scanning a plurality of frequencies;
obtaining cell information;
based on the obtained cell information, identifying a first cell to camp on from among a plurality of cells corresponding to the scanned plurality of frequencies, wherein, in identifying the first cell, a cell supporting an evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) new radio (NR)-dual connectivity (DC) (EN-DC) is preferred by the UE over a cell not supporting the EN-DC; and
camping on the identified first cell.
