Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of transmitting/receiving a signal in a Mobile Management Entity (MME) of a mobile communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a subscriber information request message including information of a UE, to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS); receiving, from the HSS, a response message which corresponds to the request message and includes an indicator indicating whether it is possible to perform traffic offloading using a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with regard to an Access Point Name (APN) connection or a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection of the UE; determining whether it is possible to perform the traffic offloading using the WLAN, on the basis of at least one of information included in the received response message and information configured in the MME; and; and transmitting, to the UE, a message including information on whether it is possible to perform the traffic offloading using the WLAN. A communication method according to an embodiment of the present specification can generate one or more PDN connections with regard to one APN when the UE accesses a PDN through the WLAN. Further, the communication method according to the present invention can effectively be subjected to a traffic offloading control by the eNB even when the UE is roaming.

Various embodiments are possible.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for installing a profile in a terminal including a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) corresponding to a smart card security module, which is inserted into a mobile communication terminal and then used are provided. More particularly, a method and an apparatus for remotely installing or removing mobile communication subscriber information in/from a profile of a terminal are provided. The terminal can remotely download the profile from a network server (subscription manager data preparation (SM-DP) or subscription manager secure routing (SM-SR)) without any change in a mobile network operator information technology (IT) system interface rather than downloading the profile of the terminal by the network server.
Abstract:
Disclosed are: a communication method for incorporating an IoT technique with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than that of a 4G system or a subsequent system; and a system therefor. The present invention can be applied to intelligent services (for example, services related to smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail business, security, safety, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technique and IoT-related techniques. A method for transmitting and receiving a signal by a base station in a mobile communication system comprises the steps of: receiving a handover request message including a first information related to a device-to-device (D2D) service for a handover target terminal; and allocating D2D resources to the terminal based on the handover request message. A communication method and device of the base station and network equipment in the mobile communication system, according to the present invention, can quickly provide, to the base station to which the terminal moves, a D2D service authorized indication of the terminal for a PLMN provided from the base station of a region to which the terminal moves, even though the terminal moves to the region at which the different PLMNs are provided, and can allow the terminal to endlessly use the services, since the terminal is allocated with the resources for the D2D services during the movement thereof.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling Short Message Service (SMS) delivery to a User Equipment (UE) over a Packet-Switched (PS) network without involvement of any Circuit Switched (CS) network node are provided. The method includes receiving subscriber information of a terminal from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), determining whether the MME supports short message delivery over a Packet-Switched (PS) network, and transmitting, when the MME supports the short message delivery over the PS network, a registration request message including information for routing the short message to the MME to the HSS. The SMS delivery method and apparatus is capable of delivering the SMS message to the UE over the PS network without involvement of the CS network nodes, thereby negating the necessity of CS network nodes for supporting SMS service, resulting in reduction of maintenance and management costs.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, and security and safety related services, on the basis of 5G communications technologies and IoT-related technologies. More specifically, a method for operating relay user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system of the present invention comprises the steps of: transmitting, to a mobility management entity (MME) connected to relay UE, a remote UE report message comprising remote UE information on remote UE accessing a network via the relay UE; and receiving, from the MME, a response message corresponding to the remote UE report message.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for configuring a function of monitoring events concerning user equipment (UE) are provided. The method of a home subscriber server (HSS) includes receiving a first request message including monitoring event information from a service capability exposure function (SCEF), setting, if the monitoring event information is set to loss of connectivity, a mobility-related timer of a terminal to a value based on a value of a maximum detection time included in the first request message, and transmitting a second request message including the monitoring event information and the set mobility-related timer of the terminal to a mobility management entity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method to install a terminal profile in a wireless communication system, and the method may comprise the steps of: displaying a list including one or more mobile network providers; detecting a selection with respect to any one of the one or more mobile network providers; obtaining connection-related information with respect to the selected mobile network provider from a discovery server based on information related to the selected mobile network provider; and transmitting identification information of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) and identification information of the discovery server to a server of the selected mobile network provider based on the connection-related information, in order to download a UICC-related profile from a profile administrator. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment and other embodiments are possible.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided that improves the quality of voice calls in a mobile communication network. The method of performing transmission/reception of signals in an evolved Node B (eNB) of a mobile communication system includes: receiving a first message including service request information from user equipment (UE); transmitting a second message including the service request information to an Mobility Management Entity (MME); receiving a third message including context information for the UE from the MME; and determining an inactivity timer value for the UE based on the context information. The method and apparatus can maintain, when a voice call is created, connection with calling UE from when the called UE answers the call until the call is set up, thereby preventing part of a caller's voice data from being lost.
