A portable communication device includes a touch screen display; first communication circuitry configured to support a long term evolution (LTE) communication; second communication circuitry configured to support a new radio (NR) communication; a memory storing operator information indicating an operator of a mobile network and operator policy information; and at least one processor configured to receive, from an LTE base station corresponding to the mobile network via the first communication circuitry, a system information block (SIB) and a non-access stratum (NAS) message, determine, based on the SIB and the NAS message, whether dual connectivity of the LTE communication and the NR communication is available for the portable communication device, based on the operator information, the operator policy information and determining that the dual connectivity is available for the portable communication device, select an indicator from a first indicator and a second indicator, the first indicator indicating that the portable communication device is connected with the mobile network via the LTE communication, the second indicator indicating that the NR communication is available for the portable communication device to connect with the mobile network, and display the selected indicator via the touch screen display.

Electronic device for displaying indicator regarding network and method thereof

A communication technique for merging, with internet of things (IoT) technology, a fifth generation (5G) communication system for supporting a higher data rate, subsequent to a fourth generation (4G) system, and a system thereof are provided. The disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety-related services, and the like), based on a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. A method for reporting user equipment (UE) capability of a terminal and a device thereof are provided.

Method and apparatus for reporting UE capability of terminal in next-generation mobile communication system

Electronic device for displaying indicator to indicate a type of wireless network and method thereof

An electronic device includes at least one wireless communication circuit; a display, a processor, and a memory configured to store first information associated with new radio (NR) cell searching, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive a system information block (SIB) including information indicating that evolved terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) new radio-dual connectivity (EN-DC) is possible, from a long-term evolution (LTE) base station by using the at least one wireless communication circuit; select a cell of the LTE base station based at least partly on the SIB, using the at least one wireless communication circuit; display a first indicator associated with availability of LTE on a partial region of the display, in response to selecting the cell of the LTE base station; after selecting the cell of the LTE base station, perform the NR cell searching based at least partly on the first information, using the at least one wireless communication circuit; display a second indicator associated with availability of NR on the partial region of the display, based at least partly on the result of the NR cell searching; and display a third indicator obtained by changing at least part of a color or shading of the second indicator, on the partial region of the display in response to performing data transmission to an NR base station after determining the result of the NR cell searching.
