A method for restarting a prohibit timer in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes starting the prohibit timer related to a transmission of power preference information; receiving, from a network, a handover message including a timer value; performing a handover procedure based on the received handover message; restarting the prohibit timer based on applying the received timer value included in the handover message; and stopping the prohibit timer based on whether the UE initiates radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment procedure while the prohibit timer is running. Further, upon initiating the RRC re-establishment procedure, the UE disables the transmission of the power preference information and stops the prohibit timer.
