Abstract

Provided in one aspect is a method for handling a frequency priority performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: receiving minimum priority application request information from a network; and handling a frequency priority for cell reselection on the basis of the minimum priority application request information and the supporting characteristics of the terminal. The minimum priority application request information indicates an application of the minimum priority to a current frequency of the terminal or all frequencies of current radio access technology (RAT) of a cell which the terminal camps on. The supporting characteristic of the terminal is whether the terminal supports the RAT other than the current RAT. The handling of the frequency priority is a variable application of the frequency priority for the cell reselection according to the contents of the minimum priority application request information and the supporting characteristics of the terminal.
