1. A method of camping a user equipment (UE) on a cell, based the UE being present in overlapping 5th generation (5G) and 4th generation (4G) areas, the method comprising:
creating, by the UE, a combined most recently used (MRU) list by merging a list of 4G MRU frequencies having a 5G core (5GC) and a list of 5G MRU frequencies;
determining, by the UE, whether one of a 4G cell with 5G core and a 5G cell is available for camping the UE by performing a MRU scan on the combined MRU list; and
performing, by the UE, at least one of:
camping on one of the 4G cell with 5G core (5GC) and the 5G cell in response to determining that one of the 5G cell and the 4G cell with 5G core is available for camping the UE based on the MRU scan on the combined MRU list, and
performing a 4G MRU frequency scan on a list of 4G MRU frequencies without 5GC in response to determining that one of the 4G cell with 5G core and the 5G cell is not available for camping the UE based on the MRU scan on the combined MRU list, and camping the UE based on the 4G MRU frequency scan.
