    Abstract: A method and a user equipment (UE) are provided for steering traffic within a visitor public land mobile network (VPLMN) in a wireless communication system. The UE transmits to a network, access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF)-related information comprising information on at least one of a home ANDSF (H-ANDSF) configured by a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) or a visitor ANDSF (V-ANDSF) configured by the VPLMN. The UE receives, from the network, traffic steering information which is generated by the network based on the ANDSF-related information, and steers traffic based on the received traffic steering information. The ANDSF-related information indicates whether the H-ANDSF or the V-ANDSF is an enhanced ANDSF. When the ANDSF-related information indicates that the H-ANDSF or the V-ANDSF is the enhanced ANDSF, the traffic steering information comprises a radio access network (RAN) rule parameter corresponding to a RAN rule configured by the network.

    Abstract: A method for changing a coverage enhancement mode in a wireless communication system supporting a coverage enhancement (CE) is disclosed. For this, the method comprising: receiving, from a network, information on a CE mode level supported by the network, wherein the information on the supported CE mode level indicates a highest level among CE mode levels currently supported by the network; determining a CE mode level of the UE; and transmitting, to the network, a first message for requesting a change of the supported CE mode level, when the determined CE mode level of the UE is higher than or equal to the supported CE mode level.
