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 technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method of providing a profile package by a profile server and the profile server includes generating a profile package, dividing the profile package in a unit installable in a UICC of an electronic device, reconfiguring the divided profile information in an encryptable unit, and transmitting the reconfigured profile information to the electronic device. Further, provided is an operating method and apparatus of an electronic device communicating with the profile server.
Abstract:
A method for receiving profile information by a terminal in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure to solve the above-described problem comprises the steps of: transmitting, to a predetermined server, a first request message including an identifier related to the terminal and information related to a standby server; transmitting, to the standby server, a second request message including identifier information related to the terminal; and receiving, from the standby server, a first response message including server information for profile reception. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to effectively carry out an opening of an eUICC terminal and a device change, and flexibly manage a transfer server for profile download. In addition, it is possible to flexibly install and manage a communication provider's remote installation of a profile in the eUICC terminal.
Abstract:
A method to converge a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system to support higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) is provided. This disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security/safety services.A method of transmitting and updating modified information to a profile management server (SM-SR) when a modification is made to information stored in an eUICC that is a security module embedded in a terminal is provided. The present disclosure relates to a method to update a profile management server to enable profile management using OTA technology when a modification is made to data stored in an MNO-SD that is a unique area of each mobile network operator of a profile stored in an eUICC.
Abstract:
A method of combining a 5G communication system for supporting a data rate higher than that of a beyond 4G system with IoT technology, and a system thereof, are provided. The method by a mobility management (MM) function entity includes receiving a message including session information for a terminal in an idle mode, transmitting a paging message for the terminal based on the message, receiving a service request message for the terminal from a base station, transmitting an interface configuration request message including the session information to the base station based on the session information, receiving an interface configuration response message from the base station, and transmitting information for configuring an interface between a user plane gateway (UP GW) corresponding to the session information and the base station.
Abstract:
Provided is a technique to download and install a profile to a universal integrated circuit without receiving, from a network, an SMS for triggering reception of the profile. Specifically, a terminal according to the present invention comprises a communication unit configured to transmit and receive a signal; a control unit configured to create information for triggering reception of a profile; and a universal integrated circuit card configured to: access a profile management server and receive the profile based on the information using the communication unit, and install the received profile.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of selecting profiles is provided that provides communication services of a terminal equipped with embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) (or embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM)) and Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC). The method of selecting a profile in a terminal including a plurality of subscriber identity module (SIMs) that differ from each other in type, includes selecting, when sensing a profile changing event, one of the plurality of SIMs according to a preset rule, selecting one of a plurality of profiles stored in the plurality of SIMs, and applying the selected profile to the terminal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for setting profiles are provided. The profile setting method includes receiving, from a first terminal, a profile transfer request message that requests transfer of a first profile or portion thereof from a first secure element to a second secure element; configuring a second profile using the first profile or portion thereof; and sending, to a second terminal, the configured second profile.
Abstract:
A profile downloading method and apparatus is provided for a terminal to download and install a profile in a communication system. The communication method of the terminal includes transmitting a first message including information on a profile to be received from a profile provision server; receiving a second message including information indicating whether an encryption code input is required and a first modified encryption code; generating, when the first modified encryption code is successfully authenticated, a second modified encryption code; transmitting to the profile provision server a third message including information requesting to the profile provision server for the second modified encryption code and profile download, and receiving a fourth message including information on the profile from the profile provision server.
