1. A method of neighbor cell management in a mobile communication terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining whether battery power reduces to a threshold value;
checking if a number of neighbor cells in a neighbor cell list is equal to or greater than a predetermined number when the battery power reduces to the threshold value; and
performing a power saving neighbor cell management mode when the number of neighbor cells in a neighbor cell list is equal to or greater than the predetermined number.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method of neighbor cell management for reducing power consumption in a mobile communication terminal. The method includes determining whether battery power reduces to a threshold value, checking if a number of neighbor cells in a neighbor cell list is equal to or greater than a predetermined number when the battery power reduces to the threshold value, and performing a power saving neighbor cell management mode when the number of neighbor cells in a neighbor cell list is equal to or greater than predetermined number.
