Method and device for providing a service for a terminal in a wireless communication system
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. An apparatus and method are provided for supporting a high data rate service. A method for an application server includes receiving, from a first terminal, a service request for a second terminal; identifying that the second terminal is in a power saving mode; and transmitting an early media service to the first terminal based on information related to the power saving mode of the second terminal.
1. A method for an application server, the method comprising:
receiving, from a mobility management entity (MME), information related to a power saving mode of a terminal;
receiving, from a first terminal, a service request for a second terminal;
identifying that the second terminal is in a power saving mode using the information received from the MME; and
transmitting an early media service to the first terminal based on information related to the power saving mode of the second terminal, the early media service being used to notify a user that the service is delayed.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the early media service comprises:
determining that period information included in the information related to the power saving mode is greater than or equal to a predetermined value; and
triggering the transmitting of the early media service based on a result of the determining.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying that the second terminal is in the power saving mode comprises:
receiving a terminal information change indication message from the MME in response to an event occurring in the second terminal; and
identifying the information related to the power saving mode that is included in the terminal information change indication message.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the early media service comprises at least one of an indication as to whether the second terminal is in the power saving mode or an indication of an expected standby time before the requested service is provided.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power saving mode is associated with an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mode.
6. An application server, comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive, from a mobility management entity (MME), information related to a power saving mode of a terminal,
receive, from a first terminal, a service request for a second terminal,
identify that the second terminal is in a power saving mode using the information received from the MME, and
transmit an early media service to the first terminal based on information related to the power saving mode of the second terminal, the early media service being used to notify a user that the service is delayed.
7. The application server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
determine that period information included in the information related to the power saving mode is greater than or equal to a predetermined value; and
trigger the transmitting of the early media service based on a result of the determining.
8. The application server of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive a terminal information change indication message from the MME in response to an event occurring in the second terminal, and
identify the information related to the power saving mode that is included in the terminal information change indication message.
9. The application server of claim 6 , wherein the early media service at least one of an indication as to whether the second terminal is in the power saving mode or an indication of an expected standby time before the requested service is provided.
10. The application server of claim 6 , wherein the power saving mode is associated with an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mode.
