1. A method of providing, by a source edge data network, a service to a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
identifying a target edge data network, to which the terminal is expected to perform a handover, based on position information of the terminal;
determining whether transmission of expected data, which the target edge data network is expected to transmit to the terminal in relation to the service after the handover is performed, will be delayed;
transmitting a message requesting the expected data, to the target edge data network, based on determining that the transmission of the expected data will be delayed;
receiving data related to the service corresponding to the expected data from the target edge data network; and
transmitting the data related to the service to the terminal.
