Patent ID: 10827409

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 4th-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.A method for a base station to perform communication in a wireless communication system includes transmitting an interface setup request message related to tracking area information to at least one mobility management entity (MME) in a first MME pool. The method includes identifying whether an interface setup response message related to the tracking area information is received from the at least one MME in the first MME pool, and storing mapping information between the tracking area information and the first MME pool if the interface setup response message is received.
