Abstract
The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). A method for performing PLMN selection by user equipment (UE) (100) in dual registration mode is provided. The method includes registering on a registered PLMN (RPLMN) for receiving first wireless technology services and detecting, unavailability of second wireless technology services in at least one of the RPLMN and an equivalent PLMN (EqPLMN), starting, a periodic timer in response to detecting the unavailability of the second wireless technology services in at least one of the RPLMN and the EqPLMN, and performing, the PLMN selection based on a PLMN scan after an expiry of the periodic timer.
