The present disclosure relates to an electronic device supporting dual connectivity (ENDC) between a 4G network (LTE) and a 5G network (NR), and the electronic device may include a first communication module connected to a 4G base station to perform control and signal processing for transmission and reception of signals through a 4G network; a second communication module connected to a 5G base station to perform control and signal processing for transmission and reception of signals through a 5G network; an application processor (AP) that detects a change of an operation state of the electronic device when the operation state is changed; and a modem that activates only the first communication module to perform wireless communication with the 4G base station, or further activates the second communication module to perform wireless communication with both the 4G base station and the 5G base station according to the operation state of the electronic device detected by the AP.

Electronic device supporting ENDC (EUTRAN (evolved universal terrestrial radio access network) NR (new radio) dual connectivity) and a control method of thereof

A method of performing a handover between heterogeneous networks and user equipment apparatus for the same are disclosed. The user equipment apparatus includes a first type communication module configured to transceive a signal with a first type base station (BS) using a first wireless communication scheme, a second type communication module configured to transceive a signal with a second type BS using a second wireless communication scheme, and a processor configured to control the handover to be performed on a second type BS operating in an idle state with the second type communication module when a signal is received from a first type BS operating in an active state with the first type communication module, wherein the signal request that the UE performs the handover to the second type BS operating in an idle state with the second type communication module from the first type BS.
