1. An electronic device comprising:
a memory storing a forbidden public land mobile network (FPLMN) list including a node to which access of the electronic device is blocked;
a communication circuit; and
a communication processor,
wherein the communication processor is configured to:
receive, through a first node, a handover command signal transmitted by a cellular network,
search for a second node to which a handover is to be performed, based on information of the second node included in the handover command signal,
identify whether the second node is included in the FPLMN list, based on system information which is broadcast by the second node and includes information of multiple public land mobile networks (PLMNs),
in case that the second node is included in the FPLMN list, transmit a first tracking area update (TAU) request signal to the second node, and
connect to the second node according to reception of a first accept message corresponding to the first TAU request signal.
