Method for supporting lawful interception of remote ProSe UE in network
The disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, and security and safety related services, on the basis of 5G communications technologies and IoT-related technologies. A method for operating relay UE in a mobile communication system includes transmitting, to a network node connected to the relay UE, a remote UE report message including remote UE information about a remote UE accessing a network via the relay UE, wherein the remote UE information includes IP address information allocated to the remote UE; starting a timer upon transmitting the remote UE report message to the network node; receiving, from the network node, a response message in reply to the remote UE report message; and stopping the timer upon receipt of the response message from the network node. the IP address information includes an IP address and port information of the remote UE in case that IPv4 is used as an address type.
1. An operation method by a relay user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a network node connected to the relay UE, a remote UE report message including remote UE information about a remote UE connected to a network via the relay UE or disconnected from the relay UE, wherein the remote UE information includes Internet protocol (IP) address information allocated to the remote UE;
starting a timer upon transmitting the remote UE report message to the network node;
receiving, from the network node, a response message in reply to the remote UE report message; and
stopping the timer upon receipt of the response message from the network node,
wherein the IP address information includes an IP address and port information of the remote UE in case that IP version 4 (IPv4) is used as an address type.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote UE information comprises user information associated with the remote UE.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the IP address information further includes an IP address or IPv6 prefix of the remote UE in case that IP version 6 (IPv6) is used as the address type.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the user information comprises at least one of International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), mobile subscriber integrated services digital network number (MSISDN), a session initiation protocol (SIP) uniform resource identifier (URI), user information for proximity-based service (ProSe), and Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI), Generic Public Subscription Identifier (GPSI).
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote UE report message is a control message for a packet data network (PDN) connection in order for the relay UE to use the remote UE as a relay.
6. An operation method by a network node in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a relay user equipment (UE), a remote UE report message including remote UE information about a remote UE connected to a network via the relay UE or disconnected from the relay UE, wherein the remote UE information includes Internet protocol (IP) address information allocated to the remote UE; and
transmitting, to the relay UE, a response message in reply to the remote UE report message,
wherein the IP address information includes an IP address and port information of the remote UE in case that IP version 4 (IPv4) is used as an address type.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the remote UE information comprises user information associated with the remote UE.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the IP address information includes an IP address or IPv6 prefix of the remote UE in case that IP version 6 (IPv6) is used as the address type.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the user information comprises at least one of International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), mobile subscriber integrated services digital network number (MSISDN), a session initiation protocol (SIP) uniform resource identifier (URI), user information for proximity-based service (ProSe), and Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI), Generic Public Subscription Identifier (GPSI).
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the remote UE report message is a control message for a packet data network (PDN) connection in order for the relay UE to use the remote UE as a relay.
11. A relay user equipment (UE) operating in a mobile, communication system, the relay UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to:
transmit, to a network node connected to the relay UE, a remote UE report message including remote UE information about a remote UE connected to a network via the relay UE or disconnected from the relay UE, wherein the remote UE information includes Internet protocol (IP) address information allocated to the remote UE,
start a timer upon transmitting the remote UE report message to the network node,
receive, from the network function, a response message from the network node in reply to the remote UE report message, and
stop the timer upon receipt of the response message from the network node,
wherein the IP address information includes an IP address and port information of the remote UE in case that IP version 4 (IPv4) is used as an address type.
12. The relay UE of claim 11 , wherein the remote UE report message is a control message for a packet data network (PDN) connection in order for the relay UE to use the remote UE as a relay, and the remote UE information comprises Internet protocol (IP) address information allocated to the remote UE and user information associated with the remote UE.
13. A network node operating in a mobile communication system, the network node comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to:
receive, from a relay user equipment (UE), a remote UE report message including remote UE information about a remote UE connected to a network via the relay UE or disconnected from the relay UE, wherein the remote UE information includes Internet protocol (IP) address information allocated to the remote UE, and
transmit, to the relay UE, a response message in reply to the remote UE report message,
wherein the IP address information includes an IP address and port information of the remote UE in case that IP version 4 (IPv4) is used as an address type.
