a second communication scheme can transmit, to the mobile terminal, a neighbor base station list broadcast message containing time offset information indicating the point of time to transmit information on a second base station which uses the second communication scheme and supports only the second communication scheme via a specific zone using the second communication scheme. The mobile terminal which has received the message can receive, from the serving base station, the information on the second base station via the specific zone on the basis of the received time offset information.
