Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 21:
22. A second network function entity for managing an event monitoring for a group of terminals in a wireless communication system, the second network function entity comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
receive, from an application function entity associated with a configured monitoring event, a first monitoring request message for modifying the configured monitoring event, the first monitoring request message including a first identifier corresponding to the configured monitoring event, an operation of group management for the group of terminals, and a terminal identifier indicating a terminal impacted by the operation, and
transmit, to a first network function entity, a second monitoring request message based on the first monitoring request message, the second monitoring request message including a second identifier corresponding to the configured monitoring event, a third identifier for deletion operation, the operation and the terminal identifier, wherein the operation includes at least one of an addition of the terminal to the group or a deletion of the terminal from the group,

wherein the configured monitoring event is updated for the impacted terminal identified by the terminal identifier based on the operation,
wherein information for modifying the configured monitoring event is transmitted to a third network function entity associated with the impacted terminal from the first network function entity in case that the configured monitoring event is needed to be performed in the third network function entity, based on the second monitoring request message, the information including the second identifier and the terminal identifier, and
wherein in case that the operation is deletion of the terminal from the group, the third identifier is transmitted to the third network function entity.
