Method and apparatus for modifying PDU session and always-on PDU session in wireless communication system
The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that combines a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system with IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g. 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. A method performed by a session management function (SMF) entity in a communication system, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: performing a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure; identifying a QoS flow generated for ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) in a PDU session; identifying whether an indicator indicating that the PDU session is an Always-on PDU Session has ever been transmitted to a terminal; and when it is identified that the indicator has not been transmitted to the terminal, transmitting the indicator to the terminal.
1. A method of a session management function (SMF) entity in a communication system, comprising:
performing a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure or a first PDU session modification procedure;
identifying that an ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) quality of service (QOS) flow established via a second PDU session modification procedure is created in a PDU session, wherein the URLLC QOS flow requires an always-on PDU session; and
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a PDU session modification command message for the second PDU session modification procedure, wherein the PDU session modification command message includes an indicator indicating that the PDU session is the always-on PDU session based on identifying that the URLLC QOS flow is created in the PDU session, in case that the indicator has not been transmitted to the UE in the PDU session establishment procedure or the first PDU session modification procedure.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user plane resource for the always-on PDU session is established whenever the UE transitions from a connection management (CM)-IDLE mode to a CM-CONNECTED mode.
3. A method of a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, comprising:
performing a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure or a first PDU session modification procedure;
and
receiving, from a session management function (SMF), a PDU session modification command message for a second PDU session modification procedure, wherein the PDU session modification command message includes an indicator indicating that a PDU session is an always-on PDU session based on an ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) quality of service (QOS) flow established via the second PDU session modification procedure being created in the PDU session, in case that the indicator has not been received from the SMF in the PDU session establishment procedure or the first PDU session modification procedure, wherein the URLLC QOS flow requires the always-on PDU session.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a user plane resource for the always-on PDU session is established whenever the UE transitions from a connection management (CM)-IDLE mode to a CM-CONNECTED mode.
5. A session management function (SMF) entity in a communication system, comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
perform a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure or a first PDU session modification procedure,
identify that an ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) quality of service (QOS) flow established via a second PDU session modification procedure is created in a PDU session, wherein the URLLC QoS flow requires an always-on PDU session, and
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a PDU session modification command message for the second PDU session modification procedure, wherein the PDU session modification command message includes an indicator indicating that the PDU session is the always-on PDU session based on identifying that the URLLC QoS flow is created in the PDU session, in case that the indicator has not been transmitted to the UE in the PDU session establishment procedure or the first PDU session modification procedure.
6. The SMF entity of claim 5 , wherein a user plane resource for always-on PDU session is established whenever the UE transitions from a connection management (CM)-IDLE mode to a CM-CONNECTED mode.
7. A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
perform a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure or a first PDU session modification procedure,
receive, from a session management function (SMF), a PDU session modification command message for a second PDU session modification procedure, wherein the PDU session modification command message includes an indicator indicating that a PDU session is an always-on PDU session based on an ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) quality of service (QOS) flow established via the second PDU session modification procedure being created in the PDU session, in case that the indicator has not been received from the SMF in the PDU session establishment procedure or the first PDU session modification procedure, wherein the URLLC QOS flow requires the always-on PDU session.
8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein a user plane resource for the always-on PDU session is established whenever the UE transitions from a connection management (CM)-IDLE mode to a CM-CONNECTED mode.
