Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that combines IoT technology with a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE), and to a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. According to various embodiments of the present invention, a method and apparatus for controlling an access of a terminal in a wireless communication system that provides a private network slice may be provided.

Claims (50)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), system information including a list of closed access group (CAG) identifiers (IDs);

identifying whether a CAG ID that the terminal is allowed to access is included in the list of the CAG IDs;

in case that the CAG ID that the terminal is allowed to access is not included in the list of the CAG IDs, transmitting, to the AMF, a registration request message including information indicating an update of private network configuration information; and

receiving, from the AMF, a registration accept message including the private network configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicating the update of the private network configuration information includes at least one of an indication for closed access group (CAG) update, a CAG identifier (ID) preset for updating the private network configuration information, or information indicating a slice for updating the private network configuration information.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in case that information indicating that additional authentication is required is included in the registration accept message, transmitting, to the AMF, a request message for establishing a protocol data unit (PDU) session;

receiving, from the AMF, a response message including information indicating that PDU session establishment is successful; and

receiving, from the AMF, a UE configuration update message including the private network configuration information.

4. A method performed by an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, system information including a list of closed access group (CAG) identifiers (IDs);

in case that a CAG ID that the terminal is allowed to access is not included in the list of the CAG IDs, receiving, from a terminal, a registration request message including information indicating an update of private network configuration information of the terminal;

transmitting, to a user data management (UDM), a registration request message for registering the terminal;

receiving, from the UDM, a subscription data profile (SDP) including the private network configuration information of the terminal; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a registration accept message including the private network configuration information.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the information indicating the update of the private network configuration information includes at least one of an indication for closed access group (CAG) update, a CAG identifier (ID) preset for updating the private network configuration information, or information indicating a slice for updating the private network configuration information.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

in case that information indicating that additional authentication is required is included in the registration accept message, receiving, from the terminal, a request message for establishing a protocol data unit (PDU) session;

transmitting, to a session management function (SMF) for updating the private network configuration information of the terminal, the request message for PDU session establishment;

receiving, from the SMF, a response message for PDU session establishment in case that authentication with a private network management server is successful;

transmitting, to the terminal, a response message including information indicating that PDU session establishment is successful; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a UE configuration update message including the private network configuration information.

7. A terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller is configured to:

receive, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) via the transceiver, system information including a list of closed access group (CAG) identifiers (IDs),

identify whether a CAG ID that the terminal is allowed to access is included in the list of the CAG IDs,

in case that the CAG ID that the terminal is allowed to access is not included in the list of the CAG IDs, transmit, to the AMF, a registration request message including information indicating an update of private network configuration information through the transceiver, and

receive a registration accept message including the private network configuration information through the transceiver from the AMF.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the information indicating the update of the private network configuration information includes at least one of an indication for closed access group (CAG) update, a CAG identifier (ID) preset for updating the private network configuration information, or information indicating a slice for updating the private network configuration information.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is configured to:

in case that information indicating that additional authentication is required is included in the registration accept message, transmit, to the AMF via the transceiver, a request message for establishing a protocol data unit (PDU) session,

receive, from the AMF via the transceiver, a response message including information indicating that PDU session establishment is successful, and

receive, from the AMF via the transceiver, a UE configuration update message including the private network configuration information.

10. An access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, system information including a list of closed access group (CAG) identifiers (IDs),

in case that a CAG ID that the terminal is allowed to access is not included in the list of the CAG IDs, receive, from a terminal via the transceiver, a registration request message including information indicating an update of private network configuration information of the terminal,

transmit, to a user data management (UDM) via the transceiver, a registration request message for registering the terminal,

receive, from the UDM via the transceiver, a subscription data profile (SDP) including the private network configuration information of the terminal, and

transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, a registration accept message including the private network configuration information.

11. The AMF of claim 10 , wherein the information indicating the update of the private network configuration information includes at least one of an indication for closed access group (CAG) update, a CAG identifier (ID) preset for updating the private network configuration information, or information indicating a slice for updating the private network configuration information.

12. The AMF of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to:

in case that information indicating that additional authentication is required is included in the registration accept message, receive, from the terminal via the transceiver, a request message for establishing a protocol data unit (PDU) session,

transmit, to a session management function (SMF) for updating the private network configuration information of the terminal via the transceiver, the request message for PDU session establishment,

receive, from the SMF via the transceiver, a response message for PDU session establishment, in case that authentication with a private network management server is successful,

transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, a response message including information indicating that PDU session establishment is successful, and

transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, a UE configuration update message including the private network configuration information.
