Patent ID: 10893408

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related service, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT related technology. An embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a method for transmitting and receiving a profile by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising the steps of: downloading the profile from a server that manages a profile for providing a communication service, and installing the same in an internal universal integrated circuit card (UICC); and deleting the profile from the UICC when a request event related to deletion of the profile is detected.
