Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for combining, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system, and to a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to an intelligent service (e.g., a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, etc.), based on a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The present disclosure suggests a method for effectively performing a standby mode operation in a next generation mobile communication, and a device therefor and, more particularly, to a method for efficiently reselecting a cell, and a device therefor. Also, the present disclosure relates to: a method for making a report, including beam measurement information, at the time of measurement reporting of a user equipment, and a device therefor; a method for performing measurement reporting by way of layer 1/layer 2 signaling, and a device therefor; and a method for changing between RRC modes including an RRC inactive mode, and a device therefor.
