1. An electronic device comprising,
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from a network, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including information about at least one bandwidth part (BWP) available to the electronic device,
perform communication with the network using a first BWP among the at least one BWP,
based on a number of the at least one BWP available to the electronic device being more than one, control the electronic device to transmit, to the network, a message requesting to change a BWP being used by the electronic device, based on identifying an event being set for a BWP change,
based on the number of the at least one BWP available to the electronic device being one, control the electronic device to refrain from transmitting the message requesting to change the BWP being used by the electronic device although the event is identified,
receive, from the network in response to the message, a downlink control indicator (DCI) indicating a change from the first BWP to a second BWP included in the at least one BWP, and
control the electronic device to perform communication with the network using the second BWP, based on the reception of the DCI.
