A method of reducing an amount of media data lost when a next handover is performed, wherein the method is performed by a first terminal for transmitting and receiving the media data to and from a second terminal, the method including: predicting an amount of the media data that may be lost when the next handover is performed; generating control information for reducing the amount of the media data lost when the next handover is performed by using the predicted amount of the media data lost when the next handover is performed; and reducing the amount of the media data lost when the next handover is performed by using the generated control information while the next handover is performed.
