1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a logged measurement configuration message for minimization of drive test (MDT);
identifying whether the logged measurement configuration message includes a field indicating for the terminal to log a measurement on an early measurement related frequency;
performing measurement logging based on the identification, in case that the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state or an RRC inactive state; and
transmitting, to the base station, a message including measurement results based on the measurement logging, after the terminal is transitioned to an RRC connected state,
wherein the measurement results include a measurement result for the MDT, in case that the field is absent in the logged measurement configuration message, and
wherein the measurement results include a measurement result for the early measurement related frequency, in case that the field is present in the logged measurement configuration message.
