A method and apparatus for minimizing data forwarding between Evolved Node Bs (ENBs) during handover. A User Equipment (UE) sends a status report for RLC PDUs that have suffered a change in status, to an ENB of a source cell immediately before handover occurs, thus preventing RLC PDUs which have been successfully transmitted, but for which ACK signals have not yet been received, from being forwarded.

1. A handover method of a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: receiving measurement setting information from an Evolved Node B (ENB);performing a measurement by the UE based on the measurement setting information;when the measurement satisfies a measurement result report generation condition included in the measurement setting information, generating a measurement result report, transmitting the measurement result report to the ENB, and recognizing, by the UE, that handover is imminent based on the measurement setting information;if the measurement result report generation condition triggering the measurement result report to be transmitted is a first type, generating a Radio Link Control (RLC) status report message including information related to a highest sequence number among sequence numbers of RLC Packet Data Units (PDUs) which have been successfully received from the ENB; andsending the generated RLC status report message to the ENB,wherein the first type indicates that the measurement result report of a neighbor cell is better than a measurement of a serving cell for a certain period of time. 2. The handover method of claim 1, wherein the measurement setting information includes at least one measurement object and measurement identifiers. 3. The handover method of claim 1, wherein generating the RLC status report message comprises: generating an RLC status report message for an RLC entity that operates in an RLC Acknowledged Mode (AM), is not a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB), and has an RLC PDU which has been successfully received, but for which a reception success report has not been made. 4. The handover method of claim 1, wherein sending the RLC status report message comprises: determining priorities of a plurality of RLC status report messages according to priority of a logical channel or in descending order of the number of RLC PDUs which have been successfully received, but for which reception success reports have not been made, and sending the RLC status report messages according to the determined priorities. 5. The handover method of claim 1, wherein the RLC status report message comprises a logical channel identifier, which is an identifier of an RLC entity, and a highest sequence number among sequence numbers of RLC PDUs ordered at an Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) level. 6. A handover apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising: a Radio Link Control (RLC) status report controller for receiving measurement setting information from an Evolved Node B (ENB), performing a measurement based on the measurement setting information, generating a measurement result report and recognizing that handover is imminent when the measurement satisfies a measurement result report generation condition included in the measurement setting information, and generating an RLC status report message including information related to a highest sequence number among sequence numbers of RLC PDUs which have been successfully received from the ENB if the measurement result report generation condition triggering the measurement result report to be transmitted is a first type; anda physical layer for sending the generated measurement report and the generated RLC status report message to the ENB,wherein the first type indicates that the measurement result report of a neighbor cell is better than a measurement of a serving cell for a certain period of time. 7. The handover apparatus of claim 6, wherein the measurement setting information includes at least one measurement object and measurement identifiers. 8. The handover apparatus of claim 6, wherein the RLC status report controller generates an RLC status report message for an RLC entity that operates in an RLC Acknowledged Mode (AM), is not a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB), and has an RLC PDU which has been successfully received, but for which a reception success report has not been made. 9. The handover apparatus of claim 6, wherein the RLC status report controller determines priorities of a plurality of RLC status report messages according to priority of a logical channel or in descending order of the number of RLC PDUs which have been successfully received, but for which reception success reports have not been made, and sends the RLC status report messages according to the determined priorities. 10. The handover apparatus of claim 6, wherein the RLC status report message comprises a logical channel identifier, which is an identifier of an RLC entity, and a highest sequence number among sequence numbers of RLC PDUs ordered at an Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) level. 11. A method for supporting handover of a User Equipment (UE) by an Evolved Node B (ENB) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: sending measurement setting information to the UE so that the UE can determine imminence of handover and perform a measurement;receiving, from the UE, when the measurement performed by the UE satisfies a measurement result report generation condition included in the measurement setting information, a measurement result report, and if the measurement result report generation condition triggering the measurement result report is a first type, receiving, from the UE, an RLC status report message including information related to a highest sequence number among sequence numbers of RLC PDUs that the UE has successfully received; andforwarding, to a target ENB, remaining data except for the RLC PDUs that the UE has successfully received, depending on the received RLC status report message,wherein the first type indicates that the measurement result report of a neighbor cell is better than a measurement of a serving cell for a certain period of time. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the measurement setting information includes at least one measurement object and measurement identifiers. 13. An apparatus for supporting handover of a User Equipment (UE) by an Evolved Node B (ENB) in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising: a handover controller for sending a measurement setting information to the UE so that the UE can determine the imminence of handover and perform a measurement;a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer for receiving, from the UE, when the handover imminence indication is sent or the measurement performed by the UE setting information satisfies a measurement result report generation condition included in the measurement setting information, a measurement result report, and receiving, from the UE, if the measurement result report generation condition triggering the measurement result report to be transmitted is a first type, an RLC status report message including information related to a highest sequence number among sequence numbers of RLC PDUs that the UE has successfully received; anda data transmission controller for forwarding, to a target ENB, remaining data except for the RLC PDUs that the UE has successfully received, depending on the received RLC status report message,wherein the first type indicates that the measurement result report of a neighbor cell is better than a measurement of a serving cell for a certain period of time. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the measurement setting information includes at least one measurement object and measurement identifiers.
