Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for supporting UE access control. A base station is informed by a ProSe Function via a MME or informed by the MME of information indicating whether a UE is authorized for a D2D service. The base station performs an access control to the UE according to the information indicating whether the UE is authorized for the D2D service. The present disclosure further provides a method in which a source base station informs a target base station of the information indicating whether the UE is authorized for a D2D service. The target base station performs an access control according to the information.

Claims (29)

1. A method by a target base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a source base station, a first message to request handover of a terminal, the first message including first information indicating whether the terminal is authorized for a proximity direct discovery service;

transmitting a second message to respond to the handover of the terminal;

receiving, from the terminal, a third message for configuring a radio resource;

transmitting, to a core network node, a fourth message to request a path switch of the terminal;

receiving, from the core network node, a fifth message to respond to the path switch of the terminal, the fifth message including second information indicating whether the terminal is authorized for the proximity direct discovery service; and

performing, by the target base station, access control of the terminal for the proximity service based on the at least one of the first message or the fifth message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target base station considers that the terminal is authorized for the proximity service if the first information included in the first message indicates that the proximity service is authorized.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

updating information on the proximity service configured in the target base station if the second information included in the fifth message indicates that the proximity service is authorized.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

prohibiting access of the terminal for the proximity service if the second information included in the fifth message indicates that the proximity service is not authorized.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message and the second message further includes third information indicating whether the terminal is authorized for proximity direct communication service.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the information via a UE context modification request message.

7. A target base station in a wireless communication system, the target base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a source base station, a first message to request handover of a terminal, the first message including first information indicating whether the terminal is authorized for a proximity direct discovery service,

transmit a second message to respond to the handover of the terminal,

receive, from the terminal, a third message for configuring a radio resource,

transmit, to a core network node, a fourth message to request a path switch of the terminal,

receive, from the core network node, a fifth message to respond to the path switch of the terminal, the fifth message including second information indicating whether the terminal is authorized for the proximity direct discovery service, and

perform access control of the terminal for the proximity service based on the information included in at least one of the first message or the fifth message.

8. The target base station of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to consider that the terminal is authorized for the proximity service if the first information included in the first message indicates that the proximity service is authorized.

9. The target base station of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to update information on the proximity service configured in the base station if the second information included in the fifth message indicates that the proximity service is authorized.

10. The target base station of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to prohibit access of the terminal for the proximity service if the second information included in the fifth message indicates that the proximity service is not authorized.

11. The target base station of claim 7 , wherein the first message and the second message further includes third information indicating whether the terminal is authorized for proximity direct communication service.

12. The target base station of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive the information via a UE context modification request message.
