1. A method for operating an electronic device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first content server, a first part of content up to a resuming point of the content via a source base station (BS) by using an internet protocol (IP) address of the first content server;
performing a handover from the source BS to a target BS; and
receiving, from a second content server, a second part of the content from the resuming point of the content via the target BS based on information for a session between the electronic device and the first content server, the information indicating the resuming point of the content,wherein the second part of the content is transmitted via the target BS by using the IP address of the first content server, andwherein the information is transmitted from the first content server to the second content server.
