1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network, information for a list of stand-alone non-public networks (SNPNs);
receiving, from the network, system information comprising information for a list of group identifiers of the network and information for a list of bitmaps;
identifying one or more group identifiers supported by each SNPN in the list of SNPNs based on:
an n-th entry in the list of bitmaps corresponding to an n-th SNPN in the list of SNPNs;
a k-th bit from a left side in each bitmap corresponding to a k-th group identifier among group identifiers related to the list of group identifiers; and
a bit set to 1 in a bitmap informing that a corresponding group identifier is supported by a SNPN corresponding to the bitmap;
selecting a SNPN which broadcasts a group identifier of the network among one or more group identifiers supported by a subscribed SNPN in the list of SNPNs; and
selecting a cell of the selected SNPN to camp on.
