Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5 th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4 th generation (4G) system, such as long-term evolution (LTE). The disclosure provides a method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method including: performing communication with an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a first network; and transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on the AMF in a second network.

Claims (34)

1. A method for operating a network node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE) supporting a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, a UE-initiated deregistration request message;

determining whether a protocol data unit (PDU) session is established for the UE;

in case that the PDU session is established for the UE, determining whether a usage reporting for the second RAT is required for the PDU session; and

based on the determination that the usage reporting for the second RAT is required for the PDU session, transmitting, to receive the usage reporting for the second RAT, to the UE, a deregistration accept message, and transmitting, to a radio access node (RAN) connected to the UE, a N2 UE context release request message for a signaling connection release of the RAN.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

waiting for completion of the signaling connection release of the RAN to receive the usage reporting for the second RAT from the RAN.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

after completion of the signaling connection release of the RAN, receiving, from the RAN, the usage reporting for the second RAT.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

after completion of the signaling connection release of the RAN, transmitting, to a session management function (SMF), a PDU session release request message to release the PDU session.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deregistration request message includes at least one of 5 th generation-globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI), a deregistration type, or an access type to be deregistered.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

when the usage reporting for the second RAT is not required for the PDU session, transmitting, to a session management function (SMF), a PDU session release request message to release the PDU session.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving, from the SMF, a PDU session release response message.

8. A network node in a wireless communication system, the network node comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE) supporting a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, a UE-initiated deregistration request message,

determine whether a protocol data unit (PDU) session is established for the UE,

in case that the PDU session is established for the UE, determine whether a usage reporting for the second RAT is required for the PDU session, and

based on the determination that the usage reporting for the second RAT is required for the PDU session, to receive the usage reporting for the second RAT, transmit, to the UE, a deregistration accept message, and transmitting, to a radio access node (RAN) connected to the UE, a N2 UE context release request message for a signaling connection release of the RAN.

9. The network node of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

wait for completion of the signaling connection release of the RAN to receive the usage reporting for the second RAT from the RAN.

10. The network node of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

after completion of the signaling connection release of the RAN, receive, from the RAN, the usage reporting for the second RAT.

11. The network node of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

after completion of the signaling connection release of the RAN, transmit, to a session management function (SMF), a PDU session release request message to release the PDU session.

12. The network node of claim 8 , wherein the deregistration request message includes at least one of 5 th generation-globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI), a deregistration type, or an access type to be deregistered.

13. The network node of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

when the usage reporting for the second RAT is not required for the PDU session, transmit, to a session management function (SMF), a PDU session release request message to release the PDU session.

14. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from the SMF, a PDU session release response message.
