A terminal and method are provided. The terminal includes an Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) table including at least one ARFCN information, and a controller for controlling a frequency scanning based on the ARFCN table to detect one or more ARFCNs from the ARFCN table and for controlling a camping on at least one of the detected one or more ARFCNs, such that the camping can be performed based on International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) information. The camping can be attempted without a scanning procedure for finding an available cell to reduce an amount of time for camping.
