Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related service, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT related technology. A method for a terminal according to the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving system information; receiving a signal from a service cell when a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer expires; determining the mobility of the terminal on the basis of the signal; and omitting neighboring cell measurement when the terminal has no mobility.
