Abstract

An example method for an electronic device includes determining, while accessing a first network supporting a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), to change a serving RAT to a second RAT, identifying a time interval in which the electronic device maintains an active state to communicate with the first network, scanning the second RAT during a period determined based on a start timing or an end timing of the time interval, and accessing a second network supporting the second RAT based on a result of the scanning.
