1. An electronic device, comprising:
at least one processor configured to support a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, and
memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a measurement object (MO) from a network, wherein the MO includes information on a frequency for which the electronic device is required to perform a measurement,
identify that dual connectivity (DC) of the first RAT and the second RAT is restricted,
identify, based on information on the frequency for which the electronic device is required to perform the measurement included in the MO, a first cell supporting a stand alone (SA) mode and a second cell not supporting the SA mode while the DC is restricted, and
perform a measurement of at least one first frequency of the first cell and refrain from a measurement of at least one second frequency of the second cell.
