Patent ID: 11909828

Abstract:
Disclosed is a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the disclosure, provided is a method for operating an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: receiving, from user equipment (UE), a service request including a list of protocol data unit (PDU) sessions to be activated, or a message about a mobility registration update; checking, on the basis of UE context information about the UE, whether identifiers (IDs) of all of always-on PDU sessions are included in the list of PDU sessions to be activated; and, when an omitted always-on PDU session is checked from the list of the PDU sessions to be activated, transmitting, to a session management function (SMF), a Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext request message for requesting user plane activation of the omitted always-on PDU session.
