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

  • measuring, by a velocity sensor, a velocity of the mobile communication terminal;

    determining, by a controller, whether the measured velocity is greater than a threshold velocity;

    scanning at a default scanning period, if the velocity is not greater than the threshold velocity;

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

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