The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for performing a handover by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes measuring a signal quality of a first network and determining whether the handover is required based on the signal quality of the first network, when the handover is determined to be required, communicating data through both a connection with the first network and a connection with a second network during a delay period and measuring the signal quality of the first network, when the delay period ends, determining whether to perform the handover based on the signal quality of the first network at a time when the delay period ends, and performing the handover.
