1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a network node, information indicating whether the UE supports capability signaling based on a UE component identifier (ID) in order to reduce a size of signaling of UE capability information; and
transmitting, to the network node, the UE component ID assigned to represent a set of UE capabilities corresponding to the UE component ID, in an initial registration procedure to the network node, in case that the UE supports the capability signaling based on the UE component ID,
wherein the UE component ID is an alternative to the signaling of the UE capability information,
wherein the UE component ID assigned by a vendor of the UE includes an ID of the vendor of the UE,
wherein mapping information between each UE component ID and corresponding UE capabilities is stored in the network node, and
wherein the set of UE capabilities is identified by the UE component ID based on the mapping information.
