Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -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.

Claims (52)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

establishing a multiple-access protocol data unit (MA PDU) session in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and a non-3rd generation partnership project (N3GPP) access in a 5 th -generation system (5GS);

determining whether the MA PDU session is moved to an evolved packet system (EPS) without an N26 interface between the 5GS and the EPS after the establishing the MA PDU session; and

releasing a context related to an access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS), wherein the context related to the ATSSS is associated with ATSSS rules and measurement assistance information for the MA PDU session,

wherein a release of the MA PDU session is triggered over the N3GPP access by a network entity in the 5GS.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the network entity, a request message,

wherein a request message includes a request type and session information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the request type is an indicator related to a handover.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein transmitting the request message comprises:

transmitting a plurality of request messages according to a plurality of session identifiers, and

wherein a plurality of session information, including session information for the MA PDU session, includes the plurality of session identifiers.

5. A method performed by a network entity in a 5 th -generation system (5GS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

triggering a release of a multiple-access protocol data unit (MA PDU) session over a non-3rd generation partnership project (N3GPP) access; and

releasing a context related to an access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS), wherein the context related to the ATSSS is associated with ATSSS rules and measurement assistance information for the MA PDU session,

wherein the MA PDU session is established in both a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and the N3GPP access in the 5GS, and

wherein the MA PDU session is moved to an evolved packet system (EPS) without an N26 interface between the 5GS and the EPS.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, a request message,

wherein a request message includes a request type and session information.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the request type is an indicator related to a handover.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the request message comprises:

receiving a plurality of request messages according to a plurality of session identifiers, and

wherein a plurality of session information, including session information for the MA PDU session, includes the plurality of session identifiers.

9. A terminal, comprising:

a transceiver capable of transmitting and receiving at least one signal; and

a controller coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the controller is configured to:

establish a multiple-access protocol data unit (MA PDU) session in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and a non-3rd generation partnership project (N3GPP) access in a 5 th -generation system (5GS),

determine whether the MA PDU session associated with the terminal is moved to an evolved packet system (EPS) without an N26 interface between the 5GS and the EPS after establishing the MA PDU session, and

release a context related to an access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS), wherein the context related to the ATSSS is associated with ATSSS rules and measurement assistance information for the MA PDU session,

wherein a release of the MA PDU session is triggered over the N3GPP access by a network entity in the 5GS.

10. The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, to the network entity, a request message, and

wherein a request message includes a request type and session information.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the request type is an indicator related to a handover.

12. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to transmit a plurality of request messages according to a plurality of session identifiers, and

wherein a plurality of session information, including session information for the MA PDU session, includes the plurality of session identifiers.

13. A network entity in a 5 th -generation system (5GS), the network entity comprising:

a transceiver capable of transmitting and receiving at least one signal; and

a controller coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the controller is configured to:

trigger a release of a multiple-access protocol data unit (MA PDU) session over a non-3rd generation partnership project (N3GPP) access, and

release a context related to an access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS), wherein the context related to the ATSSS is associated with ATSSS rules and measurement assistance information for the MA PDU session,

wherein the MA PDU session is established in both a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and the N3GPP access in the 5GS, and

wherein the MA PDU session is moved to an evolved packet system (EPS) without an N26 interface between the 5GS and the EPS.

14. The network entity of claim 13 ,

wherein the controller further is configured to receive, from a terminal, a request message, and

wherein a request message includes a request type and session information.

15. The network entity of claim 14 , wherein the request type is an indicator related to a handover.

16. The network entity of claim 14 , wherein the controller is configured to transmit a plurality of request messages according to a plurality of session identifiers, and

wherein a plurality of session information, including session information for the MA PDU session, includes the plurality of session identifiers.
