1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
establishing dual connectivity with a first cell and a second cell;
transmitting, to at least one of the first cell or the second cell, a capability information of the terminal, wherein the capability information includes information on a switching delay time required for uplink switching between the first cell and the second cell;
receiving, from the at least one of the first cell or the second cell, an uplink resource allocation information based on the information on the switching delay time, resources of the first cell and resources of the second cell, wherein the resources of the first cell and the resources of the second cell are allocated on time axis; and
performing an uplink communication with the at least one of the first cell or the second cell based on the uplink resource allocation information.
