Abstract

A communication technique of fusing a fifth generation (5G) communication for supporting higher data transmission rate beyond a fourth generation (4G) system with an Internet of things (IoT) technology and a system thereof is provided. The technique may be applied to an intelligent service (smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety related service, or the like) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT related technology. A method is provided for effectively managing a registration state for a terminal in a 5G core network such as an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a situation of accessing a 5G network via a non-3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access.

Claims (52)

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

receiving, from an access and mobility management entity executing an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first message requesting location information of a terminal while the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state; and

transmitting, to the access and mobility management entity, a second message including last known location information of the terminal for the base station and a time stamp associated with the last known location information of the terminal based on the first message.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, a third message for a radio access network (RAN) paging request;

receiving, from the terminal, a fourth message including current location information of the terminal; and

transmitting, to the access and mobility management entity, a fifth message including the current location information of the terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the last known location information of the terminal comprises at least one of a cell identity serving the terminal or a tracking area identifier.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the method further comprises transmitting, to the access and mobility management entity, a third message including information indicating that the terminal is in the RRC inactive state, and

wherein the third message further includes current location information of the terminal.

5. A method of an access and mobility management entity executing an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a first message requesting location information of a terminal; and

receiving, from the base station, a second message including last known location information of the terminal for the base station and a time stamp associated with the last known location information of the terminal based on the first message,

wherein the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a third message including current location information of the terminal,

wherein the current location information of the terminal is received from the terminal in a radio access network (RAN) paging procedure.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the last known location information of the terminal comprises at least one of a cell identity serving the terminal or a tracking area identifier.

8. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the method further comprises receiving, from the of the terminal station, a third message including information indicating the RRC inactive state of the terminal, and

wherein the third message further includes current location information of the terminal.

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

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from an access and mobility management entity executing an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first message requesting location information of a terminal while the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the access and mobility management entity, a second message including last known location information of the terminal for the base station and a time stamp associated with the last known location information of the terminal based on the first message.

10. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to the terminal, a third message for a radio access network (RAN) paging request,

control the transceiver to receive, from the terminal, a fourth message including current location information of the terminal, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the access and mobility management entity, a fifth message including the current location information of the terminal.

11. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the last known location information of the terminal comprises at least one of a cell identity serving the terminal or a tracking area identifier.

12. The base station of claim 9 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to the access and mobility management entity, a third message including information indicating that the terminal is in the RRC inactive state, and

wherein the third message further includes current location information of the terminal.

13. An access and mobility management entity executing access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the access and mobility management entity comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to a base station, a first message requesting location information of a terminal, and

control the transceiver to receive, from the base station, a second message including last known location information of the terminal for the base station and a time stamp associated with the last known location information of the terminal based on the first message,

wherein the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state.

14. The access and mobility management entity of claim 13 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to receive, from the base station, a third message including current location information of the terminal, and

wherein the current location information of the terminal is received from the terminal in a radio access network (RAN) paging procedure.

15. The access and mobility management entity of claim 13 , wherein the last known location information of the terminal comprises at least one of a cell identity serving the terminal or a tracking area identifier.

16. The access and mobility management entity of claim 13 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to receive, from the base station, a fourth third message including information indicating the RRC inactive state of the terminal, and

wherein the third message further includes current location information of the terminal.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message is continuously transmitted whenever the terminal changes a cell.

18. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second message is continuously received whenever the terminal changes a cell.

19. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the second message is continuously transmitted whenever the terminal changes a cell.

20. The access and mobility management entity of claim 13 , wherein the second message is continuously received whenever the terminal changes a cell.
