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. Disclosed is a method by which a terminal collects information related to handover performance and efficiently reports the information to a base station.

Claims (36)

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

receiving, from a terminal, paging probability information;

determining a paging group for the terminal based on the paging probability information; and

transmitting, to the terminal, an identity corresponding to the determined paging group for the terminal.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to a base station, the identity corresponding to the determined paging group for the terminal.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the paging probability information is received using a registration request message, and

wherein the identity corresponding to the determined paging group for the terminal is transmitted using a registration accept message.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the paging group is used by the terminal for receiving an indication associated with a paging message before the paging message is transmitted.

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

identifying paging probability information;

transmitting, to an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, the identified paging probability information; and

receiving, from the AMF entity, an identity corresponding to a paging group for the terminal, in case that the paging group for the terminal is determined based on the paging probability information by the AMF entity.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the identity corresponding to the paging group for the terminal is transmitted to the base station.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the paging probability information is received using a registration request message, and

wherein the identity corresponding to the paging group for the terminal is transmitted using a registration accept message.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the paging group is used by the terminal for receiving an indication associated with a paging message before the paging message is transmitted.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a terminal via the transceiver, paging probability information,

determine a paging group for the terminal based on the paging probability information, and

transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, an identity corresponding to the determined paging group for the terminal.

10 . The AMF entity of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit, to a base station via the transceiver, the identity corresponding to the determined paging group for the terminal.

11 . The AMF entity of claim 9 , wherein the paging probability information is received using a registration request message, and

wherein the identity corresponding to the determined paging group for the terminal is transmitted using a registration accept message.

12 . The AMF entity of claim 9 , wherein the paging group is used by the terminal for receiving an indication associated with a paging message before the paging message is transmitted.

13 . A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

identify paging probability information,

transmit, to an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity via the transceiver, the identified paging probability information, and

receive, from the AMF entity via the transceiver, an identity corresponding to a paging group for the terminal, in case that the paging group for the terminal is determined based on the paging probability information by the AMF entity.

14 . The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the identity corresponding to the paging group for the terminal is transmitted to the base station.

15 . The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the paging probability information is received using a registration request message, and

wherein the identity corresponding to the paging group for the terminal is transmitted using a registration accept message.

16 . The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the paging group is used by the terminal for receiving an indication associated with a paging message before the paging message is transmitted.
