    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate and to a method to handle rejected NSSAI area. The method includes receiving a NAS message indicating registration accept or registration reject with a reject cause. The reject cause indicating a S-NSSAI is not available in a subset of a current registration area where the reject cause is applied for a S-NSSAI. In an example, the method includes storing the rejected S-NSSAI in a rejected NSSAI for the subset of the current registration area. In another example, the method includes deleting a current registration area based on the subset of the current registration area where the reject cause is applied for the S-NSSAI. The UE considers a S-NSSAI part of the requested NSSAI as not applicable to current tracking area and S-NSSAI part of the requested NSSAI is allowed outside current tracking area.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6th generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method for handling a Non access stratum (NAS) procedure (e.g., service request (SR) procedure or the like) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network is provided. The method includes triggering the SR procedure and determining a transmission failure of the SR or a control plane service request message in response to triggering the SR procedure. Further, the method includes determining whether the SR procedure is triggered for a reason comprising one of requesting the wireless network to release a NAS signaling connection, and rejecting a paging request from the wireless network, or requesting the wireless network to release the NAS signaling connection. Further, the method includes performing one of aborting the SR procedure triggered due to the reason in response to determining the transmission failure, or re-triggering the SR procedure triggered not due to the reason in response to determining the transmission failure.
