1. An user equipment, comprising:
memory;
a communication circuit configured to transmit and receive data to and from a network; and
a communication processor including processing circuitry and connected to the memory and the communication circuit,
wherein the communication processor is configured to:
identify information on nodes adjacent to the user equipment included in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message received from the network, wherein the information on the nodes adjacent to the user equipment includes at least one condition of execution of conditional handover and information related to performance of each of the nodes adjacent to the user equipment;
identify at least one or more nodes among the nodes adjacent to the user equipment, the at least one or more nodes satisfying the at least one condition of the execution of the conditional handover;
identify information related to the performance of the identified at least one or more nodes satisfying the at least one condition of the execution of the conditional handover from the RRC reconfiguration message; and
select a node to perform the conditional handover among the at least one or more nodes based on RSRP of each of the at least one or more nodes, a type of service being performed by the user equipment and the information related to the performance of the identified at least one or more nodes satisfying the at least one condition of the execution of the conditional handover.
