Abstract

The present specification proposes a method and a device for transmitting or receiving information in a wireless communication system supporting network slicing. Specifically, a method for transmitting a registration request message for a network by a terminal (user equipment (UE)) in a wireless communication system may comprise the steps of: receiving network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) for the network, wherein the NSSAI includes at least one of first NSSAI set for the network, second NSSAI allowed to the network, and/or third NSSAI set for the terminal; generating a registration request message on the basis of the NSSAI; and transmitting the registration request message to the network, wherein the registration request message is generated on the basis of a third NSSAI value and/or whether the third NSSAI is included in the NSSAI.

Claims (41)

1. A method of transmitting a registration request message for a network by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) for the network, the NSSAI including at least one of first NSSAI configured for the network, second NSSAI allowed for the network, and/or third NSSAI configured for the UE;

generating the registration request message based on the NSSAI; and

transmitting the registration request message to the network,

wherein the registration request message is generated based on whether the third NSSAI is included in the NSSAI and/or based on a value of the third NSSAI,

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, the registration request message is generated based on the value of the third NSSAI,

wherein unless the third NSSAI is included in the NSSAI, the registration request message includes at least one of the first NSSAI and/or the second NSSAI,

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, and the value of the third NSSAI being a preset specific value, the registration request message does not include the first NSSAI, the second NSSAI, and the third NSSAI, and

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, and the value of the third NSSAI not being the preset specific value, the registration request message is included in the third NSSAI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preset specific value is a single (S)-NSSAI set to a NULL value or a value preset according to a predetermined rule.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third NSSAI includes at least one S-NSSAI, and

Wherein the at least one S-NSSAI is configured in a high-level first S-NSSAI group or a low-level second S-NSSAI group depending on priority of a service provided by the network.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on the at least one S-NSSAI being configured in the first S-NSSAI group, an access and mobility management function (AMF) for the UE is selected based on the at least one S-NSSAI.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the third NSSAI is configured UE-specifically.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a registration request message to a network in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting/receiving a signal; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver, wherein the processor is further configured to control the UE to:

receive network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) for the network, the NSSAI including at least one of first NSSAI configured for the network, second NSSAI allowed for the network, and/or third NSSAI configured for the UE;

generate the registration request message based on the NSSAI; and

transmit the registration request message to the network,

wherein the registration request message is generated based on whether the third NSSAI is included in the NSSAI and/or based on a value of the third NSSAI,

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, the registration request message is generated based on the value of the third NSSAI,

wherein unless the third NSSAI is included in the NSSAI, the registration request message includes at least one of the first NSSAI and/or the second NSSAI,

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, and the value of the third NSSAI being a preset specific value, the registration request message does not include the first NSSAI, the second NSSAI, and the third NSSAI, and

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, and the value of the third NSSAI not being the preset specific value, the registration request message is included in the third NSSAI.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the preset specific value is a single (S)-NSSAI set to a NULL value or a value preset according to a predetermined rule.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the third NSSAI includes at least one S-NSSAI, and

wherein the at least one S-NSSAI is configured in a high-level first S-NSSAI group or a low-level second S-NSSAI group depending on priority of a service provided by the network.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein based on the at least one S-NSSAI being configured in the first S-NSSAI group, an access and mobility management function (AMF) for the UE is selected based on the at least one S-NSSAI.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the third NSSAI is configured UE-specifically.

11. A network configured to route a registration request message for the network in a wireless communication system, the network comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting/receiving a signal; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive the registration request message from a UE; and

route the registration request message to a specific access and mobility management function (AMF),

wherein the UE receives network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) for the network, the NSSAI including at least one of first NSSAI configured for the network, second NSSAI allowed for the network, and/or third NSSAI configured for the UE, and wherein

wherein the registration request message is generated based on whether the third NSSAI is included in the NSSAI and/or based on a value of the third NSSAI,

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, the registration request message is generated based on the value of the third NSSAI,

wherein unless the third NSSAI is included in the NSSAI, the registration request message includes at least one of the first NSSAI and/or the second NSSAI,

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, and the value of the third NSSAI being a preset specific value, the registration request message does not include the first NSSAI, the second NSSAI, and the third NSSAI, and

wherein based on the third NSSAI being included in the NSSAI, and the value of the third NSSAI not being the preset specific value, the registration request message is included in the third NSSAI.
