Abstract

Disclosed is a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of a terminal in a wireless mobile communication system comprises the steps of: receiving data network information including data network access permission region information and data network identification information; checking whether the terminal enters a data network access permission region, on the basis of the data network information; and performing a data network access procedure on the basis of the checking result.

Claims (33)

1. A method performed by a session management function (SMF) entity in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, a request message for establishment of a protocol data unit (PDU) session for a local area data network (LADN) with respect to a terminal;

transmitting, to the AMF entity, a response message for the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN as a response to the request message; and

after the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN, in case that the SMF entity is notified from the AMF entity that the terminal moves out of an LADN service area that is a set of tracking areas (TAs) for the LADN, deactivating a user plane connection for the PDU session for the LADN while maintaining the PDU session for the LADN, wherein downlink data for the PDU session is discarded.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response message is a reject message in case that the terminal is out of the LADN service area.

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

transmitting, to a session management function (SMF) entity, a request message for establishment of a protocol data unit (PDU) session for a local area data network (LADN) with respect to a terminal; and

receiving, from the SMF entity, a response message for the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN as a response to the request message,

wherein, after the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN, in case that the AMF entity notifies the SMF entity that the terminal moves out of an LADN service area that is a set of tracking areas (TAs) for the LADN, a user plane connection for the PDU session for the LADN is deactivated while maintaining the PDU session for the LADN and downlink data for the PDU session is discarded.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the response message is a reject message in case that the terminal is out of the LADN service area.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving a request message for a registration with the terminal, the request message originating from the terminal; and

transmitting, toward the terminal, an accept message as a response to the request message for the registration, the accept message including a data network name (DNN) of the LADN and the LADN service area.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving, from the terminal, a message for requesting the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN in case that the terminal is in the LADN service area, the message originating from the terminal.

7. A session management function (SMF) entity in a communication system, the SMF entity comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, a request message for establishment of a protocol data unit (PDU) session for a local area data network (LADN) with respect to a terminal,

transmit, to the AMF entity, a response message for the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN as a response to the request message, and

after the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN, in case that the SMF entity is notified from the AMF entity that the terminal moves out of an LADN service area that is a set of tracking areas (TAs) for the LADN, deactivate a user plane connection for the PDU session for the LADN while maintaining the PDU session for the LADN, wherein downlink data for the PDU session is discarded.

8. The SMF entity of claim 7 , wherein the response message is a reject message in case that the terminal is out of the LADN service area.

9. An access and mobility management function (AMF) entity in a communication system, the AMF entity comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a session management function (SMF) entity, a request message for establishment of a protocol data unit (PDU) session for a local area data network (LADN) with respect to a terminal, and

receive, from the SMF entity, a response message for the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN as a response to the request message,

wherein, after the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN, in case that the AMF entity notifies the SMF entity that the terminal moves out of an LADN service area that is a set of tracking areas (TAs) for the LADN, a user plane connection for the PDU session for the LADN is deactivated while maintaining the PDU session for the LADN and downlink data for the PDU session is discarded.

10. The AMF entity of claim 9 , wherein the response message is a reject message in case that the terminal is out of the LADN service area.

11. The AMF entity of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to:

receive a request message for a registration with the terminal, the request message originating from the terminal, and

transmit, toward the terminal, an accept message as a response to the request message for the registration, the accept message including a data network name (DNN) of the LADN and the LADN service area.

12. The AMF entity of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to receive, from the terminal, a message for requesting the establishment of the PDU session for the LADN in case that the terminal is in the LADN service area, the message originating from the terminal.
