Method for requesting authentication between terminal and 3rd party server in wireless communication system, terminal therefor, and network slice instance management device
The present invention relates to a communication system and method for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system. The present invention provides a system and method by which a user equipment (UE) transmits, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first message including information related to a network slice in a first authentication, and receives, from the AMF, a third message including a result of a second authentication, wherein whether to require the second authentication is determined by the AMF based on the information and subscription information, and wherein the second authentication between the UE and a server is triggered based on the determination.
1. A method for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting, to a network function associated with mobility management, a first message including information related to a network slice; and
receiving, from the network function associated with mobility management, a third message including a result of an authentication for the network slice,
wherein whether or not to require the authentication is determined by the network function associated with mobility management based on subscription information, and
wherein the authentication for the network slice with a server is triggered in case that the authentication is determined to be required.
2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the information related to the network slice includes at least one of tenant information and a slice type, and
wherein the server includes an authentication server.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authentication is performed based on credentials.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein whether to skip additional authentication is determined depending on the result of the authentication.
5. A method for a network function associated with mobility management, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a first message including information related to a network slice;
determining whether an authentication for the network slice is required or not based on subscription information;
triggering the authentication for the network slice with a server based on the determination;
receiving, from the server, a second message including a result of the authentication; and
transmitting, to the UE, a third message including the result of the authentication.
6. The method of claim 5 ,
wherein the information related to the network slice includes at least one of tenant information and a slice type, and
wherein the server includes an authentication server.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the authentication is performed based on credentials.
8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
determining whether to skip additional authentication depending on the result of the authentication.
9. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to:
transmit, to a network function associated with mobility management, a first message including information related to a network slice, and
receive, from the network function associated with mobility management, a third message including a result of an authentication for the network slice, wherein a first authentication of the UE has been performed,
wherein whether or not to require the authentication is determined by the network function associated with mobility management based on subscription information, and
wherein the authentication for the network slice with a server is triggered in case that the authentication is determined to be required.
10. The UE of claim 9 ,
wherein the information related to the network slice includes at least one of tenant information and a slice type, and
wherein the server includes an authentication server.
11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the authentication is performed based on credentials.
12. The UE of claim 9 ,
wherein whether to skip additional authentication is determined depending on the result of the authentication.
13. A network function associated with mobility management, the network function associated with mobility management comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to:
receive, from a user equipment (UE), a first message including information related to a network slice,
determine whether an authentication for the network slice is required or not based on subscription information,
trigger the authentication for the network slice with a server based on the determination,
receive, from the server, a second message including a result of the authentication, and
transmit, to the UE, a third message including the result of the authentication.
14. The network function associated with mobility management of claim 13 ,
wherein the information related to the network slice includes at least one of tenant information and a slice type,
wherein the authentication is performed based on credentials, and
wherein the server includes an authentication server.
15. The network function associated with mobility management of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to determine whether to skip additional authentication depending on the result of the authentication.
