Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided in a wireless communication system. Frequency information associated with a cell selection is stored, and a plurality of frequencies are scanned. Cell information is obtained based on the stored frequency information, and, based on the obtained cell information, a first cell to camp on is identified from among a plurality of cells corresponding to the second plurality of frequencies. In identifying the first cell, a cell supporting an evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) new radio (NR)-dual connectivity (DC) (EN-DC) is preferred over a cell not supporting the EN-DC. The identified first cell is camped on.
