    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method in a roaming environment supporting a network slice is provided. The method comprises the steps of: receiving, from a terminal, a first packet data unit (PDU) session request message including slice assistance information indicating the properties of a service the terminal intends to use; transmitting, to a network function (NF) repository function, a first discovery request message including a home public land mobile network (PLMN) ID of the terminal and the slice assistance information; and receiving, from the NF repository function, a first discovery response message including a session management network function (SM NF) address of the home PLMN. The SM NF is selected on the basis of the slice assistance information.

    摘要: Provided are a method and apparatus for supporting migration of mobile edge computing in a wireless communication system. A method, performed by a Session Management Function (SMF), of controlling a path between an Application function (AF) and a user equipment in a wireless communication system includes: receiving, from the AF, an AF request message including information indicating whether User Plane Function (UPF) modification is allowed; determining whether a modification of a UPF in the path between the AF and the user equipment is required; transmitting a notification including information associated with the modification of a UPF to the AF, based on a result of the determining whether the modification of the UPF is required; determining whether to wait for reception of a response message from the AF for a certain period of time, based on the information indicating whether UPF modification is allowed; and controlling a modification of the path between the AF and the user equipment, the path including the UPF, based on a result of the determining whether to wait.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a communication technique for combining, with IoT technology, a 5th generation (5G) communication system or a pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate after a 4th generation (4G) system such as long-term evolution (LTE), and to a system therefor. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g., a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, etc.), based on a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. Various embodiments may provide a method for managing context of a terminal in a mobile communication system.

    摘要: A method of performing communication, by a network exposure function (NEF), in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a connection establishment request from a session management function (SMF), based on a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure performed between the SMF and a user equipment (UE), performing a non-internet protocol (IP) data delivery (NIDD) configuration procedure according to NIDD configuration information included in the connection establishment request, based on whether the NIDD configuration procedure is previously performed on the UE between the NEF and an application function (AF), establishing connection between the SMF and the NEF, and transmitting a connection establishment response to the SMF.

    摘要: A method of selecting, by a control entity, a network slice is provided. The method includes receiving a create session request message from a Serving Gateway (S-GW) in response to a Packet Data Network (PDN) connectivity request message transmitted by a terminal, transmitting, to a storage entity, a request message for subscriber information including identification information of the terminal, receiving, from the storage entity, subscription data of the terminal corresponding to the identification information of the terminal, selecting at least one network slice based on the subscription data of the terminal and slice information supportable by the control entity, and transmitting a create session response message including information of the selected at least one network slice, wherein the subscription data of the terminal includes information about a subscribed network slice of the terminal and information regarding whether the subscribed network slice of the terminal is supported in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
