Summary:PURPOSE: A call disconnection preventing method in a WCDMA priority multi-mode terminal is provided to reduce call disconnection time by transmitting a pilot signal to a specific frequency band of a WCDMA cell to start a CDMA2000 modem of a terminal before call disconnection. CONSTITUTION: When a terminal is turned on, a WCDMA chip is first started, a voice call proceeds in the WCDMA mode, and a CDMA2000 cell in an adjacent boundary area continuously sends a specific signal to a WCDMA cell(S100,S101). It is determined whether the terminal is in a boundary area based on system information broadcast from a base station of a cell of a WCDMA area(S102). If the terminal is in the boundary area, when a strength of a specific signal reaches a certain value while the terminal is moving, a CDMA2000 modem is initiated(S103,S104). If the WCDMA signal becomes so feeble that the call is disconnected, the call is re-originated to the CDMA2000 by using the initiated CDMA2000 modem(S105,S106). WCDMA 우선방식의 다중모드 단말기에서의 호 단절 방지방법으로서, 음성호 발신시에 WCDMA 방식으로 음성호를 진행하면서 경계지역의 CDMA2000 셀에서 WCDMA 셀로 특정 신호를 계속 송출하는 신호송출단계와; 음성호 진행중에 CDMA2000 셀과의 경계지역인가를 판단하는 경계지역 판단단계와; 상기 경계지역 판단단계의 판단결과 경계지역인 경우, 이동중에 상기 특정 신호의 세기가 소정값에 도달하면 CDMA2000 모뎀을 기동시키는 모뎀기동단계와; WCDMA 신호가 미약해져 호가 단절되는 경우, 상기 기동된 CDMA2000 모뎀을 이용하여 CDMA2000 망으로 호를 재발신하는 재발신단계로 이루어진 방법을 제공하여 두 개의 모뎀을 동시에 구동하지 않으므로, 배터리의 수명을 단축하지 않고서도 호 단절을 최소화한다.
