Electronic device performing handover and method for operating thereof

A method, comprising:

• receiving a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a measurement object (MO) from a network, wherein the MO includes information on a frequency for which the electronic device is required to perform a measurement,
• identifying that dual connectivity (DC) of the first RAT and the second RAT is restricted,
• identifying, based on information on the frequency for which the electronic device is required to perform the measurement included in the MO, a first cell supporting a stand alone (SA) mode and a second cell not supporting the SA mode while the DC is restricted, and
• performing a measurement of at least one first frequency of the first cell and refraining from a measurement of at least one second frequency of the second cell.

A computer-readable non-volatile recording medium storing instructions configured to perform one or more operations by a processor, the one or more operations comprising:

• receiving a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a measurement object (MO) from a network, wherein the MO includes information on a frequency for which the electronic device is required to perform a measurement,
• identifying that dual connectivity (DC) of the first RAT and the second RAT is restricted,
• identifying, based on information on the frequency for which the electronic device is required to perform the measurement included in the MO, a first cell supporting a stand alone (SA) mode and a second cell not supporting the SA mode while the DC is restricted, and
• performing a measurement of at least one first frequency of the first cell and refraining from a measurement of at least one second frequency of the second cell.
