1. A method for reducing a frequency of measurements for cell reselection in a mobile communication terminal, comprising the steps of:

  • measuring a signal receive level (“

    Srxlev”

    ) and a signal quality (“

    Squal”

    ) of a serving cell in an idle state;

    when a serving-cell selection condition is not satisfied or an adjacent-cell measurement condition is satisfied as a result of the measurement, examining whether the number of times of cell reselections reaches a critical value;

    when the number of times of cell reselections reaches the critical value, initializing the number of times of cell reselection using a value smaller than the critical value and returning to an idle state; and

    when the number of times of cell reselections does not reach the critical value, performing an adjacent-cell measurement for the cell reselection.
