1. A method of controlling a scanning period using a velocity sensor in a mobile communication terminal, comprising the steps of:

  • measuring a velocity of the mobile communication terminal;

    determining whether the measured velocity is greater than a threshold velocity;

    identifying a scanning period corresponding to the velocity in a look-up table, if the velocity is greater than the threshold velocity; and

    scanning a neighboring access point of a wireless local area network at the identified scanning period.
