    Abstract: The present disclosure realtes to a pre-5th generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). In an embodiment, a method, for managing an Authentication and Key Management for Applications (AKMA) service for a User Equipment (UE) in a communication system is disclosed. The method includes determining, by a network function, that the UE is not allowed to utilize the AKMA service, in response to detecting at least one condition associated with the UE. The method includes transmitting, by the network function, a request to an AKMA Anchor Function (AAnF) for deleting an AKMA context corresponding to the UE from a memory associated with the AAnF. The method includes deleting, by the AAnF, the AKMA context corresponding to the UE from the memory.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) selection in a UE for network connectivity. The method comprising receiving, by the UE associated with the system, a configuration message from an AMF in a network. Thereafter, the method comprising configuring each of a plurality of N3IWF identifiers and associated at least one S-NSSAI present in the configuration message, wherein the each of the plurality of N3IWF identifiers is an IP address or a FQDN. Subsequently, the method comprising selecting a N3IWF identifier from the plurality of N3IWF identifiers based on a user selection of a S-NSSAI associated with the N3IWF identifier for the network connectivity. The present disclosure makes user aware of the different N3IWFs available in the network, which allows user to select right N3IWF, and hence, the services the user wants to utilize while connecting via non-3 GPP network.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose methods for handling operation of a UE during a disaster situation by the UE. The method includes initiating a wait timer upon selecting a forbidden public land mobile network (FPLMN) to receive a disaster roaming service. Further, the method includes determining whether at least one of: a MS is registered via a non-3GPP access or 3GPP access to another allowable PLMN, the FPLMN has stopped broadcasting a disaster related indication, and the FPLMN has stopped broadcasting the PLMN with the disaster condition. Further, the method includes stopping the wait timer and performing a PLMN selection procedure based on the determination. The provided method optimizes the operations in disaster situations.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.
    Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a method and system for distributed discovery and notifications for edge computing. The method includes receiving, by an edge configuration server (ECS) (116), an information profile of at least one edge application server (EAS) (112) provided by a source edge enabler server (EES) (14A) from a plurality of EESs (114). The EAS (112) is registered with the source EES (114A), Further, the method includes determining, by the ECS (116), at least one target EES (114B) of the plurality of EESs (114) based on the information profile of the at least one EAS (112). Further, the method includes sending, by the ECS (116), at least one notification to the at least one target EES (114B). The at least one notification includes information about the source EES (114A), and the information profile of the at least one EAS (112).
