The present disclosure relates to a base station that supports self-configuration and self-optimization and a method thereof. A method performed by a target base station in a mobile communication system includes: receiving a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE) from a source base station or a third base station; detecting a reason for an occurrence of a failure based on the RLF report of the UE; and transmitting a message to the source base station based on the detected reason for the occurrence of the failure.
