1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information associated with a contention free random access (CFRA) resource;
identifying whether a synchronization signal block (SSB) with synchronization signal-reference signal received power (SS-RSRP) above a first threshold among at least one SSB associated with the CFRA resource is available, based on the information associated with the CFRA resource including first information on the at least one SSB;
in response to identifying that the SSB with the SS-RSRP above the first threshold among the at least one SSB associated with the CFRA resource is available, selecting the SSB with the SS-RSRP above the first threshold;
in response to identifying that the SSB with the SS-RSRP above the first threshold among SSBs is not available, selecting an SSB among the at least one SSB associated with the CFRA resource; and
transmitting, to the base station, a first random access preamble corresponding to the selected SSB for performing a CFRA procedure.
