    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for performing a secondary node change procedure disclosed by a source secondary node in a wireless communication system. A master node receives a secondary node change request message from the source secondary node, transmits a secondary node addition request message to a target secondary node, receives a secondary node addition request confirm message from the target secondary node, and transmits a secondary node change request confirm message to the source secondary node.

    Abstract: A new cell specific procedure and/or a mobility procedure may be defined to more efficiently support a network slice function in new radio access technology (NR), which is a part of a 5G communication system. In terms of a radio access network (RAN)-RAN interface, the cell specific procedure comprises that a first RAN node transmits a first indicator related with the slice support of the first RAN node to a second RAN node, and receives from the second RAN node a second indicator related with the slice support of the first RAN node. The mobility procedure comprises that a target RAN node transmits a path change request message including slice-related information to a core network (CN) node, and receives from the CN node a path change response message including at least one of a common control plane function (C-CPF) identifier (ID), a finally selected slice-related ID or U-Plane information.
