Abstract

A method for providing a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service in a 5G mobile communication system. In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, a method performed by a device for performing a network exposure function (NEF) in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a server, a request message including request information related to service-specific information; changing data in a unified data repository (UDR) on the basis of the request message; and performing provisioning of the changed data to a user equipment (UE) via a policy control function (PCF) is provided.

Claims (71)

in case the UE is in coverage, information on a public land mobile network (PLMN) in which the UE is authorized to perform the service and radio access technology (RAT) over which the UE is authorized to perform the service in the PLMN, and

in case the UE is out of coverage, information for indicating whether the UE is authorized to perform the service.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the changing of the data comprises storing, updating, or deleting the data in the UDR on the basis of the request message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request information further includes identification information of the UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request information includes a service parameter related to a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service.

5. A method performed by an entity that implements a unified data repository (UDR) function in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a network exposure function (NEF), request information related to a service, the request information including information for identifying the service and service parameter information for delivering to a user equipment (UE) to support the service, a request message including the request information being transmitted from a server to the NEF;

changing data on the basis of the request information; and

performing provisioning of the changed data to the UE via a policy control function (PCF),

wherein the information for identifying the service is represented by at least one of a combination of a data network name (DNN) and single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), an application function (AF)-service-identifier and an application identifier, and

wherein the service parameter information included in the request information transmitted from the server to the NEF includes:

in case the UE is in coverage, information on a public land mobile network (PLMN) in which the UE is authorized to perform the service and radio access technology (RAT) over which the UE is authorized to perform the service in the PLMN, and

in case the UE is out of coverage, information for indicating whether the UE is authorized to perform the service.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising receiving, from the PCF, a notification subscription message corresponding to the changing of the data,

wherein the performing of the provisioning to the UE comprises performing provisioning of the changed data to the UE via the PCF, in response to the notification subscription message.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the changing of the data comprises storing, updating, or deleting the data on the basis of a request message including the request information.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the request information further includes identification information of the UE.

9. A method performed by an entity that implements a policy control function (PCF) in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a unified data repository (UDR), a first message for a notification subscription corresponding to changing of data in the UDR;

receiving, from the UDR, a second message corresponding to the changing of the data in the UDR in response to the first message, the second message including information for identifying a service and service parameter information for delivering to a user equipment (UE) to support the service; and

performing provisioning of information included in the second message to the UE via an access and mobility management function (AMF),

wherein the information for identifying the service is represented by at least one of a combination of a data network name (DNN) and single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), an application function (AF)-service-identifier and an application identifier, and

wherein the service parameter information is included in request information transmitted from a server to a network exposure function (NEF), and the service parameter information includes:

in case the UE is in coverage, information on a public land mobile network (PLMN) in which the UE is authorized to perform the service and radio access technology (RAT) over which the UE is authorized to perform the service in the PLMN, and

in case the UE is out of coverage, information for indicating whether the UE is authorized to perform the service.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second message further includes identification information of the UE.

11. An entity that implements a network exposure function (NEF) in a communication system, the entity comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from an internal or external network entity; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a server, a request message including request information related to a service, the request information including information for identifying the service and service parameter information for delivering to a user equipment (UE) to support the service,

change data in a unified data repository (UDR) on the basis of the request message, and

perform provisioning of the changed data to the UE via a policy control function (PCF),

wherein the information for identifying the service is represented by at least one of a combination of a data network name (DNN) and single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), an application function (AF)-service-identifier and an application identifier, and

wherein the service parameter information included in the request information transmitted from the server to the NEF includes:

in case the UE is in coverage, information on a public land mobile network (PLMN) in which the UE is authorized to perform the service and radio access technology (RAT) over which the UE is authorized to perform the service in the PLMN, and
